I help first responders, parents, parent, high-functioning professionals, and trauma survivors - including those navigating perinatal mental health and birth trauma- move from burnout and overwhelm to regulation, resilience, and real relief.
Specialized Trauma Therapy for the Ones Who Carry So Much
EMDR & Trauma Therapy in Roseville, CA & Across California
I became a therapist after navigating my own healing journey — one shaped by childhood trauma, birth loss, and the unique stressors of life inside a first responder family. I know how exhausting it is to be the one who holds everything together, while quietly unraveling underneath.
That’s why I created this practice: to offer real, human, trauma-informed support for people who feel like they “should” be fine, but know something deeper needs tending.
Personal. Present. Trauma-Informed.
Therapy That Meets You in the Mess, Without Flinching
I’m a licensed trauma therapist, EMDR provider, and fellow human who's lived some of what you're navigating. As part of a first responder family, a parent, and a trauma survivor myself, I know how important it is to have support that feels real, not clinical or cold.
Not Your Blank Slate Therapist
You're functioning, sure, but the tension in your shoulders says otherwise. You’re on edge more often than not, and even rest feels like another task on the to-do list.
You’ve Been Holding It Together for a Long Time
You’ve seen hard things. And some of them stick around longer than they should. Maybe it hits you at night. Maybe it shows up when you least expect it. Either way, it’s heavy.
You Keep Replaying That One Call, And It Won’t Let You Go
You're successful, driven, maybe even admired, but something's not syncing. You're tired of feeling stuck in your head and out of touch with yourself.
Everything Looks Great On Paper. So Why Does It Feel Off?
Maybe things went sideways. Maybe no one prepared you for how hard this would feel. You love your baby, and still, you're grieving what happened, or what didn’t.
Birth Was Supposed to Be Beautiful. It Was Anything But.
You’ve gotten very good at saying “It’s fine” so they don’t have to carry what you carry. But somewhere along the way, protecting them started to look like pulling away.
You want to protect your partner from the things you’ve seen or felt, but it’s starting to cost you.
You’re smart, capable, and constantly bracing for guilt or conflict. People-pleasing got you far. But it’s also left you drained, resentful, and out of touch with your own needs.
Saying "No" Feels Like a Full-Body Panic Attack
does this sound familiar?
Support That Speaks to Your Story
I’ve built this practice around the real-life challenges my clients face. Each of these paths offers focused, specialized support for what you’re carrying.
This grounding guide was developed to support increased regulation and development of a personal plan for engaging skills to support regulation based on the level of stress, overwhelm, or activation being felt in a moment.
The activation scale supports the understanding that at certain heightened experiences, certain grounding tools may feel harder to use than others (ex. using breathwork when feeling a sense of panic can be challenging, but visual orienting may support grounding in that moment).
