Heart-centered therapy for cultivating inner trust, confidence, and finding your way back to yourself
Hi! I’m a heart-centered therapist, dream specialist, and author based in Newport Beach. I help professionals, moms, and creatives struggling with low confidence and self-doubt rebuild inner trust, cultivate self-worth, and remember their authentic selves.
Did you begin your career or this next chapter of your life feeling confident and optimistic, only to find yourself struggling with anxiety, low confidence, and not feeling good enough? Maybe you don’t quite recognize yourself anymore.
Maybe you are feeling…
Overwhelmed at work or home, feeling tired, and having a hard time getting things done
Anxious about overwhelming responsibilities in your home or career
Nervous about holding presentations or nervous about meeting with certain friend groups or colleagues
Worried about things going wrong
Distracted and lacking focus, having a hard time concentrating, writing, completing projects, reading books, or organizing the house
Intimidated by managers or friends who feel “more successful than you”
Unsure of what to do now, maybe wondering about your career, life purpose, and higher meaning
Burnt out from perfectionism and always trying to be the best at everything you do
Lost from your new role in life and don’t feel like yourself anymore
You are in good company. This experience is more common than you might think, and…
Life doesn’t have to feel this hard.
Experiencing self-doubt and not feeling good enough often comes from underlying anxiety, stressful experiences, and unprocessed trauma.
Working with a licensed psychotherapist can help you explore the deeper roots of your symptoms through an integrative approach. My therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic, person-centered therapy, and I also integrate EMDR, mindfulness and psychodynamic dreamwork.
Through EMDR, mindfulness, and dream analysis, I support you in identifying unconscious patterns and processing traumatic and stressful memories, while working through limiting beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. I strive to provide a warm and heart-centered space where you feel seen, heard, understood, and inspired to tap into your inner wisdom.
I gently support you as you reconnect with your inner strength and wisdom and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life. I help clients like you rebuild inner trust, cultivate self-worth, and develop tools for regulating the nervous system, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and deepen your inner connection. I bring authenticity and self-compassion into the heart of my work—in how I show up in life, and in how I support my clients.
I love doing deep work together including dreamwork and inner exploration. By bringing awareness to unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs, you create space for greater clarity and a deeper connection with your authentic self.
I invite you to schedule a free consultation call where we can have a heart-centered conversation and explore if we are a good fit, and if therapy feels right for you.

A Journey to Inner Balance
Cultivate Inner Trust and Remember Your Authentic Self.
With higher awareness, you may begin to experience more clarity and recognize that you have greater choice in how you respond to situations. Over time, you can learn to respond with clear intention rather than feeling driven by automatic nervous system reactions. Clarity creates trust and makes room for creativity and authentic expression.
I specialize in helping individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma cultivate inner trust and self-worth. I support you through periods of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, uninspired, stuck, not feeling good enough, or feeling disconnected from your life path. I offer a holistic approach to therapy. Our sessions unfold in a warm, heart-centered space where we gently explore unconscious patterns that may be holding you back while helping you build tools to regulate your nervous system, deepen self-awareness, improve inner trust, cultivate healthier ways of thinking, and respond to challenges with greater clarity and intention.
Healing can come from many places, most importantly from your own heart. In our work together, my wish is for you to deepen your inner connection and build self-worth and inner trust.
I specialize in helping professionals, moms, and creatives, ages 20-64. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, not feeling good enough, low inspiration, having vivid dreams, struggling with uncertainty, grief, and major life transitions.
Got creativity on the mind?
Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness - it demonstrates your courage to honor your true story.
By exploring what may be weighing you down, you create room to reconnect with what brings you joy, meaning, and fulfillment. With both EMDR and dreamwork, it is not uncommon for clients to report feeling more creative and inspired.
Clarity creates trust and makes room for creativity and authentic expression.
