Compassionate Resilience: Online Therapy for Trauma, Grief, and LGBTQ+ Support in California
When you are grieving a deep loss, your emotions can feel completely overwhelming. You don’t have to protect others or hide your pain here. This is your safe place to unpack those heavy feelings and find your resilience again.
If you often feel judged or misunderstood for how you express your feelings, you're not alone.
Does any of this sound familiar?
-
Weighed down by the past? Feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety or carrying old wounds and shame into your current relationships.
-
Exhausted by minority stress? Navigating the heavy toll of discrimination, harassment, or feeling dismissed just for being who you are.
-
Grieving a deep loss? Struggling to let go of the pain, feeling it slow down your mind and your body.
-
Hiding your true feelings? Feeling embarrassed by your emotions or frustrated by others who minimize them.
​
If you’re navigating deep emotional pain, it’s okay to admit how hard this is.
Many people struggle to manage intense emotions and face unfair stigma for how they cope—especially within the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. You don't have to carry the weight of minority stress or emotional exhaustion alone.
Interested in starting your healing journey?
You don’t have to keep feeling this way.
If your emotions ever make you feel "too much" or completely misunderstood, I see you. I provide a safe space to help you feel grounded, safe, and truly connected—both with yourself and in your relationships.
​
How We’ll Work Together
Instead of just talking about the pain, we focus on moving past it. I use a combination of EMDR, Somatic Stress Release, and Hypnosis to help your nervous system finish processing what you’ve been through.
-
Heal the Nervous System: Stop reliving the past and start being present in your everyday life.
-
Access Inner Strength: Hypnosis is a gentle, safe way to tap into your subconscious resilience, unlocking a much greater potential for healing.
-
Focus on Solutions: We will spotlight your natural strengths and resources, focusing on practical ways to help you thrive.
You are not damaged or broken—you’re human. You don't have to carry this alone. You can heal, and I am here to guide you every step of the way.
I work best with...
My specialized care is best suited for those suffering with trauma, grief, and LGBTQ-related stress. Online therapy works best with kids 12 and older and adults.
Trauma Therapy
I support healing from childhood trauma and/or current traumatic events. I use body-mind techniques like EMDR therapy, hypnotherapy and Somatic Stress Release to help you release the past and live fully in the present.
Grief Therapy
When your loss holds your emotions hostage and you feel too much pain and yearning for the way things were, an experienced grief therapist can help you face the reality and figure out how to live without that state anymore. I have training and expertise in helping those grieving from recent or long-ago loss.

LGBTQ Therapy
Facing the ignorance and hatred of the world can add to an already stressful life. We can mourn the losses in your life, deal with the trauma of bullying and harassment, and build resilience for this complex, bewildering world. I provide a supportive space for people facing marginalization, rejection, or traumatic experiences.
Anxious teen therapy
I love helping teens who feel anxious or depressed because of being marginalized for how they feel or identify. They're under so much pressure and vulnerable to bullying, school performance, social worries, and a dim view of the future. We can support them to help them be happier and calmer.
Evidence-based Tools to Help You Heal
My specialized care is best suited for those suffering with trauma, grief, and LGBTQ-related stress. Online therapy works best with kids 12 and older and adults. I use body-based, effective ways to help you heal.
EMDR Therapy & Flash Technique
Perfect for busy professionals or those with limited mobility and stamina, I provide EMDR therapy online. These cutting-edge tools process highly distressing memories quickly, which lowers their emotional charge without having to endlessly relive the pain.
Somatic Stress Release
When your body is negatively impacted by anxiety, stress, grief, or post traumatic stress, it's hard to feel good in the moment. This body-centered framework gently unlocks the hold it has on you. You learn to release its hold on you. Whether you want to explore this individually or in group therapy, you'll be surprised what wisdom your body holds and what you can learn from it!
Clinical Hypnotherapy
A gentle, nourishing way to tap into your inner resources and bypass the critical, overthinking mind. There is wisdom in the unconscious mind; let's tap into that creativity and greatness to help you undo old, negative patterns and thrive physically, emotionally and spiritually.
