Healing often begins in the quiet moments — that faint tug inside that whispers you can’t keep carrying everything alone. In our work together, I want you to have a place where you can finally set things down. A place where the ache you’ve been holding can stretch out, breathe, and be met with gentleness instead of pressure or judgment.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in genuine connection. I sit with you, not above you — listening closely to the stories you’ve lived through, the pain you’ve learned to hide, and the strength you don’t always see. Together, we move slowly and intentionally, exploring anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles at a pace that honors your nervous system and your heart.
I draw from CBT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and person-centered, holistic practices — not as rigid techniques, but as tools we weave into the moments when you need grounding, clarity, or a way to steady yourself. Over time, your voice gets stronger. Your patterns make more sense. And the parts of you that learned to survive begin to feel safe enough to soften.
I work with adults, teens, and couples, meeting each person exactly as they are. Whether you’re craving connection, relief, direction, or simply a place to land, I’m here to walk beside you. Healing isn’t something you have to do alone. I’m here — fully, gently — as you find your way back to yourself.

She is so understanding and patient. I feel really comfortable opening up to her.

Sequoia has been a truly positive and grounding experience. She creates a calm, safe space that makes it easy to open up and talk about things that are difficult to share. I really appreciate how she listens without judgment and offers insight that feels both compassionate and practical. Each session leaves me feeling more aware, supported, and confident in managing my emotions and challenges. Sequoia genuinely cares about her clients’ growth and well-being, and it shows in the way she approaches every conversation. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is patient, understanding, and deeply committed to helping you make real progress.
