Awareness is where change begins; integration is where it lasts.
Meet Roz, a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT #134886) supporting adults navigating anxiety, identity, and relationships through life’s transitions
True healing begins beneath the surface.
Moving Beyond Symptom Management: In a world that prizes quick fixes and "hacks," it is easy to treat our distress like a problem to be managed. But when we only focus on the surface—the racing thoughts, the exhaustion, the relational friction—we miss the roots. Healing isn't about silencing your symptoms; it’s about understanding the internal landscape that created them.
The Work of Depth: Looking beneath the surface means moving toward the things we’ve learned to overlook. It is an exploration of the narratives you carry, the patterns you’ve inherited, and the subtle ways your body holds onto your history. My approach is for the person who is no longer satisfied with just "getting by" and is ready to do the meaningful work of self-discovery.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in deep curiosity about your inner world. We spend time understanding the patterns, beliefs, and nervous-system responses that have shaped how you move through life.
I draw from depth-oriented therapy, EMDR, and somatic awareness to help connect the dots between past experiences and present challenges; not to relive the past, but to loosen its hold. Sessions are reflective, relational, and responsive to what you bring each week, tying everything together to move toward deeper healing and lasting change. Together, we work toward greater clarity, balance, and more intentional choice in how you live and relate.
My curiosity has always been the driving force behind my training, both formal and experiential.
I’ve never been interested in simply gathering tools; I’ve been driven to understand people, patterns, and the deeper “why” beneath emotional pain. That curiosity shapes how I listen, how I ask questions, and how I help clients reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve lost touch with along the way.

To provide a truly integrative experience, I have pursued advanced training in several evidence-based and depth-oriented modalities. This allows us to tailor our work to what your system actually needs—whether that is structured processing or deep, relational exploration.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Completed Parts 1 & 2 of EMDRIA-approved training through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. This specialized approach helps process traumatic memories and "stuck" patterns that talk therapy alone often cannot reach.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Integration: Trained through Fluence in the clinical integration of KAP. I support clients in preparing for and processing psychedelic experiences to foster long-term neurological and emotional shifts.
Psychodynamic & Relational Depth: Advanced training through intensive clinical mentorship, focusing on the unconscious processes, attachment styles, and the "here-and-now" of the therapeutic relationship.
Evidence-Based Behavioral Frameworks: DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and CBASP (Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy). These tools provide the structural "scaffolding" for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectivenes

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision- it is crucial that you feel a connection with whom you choose. I offer a free consultation to give you a feel for what it would be like to work together and determine if we’re a good match.
