About Me:

  • My clients describe me as:

    Kind, experienced, and with a warm presence. I lead with caring curiosity and I'm committed to be your companion of your healing process.

  • Something to know about my approach is:

    I practice Somatics, a body-mind approach that helps us slow down to pay attention to body experience to access more feeling, ease, and change. I integrate IFS, a form of therapy that invites us to befriend our parts to hear their stories and needs.

  • Together, we will:

    Practice feeling emotions with less overwhelm and more ease. Reconnect with the body to feel more present. Discover your needs and how to meet them. Heal from shame and cultivate self-compassion. Listen and honor the histories that have shaped you.

  • I specialize in working with people who:

    Feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck. Folks that have gone through trauma and want to access self-compassion, heal shame and feel more present, grounded, and joyful. I particularly enjoy working with folks new to body-mind practices.

  • Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

    We can work together via Teletherapy in any location in California. I offer a hybrid teletherapy/in-person option for folks in Oakland, Ca.

  • More about me and my practice:

    I offer a free 20 minute consultation. Please contact me if you have any questions to discuss the possibility of us working together.
