We are hard wired to be social creatures yet we often find ourselves in isolation with our pain, fears and defended parts. It can be scary to open ourselves up to others and have these parts witnessed, but I find that when we bring to light things that are so expertly shuffled to hidden unseen places, that a transformation of our life can occur. I believe that we each hold the wisdom of self identity and what we need for growth within ourselves and my passion is to support individuals and couples to discover a way of being that is in alignment with their best selves. Explorations in self inquiry are key steps to be able to identify where you are and where you have been, so you will be better informed and capable of taking the next steps towards where you want to be. Oftentimes, there have been experiences and relationships which cut off or impair access to our full sense of self. This can lead to the creation of limiting thought patterns, self-destructive beliefs, unhealthy behaviors, and blockages to new perspectives which, over time, fuel the formation of unconscious defensive patterns.

In service of creating safety for survival and for connection, we find ourselves living from these defensive patterns verses from our authentic selves. This can take us in directions where we feel powerless, incapable, unlovable, angry, and suffering from various dis-eases such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain/dysfunction, unhealthy relationships, and low self esteem. My work is grounded in a collaboration of relational, mindfulness, client centered, transpersonal, somatic and trauma informed psychotherapy theories. I believe the most impactful aspect to the best therapy outcomes stem from the quality of the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. Most wounding is experienced within relationship, and it is with a safe and compassionate relationship that it can begin to heal.

My intention with every client is to show up with an open mind and heart to create a safe space for healing and empowerment to occur. I work with the whole of each client and with deep respect to how the intersectionality of our race, ethnicity, religion, ability, sexual orientation, identity, education, socioeconomic class and more influence our lived experiences and wellness journey. I value the unique stories that unfold within each of our lives and hold a collaborative, non-judgmental, client centered treatment approach. If you are ready to start your process of self discovery and healing or have questions about my work or the therapy process overall, please contact me at 650-241-9757 or [email protected] I provide a free 15 minute consultation to assess how my work may support you at this time and to set up our first appointment.
