Bisexual Therapists in San Luis Obispo, CA
Are you looking for more than symptom management? Do you want deep, vital, and long-lasting change? Then you’ve found your place. My passion is supporting you to become your most authentic self. Helping you to heal your traumas, fears, and pain which often prevents you from being exactly who you want to be. My favorite sessions are when a client and I get to look back on our time together and we can track just how much they have grown and changed and how much happier they are now. I often joke that I’m trying to work myself out of a job. I want you to have the insight, skills, awareness, and practice to live a fuller life.

My clients seek a safe, non-judgmental, space where they can show up authentically, receive support navigating painful experiences, find ways to cope and manage distress, and to have an objective "sounding board." Often clients hope to process the impact that their experiences have had on them while identifying ways they can create changes that will allow them to live their lives in ways that are fulfilling, meaningful, and values-driven.

You feel stuck and don’t know what to do next, wishing you could stay in bed forever. What used to be easy now feels overwhelming. Your deepest fear is that you’re inherently bad, defective, "too much," unworthy, or unlovable. You might feel alone, isolated, frightened, angry, lost, or even enraged. If you’re queer, trans, gender nonbinary, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, fat, or bigger-bodied, you’re welcome here. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, bereavement, disordered eating, or body image issues—no matter your age or if you’re seeking “outside help”—you belong. You are the expert on your own experience.

Have you outgrown some aspect of your current life and either longing for change, or had change hit you over the head? When you come to a crossroads, there is an invitation to step into a new stage of development which is uncertain, unfamiliar and feels risky. You may have a hard time trusting yourself to make the "right" decisions, and feelings of anxiety, grief, sadness and self-doubt may remind you of painful, early life experiences you've tried to forget. Although challenging, life transitions present a huge opportunity for healing and growth by waking us up out of our trance, and begging us to explore what matters most.

I believe that we all come into this world as our original precious self. As we develop through childhood experiences, family, culture and society, we often lose touch with our true soul. Oftentimes we are hurt. Challenges and traumas can keep these hurts buried. Any issues left unacknowledged or unresolved keep demanding our attention. How do we overcome? Is it even possible to heal? According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies away anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible...

Thank you for being here. I appreciate your courageous step in exploring therapy. My goal is to be a partner in understanding your inner world.

A strong therapeutic relationship is key to healing, and I’d love to speak with you to see if working together feels like a good fit.

Sitting with oneself, whether in individual, couple or family therapy, is not easy and I see my clients as courageous and hopeful for taking this step. Sometimes therapy is healing and transformational, other times it is simply a space to take some deep breaths. Either way, my practice is always client-centered and compassion-based, being present with you in whatever space you are in. My hope in working with me is that you develop a sense of self-compassion and a strength-based lens to view yourself and your relationships through.
