Whether it’s due to genetics, difficult events in our childhood, unforeseen life circumstances, or painful relationships sometimes we feel like we have been created or forced into ways of being that are painful. Sometimes those traumas show up as depression or anxiety, sometimes as dissociation or feelings we don't belong. I’m passionate about working with folks who recognize the pain of big and small traumas alike, and care about making the world a better place for us all to exist in. Sometimes that means understanding what happened to us better, sometimes that means changing our relationships with others and/or ourselves.

Self growth and healing take immense courage and I commend your decision to start on this journey. This process isn't always easy but it is especially helpful to have a guide and a coach to help you through the difficulties. I have extensive experience working with individuals who are suffering due to trauma, grief, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, or feeling stuck in life. I specialize in working with Silicon Valley Professionals, People of Color, LGBTQ, and Immigrants. My focus is to view you as a whole and help you cultivate self compassion and self love.

Hello! It is my honor and passion to help bring about meaningful, positive change in your life. My approach coalesces research-based practices and psychological insight, drawing from attachment, emotion-focused therapy, internal family systems, and somatic psychology. I value collaboration and partnership in the therapeutic process in order to instill a sense of agency and empowerment that you innately possess. As your therapist, I am empathic, compassionate, non-judgmental, patient, and open. My focus is to help you process and heal from life’s challenges and transgressions; you deserve to live a fulfilling, peaceful life.

Welcome! I am glad you are here. Asking for support can be challenging. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I utilize an unconventional approach to talk therapy. First let's identify what you would like to change or remove from your life. Then we will build steps together to make the change possible. We will use techniques through breathing, movement and brain spotting. We will make plans together to bravely explore yourself to understand who you are.

Life can present many obstacles, and I aim to offer you a space where your voice is heard, your experiences validated, and where you can learn new strategies to navigate challenges. I come from a trauma-informed and integrative approach, I utilize techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and others tailored to your needs. In recognizing each person's individuality, background, and culture, my approach is flexible, adapting to your unique circumstances. My priority is to create an environment that feels welcoming, safe, and meaningful, however this may look for you in our journey!

I specialize in working with ADHD, HSP, and ASD. Being in our bodies- and being in our world- can be very difficult. This is especially true when when you're a highly sensitive person. My typical client often hears "you're being too much" while also dreading the feeling of not "being enough". I'm here to take a deep dive into what's making you feel like "too much" and highlight the ways you are "just enough for the right people". Typically, my client's goals are to live more comfortably in their sensitive skin, find liberation from shame, and better manage depression and anxiety.

Sometimes it can be really challenging to make time for ourselves and for our mental health. For some of us, it's even more difficult when our identities and culture held no space for our feelings or emotions. We may have had to put up with crossed boundaries, invalidated feelings, unrealistic expectations, and conditional love that depended on how much we have accomplished. Those difficult and maybe even traumatic experiences that we, and our families, have lived through may have been written off as "this is just how things are." Although we may want to rest and pause, we instead might begin to feel shame or guilt for doing so.

My greatest desire is for you to flourish and be free. Change is always difficult - even good change. If you need support during any transitional phase of life, I am happy to help. I have specific training and experience in many realms, including: young adult transitions & adjustment, depression & anxiety, mothering & post-partum, parenting children with disabilities, trauma & abuse, gender identity, sexual orientation, spiritual growth, religious harm, & anti-racism. I work with young adults, adults, committed partners, gender non-conforming, intersex, & trans individuals, families, caregivers, empaths & highly sensitive people.

Trauma and other difficult experiences can impact the way we view our relationships, the world, and ourselves. I support clients in processing traumatic experiences, identifying triggers, and reclaiming their sense of safety and joy. I work with teens, adults, couples/relationships, and families of all kinds. I welcome and affirm non-traditional family structures (donor, adoption, foster, blended families), members of LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent individuals, and people who have had negative experiences with therapy in the past.

Many of the clients I work worth identify as high-functioning on the outside, but internally exhausted, isolated, and stuck. Anyone can get caught in a rut and wrapped up in patterns we can’t see. We all have the innate capacity to heal and feel whole, but it’s difficult and frustrating to work on self-repair when you aren’t even sure what needs healing.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I get excited about helping people find their personal path of growth, healing and self-discovery. I want to support you feeling safe and supported just as you are. I support all identities and relationship expressions and want to help you find more comfort and empowerment in your life.

Please note: emailing me via Psychology Today is preferred to calling, thank you! I know it's exhausting to live in a world that asks us to mask our true identities, needs, and the most unique and beautiful parts of ourselves. We all deserve to have a safe space where we can explore the masks that we wear and the selves beneath them. I have lived experience with neurodivergence, dissociation, polyamory, and am queer and nonbinary, so I understand how valuable it is to have a therapist who understands intersectional experiences and can provide a space for non-judgmental authenticity in healing.

I work with women, men, and teens of color seeking coaching to manage difficult times, depression symptoms, and addressing experiences of social and community harm. Learn more about me at www.bestlifecoach.co.
