"Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us." - Meister Echkart. I am an integral psychotherapist who specializes in working with adult individuals and couples. My approach is person-centered, and I believe that clients benefit most from the truth that they, themselves, discover. My training is grounded in transpersonal psychotherapy, which is informed by depth psychology, existential/humanistic perspectives, and perennial philosophy.

If you've tried talk therapy, meditation, and other cognitive approaches yet keep lapsing into old cycles, it's time to try something new! Our "state drives story," meaning our nervous system and primitive brain directs our thinking; often, it's not the other way around. Also, the healing journey is not a one-size-fits-all experience, so I draw on my training in EMDR, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, attachment therapy, somatic therapy, wilderness therapy, Polyvagal theory, and addictions counseling to best meet you where you are in your process. You can heal and thrive through experiential therapies.

I'm a forest dwelling, Northern California native devoted to helping folks leverage neuroplasticity and treat symptoms at the source. My clients are the seekers with BIG questions, creatives, women and those in search of greater emotional resilience, healthy boundaries and self-compassion. I believe that good therapy should empower people via the acquisition of new tools, and that it’s through this process we shift from surviving to thriving and begin to self heal. Together, we’ll explore how to break the cycle of burnout, rediscover joy and re-learn how to trust ourselves and others.

Therapy serves many purposes. It can be a means of processing those life events we have thus far failed to make meaning of. It can be a way of identifying patterns with the goal of shifting or evolving new modes of being. It can be a neutral place to sort out difficult conflicts in the Here-and-Now. It can be a training field, where new tools and techniques are developed to better leap life's many hurdles. I am a therapist with a firm belief that the capacity for change lies within us all!

I support my clients to transform stress, trauma, grief, relationship turmoil, and difficult habits into creativity, vitality, and freedom, using a rare combination of mindfulness, art therapy, and compassionate exploration of each clients unique experiences. My view is that all people hold the ability to evolve, and ultimately hold the wisdom within needed to do so. I collaborate with my clients as both an ally and a guide, to generate deep self acceptance, work through painful inner conflict, access imagination and genuineness, practice clear and empowered communication, and take action to live in more fulfilling ways.

Sometimes the world seems dark, troubling, overwhelming. As humans we are faced with so many choices, possibilities are endless and there are so many unknowns. In the midst of uncertainty, it may seem daunting to reach out for help. Buried deep within the unknown, the darkness, the overwhelm, is the spark of inner light. You know it is there but may appear just out of reach. The light of clarity, of purpose and forward movement is a possibility, and you are ready to come out of the darkness and turn towards this light. We are dedicated to helping you uncover the layers of darkness, and find this inner light.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has devoted most of my experience to working with adolescents and their families supporting the transition from childhood to young adulthood for both parents and teens.
I also work extensively with couples, both in supporting the parental relationship as well as strengthening parenting skills, as I have found that with the mounting stress in today's society, a strong home foundation improves the whole system.

Life is a complex journey that can feel overwhelmingly hard at times. We might be faced with challenges pertaining to adolescence, exploration of self, depression, anxiety, transitioning into adulthood, marriage, and/or relationship dynamics, miscarriages, loss/grief, birth and death, to name a few. And, asking for support may also feel as though it is not even in the realm of possibility. Issues around relationships, addressing marital roadblocks, divorce, self acceptance, connection, vitality, laughter, not enough support, wanting to be seen and wanting the love you never had are still possible to cultivate.

On the outside, it appears you have it all together. You have an ideal life with a great job, a good marriage and a lot of friends. But something is off. On the inside, you feel alone: no one knows the burdens you carry. You have tried everything you know to do, but still feel depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. You're terrified of the moment when everyone figures out you are a fraud. You know on paper you have a good life, and you're confused why you don't feel happy. You have come to the right place. Therapy can help you resolve those internal thoughts, feelings and stuck points that no one else sees.
