I’m experienced in a variety of modalities and am excited to offer EMDR services to support folks in processing trauma and grounding their nervous systems.
I am accepting new clients and am currently available for weekday evening sessions. My primary focus is adults and teens, BIPOC, and Queer folks. I'm looking to work with folks who want to prioritize their healing, lean into difficult conversations, and embrace change in their lives. If you struggle with anything from life transitions or relationships, to managing the stress of systemic oppression, then we may be a good fit for each other. As a Bay Area native, my healing work draws inspiration from the political and cultural movements of the Bay, integrating principles of liberation, decolonization, and collective care.

I work psychosomatically through methods like EMDR & family constellation work with the wholeness of body, mind & spirit as a central part of one's family system.
Clients I work with tend to have experienced developmental trauma that interferes with their relationships to themselves, partners and family members; have taken on shame, blame, guilt or distorted thinking/gaslighting from their family systems often throughout generations; and therefore likely experience issues around trust, intimacy, vulnerability and self love. I am committed to helping my clients to gain more peace and safety within their personal bodies, their homes, their relations and their family systems so they can experience more choice, empowerment and joy in their lives.

I am EMDR-certified and trained in DBT, which improves mindfulness, managing difficult emotions and stress.
"We are now able to see the essential ingredient that makes psychotherapy effective and successful. It is not unconditional positive regard, nor is it magical words, techniques, or postures; it is human involvement and struggle. It is the willingness of the therapist to extend himself or herself for the purpose of nurturing the patient's growth - willingness to go out on a limb, to truly involve oneself at an emotional level in the relationship."

As an EMDR therapist, I help people break free from old patterns using an intensive format.
I am an EMDR therapist who helps strong, independent and sensitive people get unstuck from the same rollercoaster of emotions and patterns. On your good days, you feel positive about yourself and where you're headed in life. Other times, you are weighed down by anxiety, depression, worry, and negative thoughts about yourself or something that happened to you in the past. And this impacts your work, school, or relationships. Maybe you've even gone to therapy before in the past; while it did help, you still feel stuck in a loop of negative emotions and are just ready to move forward!

Deep integrative work can be done through traditional talk therapy along with other modalities such as EMDR, mindfulness, yoga & somatic therapy or expressive arts and collaborating with complementary and alternative medicine providers.
I take a holistic, somatic and transpersonal/spiritual approach to therapy, looking deeply into the interplay between mind, body and spirit and working at the root level of our physical experience: the nervous system. I work collaboratively with clients to explore socio-cultural considerations, how we fit or don't fit in that context and our opportunities for growth. We'll sort through to find and examine unconscious patterns and get creative to generate alternatives that put you more in line with your goals and life purpose. If you don't know what those are, we'll figure that out too.

EMDR can help sort this out and decrease PTSD symptoms and ultimately build a life worth living.
Trauma comes in many forms. It can be from childhood abuse, car accidents, toxic work environment, toxic relationship, racial injustice, war, rape, bullying, natural and manmade disasters like wildfires and earthquakes. You may have the symptoms of PTSD but not have explicit memories of the traumatizing experience. EMDR walks you through a series of steps to help decrease the symptoms of PTSD (nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, insomnia, avoidance and hopelessness about the future). It also helps to map out a plan to deal with future triggers and gives a renewed and positive belief system about the self. I offer a free consultation.
