My clinical approach is strength-based, culturally humble, and trauma-informed. I believe in working in a collaborative non-judgmental space to meet your needs and treatment goals. I'm experienced working with individuals with anxiety, depression, substance-use disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and other challenges related to life transitions and trauma across the lifespan. I primarily utilize a DBT or ACT-based art therapy approach with a critical social- justice lens and have significant experience implementing this approach with resilient adolescents and emerging adults.

Therapy is most effective as a collaborative process in which your needs and desires for growth are prioritized. The foundation of my approach to therapy stems from the wholehearted belief that our bodyminds, those seemingly interminable knots of body and psyche, are orientated towards liberation. As much as we may desire freedom from those things that provoke suffering in our lives, we also desire the freedom to imagine new futures. I offer Psychotherapy via telehealth (over Zoom or phone) for anyone living in California and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy in person at my office in Sebastopol, CA.

Anxiety, shame, and chronic guilt; you don’t know how to relax, and you probably don’t sleep very well. The perfectionism is crippling, and you're exhausted. Maybe you're a people-pleaser with terrible boundaries, or a former “gifted and talented” kid, or a child of immigrants always reaching for "good enough." Your inner critic is loud. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension and panic attacks; procrastination and indecision; an overwhelming to-do list; and difficulty in relationships. Perfectionists don't already do things perfectly—they feel like they HAVE to do better, but they’re ALWAYS falling short.

You need to talk, and I'm here to listen. But listening isn’t all that I’ll do. I collaborate with clients in a dynamic process of exploration and discovery. I will ask you thought-provoking questions, invite you to consider new perspectives, and engage you in a conversation that will promote insight and growth. I believe an authentic, trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I may challenge you to “try on” a different way of thinking or to break free from an entrenched pattern of behavior, but I will always lead with compassion and respect.

Some of these core issues are under the surface (shadow) and show up as anger, depression, self-doubt, dis-trust & anxiety. Often these emotional patterns are caused by old wounds that are calling for your attention. Understanding why these responses were formed takes them out of the shadows, freeing you from the power they have over you.

If you are looking for a therapist who is highly experienced, professional, knowledgeable, warm and has a sense of humor, then I believe you will find those qualities in working with me. If you are experiencing depression or anxiety, if you are impacted by childhood trauma, or recent trauma, if you are caught in negative patterns in your life or in your relationships, psychotherapy is an effective way to help you create the change you are seeking. I have been in practice since 1993 and have helped many people feel happier, break out of old patterns, heal trauma and discover a sense of well-being.

Don't know which way to turn? I'm convinced that part of you DOES know. If you're depressed, anxious, frustrated, confused, or in emotional pain, I will sit with you in that place with love until you hear your own inner wisdom guide you. I will help you access that knowledge through focusing your attention on your emotional body, listening to your unique story, and in many other ways holding a mirror up to YOU. We'll look at unhelpful mental habits you've picked up to survive in this world, and figure out what would work better.

If you are here, something is probably not-quite-right. Maybe you have realized that you are ready to do a big chunk of healing work that has been in the back of your mind and nervous system for a while. Maybe you are noticing that you are, in some ways, not being totally honest with yourself, or with your partner(s), or with your family. Maybe you have found that there are parts of you that you've never taken the time to get to know that are asking — loudly or quietly— for attention. Or maybe you just know that you need to carve out a time for yourself every week where you don't have to take care of anyone but yourself.

Life can be challenging. My goal is to help you manage the tough times and celebrate the good times in a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

My ideal client is active in their own healing. At times, insight & realizations may flow freely, whereas, at other times, the journey is more introspective & contemplative. Whether this is your first experience with therapy, or you're well-seasoned and consider yourself "therapized", I welcome you to individual or couple's therapy. I like helping you recognize & identify your emotions and the impact they have on you, so you are able to tend to your feelings appropriately, and communicate your needs more effectively with those around you. This process increases intimacy, and deepens your relationship with yourself & your partner(s).
