Art Therapy in Mill Valley, CA
I do art therapy, EMDR, TFT, TEB, Somatic Regulation and Resilience ,hypnotherapy, and sand tray therapy.
I generally work with high functioning people at important junctures in life where the suffering is great. Asking for help is often a powerful step of surrendering the ego's attempts to resist change. Symptoms are often a sign that something is trying to wake up inside of you. When you turn your attention inward and get intimate with your inner life you can generate the energy to heal, to grow and to change. I specialize in somatic table work for treating developmental trauma. This work focuses on repairing developmental wounds, strengthening somatic resilience and increasing capacity for regulation in the nervous system.

For teens: Perhaps you have a hunch that something is not quite right and you’re not feeling like yourself. Maybe something happened recently that is more than you can hold, that is overwhelming, anxiety-provoking, or pushing you toward despair. Maybe there are some big decisions coming up and you want to talk it all out. Maybe you just want a weekly time to check in and ask yourself, “How am I really doing?” Whatever it is you're going through, you don’t have to “go it alone.” Think of me as a relational/emotional coach who would love to walk beside you as you navigate the ups and downs of teen life.

You are deserving of peace and happiness. Often times life has a way of throwing us challenges that feel overwhelming and unmanageable. These challenges can make us feel alone, stressed, and unsupported. These feelings tend to stay with us even when we are separated from the challenge itself and leak into other aspects of our life. This then prevents us from focusing on other important life events and the challenges we face may become all-consuming. This can feel as though you are not present and are missing out on the simple joy’s life can bring. You are not alone.

Licensed in CA, IL, & MO. You've survived. You've coped. You’ve done healing ceremonies & sat in therapy, built real integrity into your values - maybe even built a good life from the outside. But something still feels off: disconnected, unsure, lonely in a way you can't quite name. I will guide you on how to navigate those surges of anxiety at 3 a.m., when the real you is waiting to be heard. I work at the intersection of modern trauma science & ancient contemplative wisdom, using a theory I call Dynamic Trauma Integration to help you move from surviving into truly being present - at home with your true nature.

I also have additional training in Brainspotting, IFS, Relational Somatic Healing, and Tamalpa Life/ Art process, which all offer ways to process & transform traumatic and/or unhelpful imprints from the past.
I support people navigating the often overwhelming and lonely experience of healing from c-PTSD, or complex relational trauma. Early trauma, whether from unmet needs or overt abuse, can warp our sense of self and imprison us in frozen fear, shame, or reactivity, impacting every aspect of our lives. Therapy can help us find more freedom and connection – to all the lost and disowned parts of our psyches; to our amazingly resilient bodies, fiercely compassionate hearts and creative spirits; to other beings, community, and nature; to the present moment; to meaning and purpose; and to a felt sense of safety, agency, and possibility.

What is holding you back from living the life you have been dreaming of? I will help you bridge the gap between how you see your self today and the person you want to become. Anxiety, low self worth, grief, relationship issues, career concerns, and other life challenges are barriers to living life to it's fullest - but they don't have to be permanent blocks! Our hardships can also be catalysts to tremendous change and growth where, like the lotus flower (my practice logo), something beautiful can bloom from even the muddiest waters. You have the ability to learn new tools, try out new strategies, and you don't have to do it alone!
