Art Therapy in San Francisco, CA
We are living in challenging times. When a heartbreaking loss knocks us down to the ground, or a trauma from the past gets activated from a recent event, it can feel unbearable to cope with so much already happening in the world. In our work together, we will bring the healing power of awareness to the discomfort in a safe and supportive setting to help you increase your capacity to be with the pain, and move through it. So often we are unaware of the patterns we hold in our bodies and minds that keep us stuck. Together we can shed light on what is happening so you can choose how you want to respond and show up in your life.

Looking for a queer therapist? My focus as a therapist is serving LGBTQ+, gender non-binary, & transgender adults, adolescents, & couples/polycules in California. I offer EMDR and IFS-informed Parts Work for trauma recovery and building stronger relationships. For couples/polycules, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to teach confidence in conflict resolution and expressing more vulnerable needs. Engaging in therapy now is more important than ever, especially in response to our current political climate and backlash of incredible disrespect toward the LGBTQ+ community. Living our best lives is the strongest form of resistance!

You might often feel you need those around you to be “okay” in order for you to feel “okay,” and you may prioritize others over yourself. From the outside you are functional and successful, but inside you're carrying the weight of others' needs and expectations. Therapy is a great first step in shifting the focus to yourself. I enjoy working with a range of clients, but work especially well with those who identify as caretakers, codependents, loved ones of addicts, multicultural, & people-pleasers. I also specialize in working with children and families, such as those navigating anxiety, structural family changes, social challenges.

I recognize the complexity of each person's history and circumstances and employ a wide variety of techniques to guide my clients in their self-discovery.

Oftentimes, those who appear the most "put-together" are those who feel they are on the edge of falling apart. We are shaped by all of our experiences, which can sometimes result in us engaging with life in ways that feel painful, discouraging, upsetting, or confusing. I offer a space to focus on mindfulness, skill integration, and reflection to explore deeper aspects of the self. Although confronting what we keep hidden can feel overwhelming, giving a voice to the thoughts and feelings that influence actions can illuminate root causes, shifting unconscious patterns and leading to lives we are excited to live.

I also incorporate strengths-based and solution-focused methods, art therapy, and motivational interviewing.
I understand the therapy process as a practice of paying close attention to what is actually happening in our present-moment experience. While this may sound simple, it is often a profoundly challenging and transformative stance to maintain in daily life.
In therapy, we bring thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relational patterns into clearer awareness. Aspects of experience that may once have been outside of conscious awareness become more visible, allowing us to relate to them with greater understanding and perspective. From this place of awareness, new possibilities for choice and change often begin to emerge.

Do you know what you want?
Do you want to be free? Happy? Relaxed in your body? Content? Passionate and sexy? Courageous in the face of fear? More connected to your partner or to the Divine?
How do you get in the way of living the life you want?
Do you constantly judge yourself? Noticing all the ways you "fail" to live up to way you "should" be.
Or do you tend to direct that criticism outwards? Blaming others, feeling envy, or always waiting for external circumstances to line up just right so you can finally live how you want.

You're high-functioning and driven, and on the outside, things look fine. But inside there's a relentless current: people-pleasing that leaves you empty, anxiety that doesn't match your circumstances, a quiet fear of what might unravel if you slow down. Burnout that rest doesn't fix, or intrusive thoughts you can't logic your way out of. You've tried to figure it out on your own. You're self-aware, probably the person others come to for support, and still something won't shift. That's not a failure of willpower. It's a signal that the work needs to go somewhere deeper than the thinking mind can reach.
