I draw on family system, CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic and attachment theory, and narrative theory.
I work best with clients who are fully engaged, participate in the therapy process, and are willing to approach counseling with a sense of openness. Each individual is unique, so it takes time to open up and build a therapeutic relationship. We will work as a team and will come up with the best solution for you.

I've had wonderful mentors, teachers, and training in the use of EMDR, ketamine assisted psychotherapy, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialetical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy, and mindfulness.
Offering EMDR, ketamine assisted therapy, KA-EMDR therapy, and therapy for overthinking minds in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with online therapy throughout California, North Carolina, and Florida. You find yourself in a constant state of ‘doing’ in order to stay out of your own head. You’re trying to care less about what others think of you, but your mind constantly wanders back to that last interaction. You notice and soak up the feelings and moods of others, even when you try to tune it out. Are you ready to get to the root of what’s been getting in your way? Schedule a free consultation

I draw from current neuroscience research, CBT, and mindfulness techniques to guide us in sessions and also strongly believe in the healing effects that the therapeutic relationship itself can elicit.
No matter what age or developmental phase of life we are in, it can be so easy to become trapped in ideas of who we should be or how we should be by looking to external comparisons. In therapy, I offer myself as an ally and guide to help you discover the version of yourself that brings you the most internal joy and satisfaction. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment in the therapy room that allows you to consider all facets of yourself and to truly examine what your needs are and how to meet them.

"Look within. All you need, you have. Use it. Behave as best you know; do what you think you should. Don't be afraid of mistakes; you can always correct them; only intentions matter. The shape things take is not within your power; the motives of your actions are." (Nisargadata 1973, p.365)

I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral interventions and psychodynamic approach in my work, as well as a sense of humor.
I work with both individuals and couples in a warm and supportive environment. I've worked in private practice for over 20 years. The couples I see are married or not, gay or straight, highly distressed or wanting a "tune-up". With individuals, I'm collaborative: you're the expert on "you" and we work together to help you feel your best, most authentic self.

I work with individuals, couples, and teens using a Psychodynamic approach, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems as tools to help manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.
Hi! I know it's very difficult to choose the right therapist for you. It is important to me that my clients feel safe and comfortable. Through warmth, support, and compassion, we will go at the pace you feel comfortable. It takes time to build trust and get to know each other, but in time my goal is that you feel seen and heard as we set goals and work towards helping you feel better and healing and solving what brings you to therapy.

My approach is eclectic and trauma informed, mixing CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered techniques.
I’m a bilingual Latinx LPCC in California, and I support adults navigating life’s big changes, whether it is a shift in relationships, family, work, or personal identity. Many people I work with feel stuck, anxious, depressed or disconnected from themselves, unsure how to move forward after a breakup, loss, or life transition. Together we explore what matters most to you, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and find ways to reconnect with yourself with clarity, care, and compassion.

Do you feel stuck? Many people begin psychotherapy because they feel something is "off". They are dissatisfied, but unclear about what they want; they feel that "something is missing," but they're not sure what it is. Others begin psychotherapy because they find themselves repeatedly cycling through unhealthy relationship patterns and they want to change. Additionally, we all have traumas and woundings within us, to varying degrees. Psychotherapy can help untangle these knots and move you through suffering and pain towards greater health, integration, wholeness, vitality, and well-being.

I also use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, as well as trauma-informed strategies (EMDR).
Have you been feeling increasingly on edge, easily distracted, or irritable? Do you catch yourself overanalyzing and questioning decisions or interactions with other people? Do you feel disconnected, lonely, or unsure of yourself? These are all natural feelings, and we all struggle sometimes. But occasionally life throws one thing too many at us and moving forward requires a little more work. This can be especially true if you have recently experienced a significant life change, such as relationship break up, death of a loved one, career change, or welcoming a child. Therapy can offer the needed support and change of perspective.

I am an IFS-informed and EMDR certified therapist, and my approach is person-centered, drawing from principles of CBT, psychodynamic theory, and mindfulness.
I imagine you’ve been hard on yourself lately. Thoughts like, “you’re not good enough” or “you should be over this by now,” may play on repeat, unchecked. My approach is focused on self-compassion, the art of reworking internal narratives to respond to yourself in a gentler, more understanding manner. You may not feel ready or deserving to treat yourself more kindly, but I would be honored to hold that warm space for you until you are.
