As a therapist specializing in childhood trauma and emotional neglect, I fully understand your needs and how to help you.
Are you an adult who hasn't fully gotten over how you were treated as a child? Do you keep repeating the same negative relationship patterns or have negative beliefs about your worth? Are you overcome with sadness about the childhood you should have had and feel that you weren't given a "voice" or "choice" as a child? Have you experienced emotional neglect and/or feel that you weren't emotionally cared for as a child? Are you having difficulty navigating your adult relationship(s) with one or more of your parents because of how they treated you or because they are emotionally immature? If any of these feel true to you, I can help.

As a therapist, I help individuals navigate their challenges by offering evidence-based therapies designed to address various mental health issues, such as, anxiety, PTSD, depression, trauma, and other mood disorders.
I recognize the profound impact past traumas can affect one's life, leading to negative beliefs, anxiety, and depression, as well as making it difficult to face challenges. Healing and personal growth require a commitment to yourself. Whether you’re dealing with current struggles or lingering wounds, the crucial first step toward healing is cultivating self-awareness, engaging in introspection, and taking action.

I believe that positive changes can happen with you and your child by incorporating play therapy techniques with somatic, mindful and eclectic approaches that are foundationally trauma-informed.
If you are here because you are concerned with the mental health of your child, or your relationship with them, you are in the right place! I specialize in child, individual, and family therapy, identifying and working toward goals using empathy, compassion, and insight in a safe and non-judgmental environment. By using non-directive and directive play therapy activities, collaboration, promotion of healthy communication and behavior patterns, you will see a shift in your child, and your relationship as a family system.

Trauma may manifest in your life as all kinds of disruptions, such as anxiety, depression, burnout, nightmares, family conflicts, or relationship struggles.
I bring warmth, a calming presence, and touches of playfulness into our relational space of healing. If you're open, we might use some colorful scarves to set up the "stage" for your inner voice to emerge. These experiential elements are optional but may help with bringing in surprising insights. I also practice EMDR as a specialized trauma work modality.

I'm a trauma therapist that specializes in helping adults who are seemingly successful yet emotionally disconnected and detach rediscover their feelings, and heal.
You are stressed out, and overwhelmed by the fast-paced Bay Area professional hustle. Underneath you wake up with this aching feeling that "you are never good enough." You try to supress, and rationalize this feeling away by checking out, working hard, and distracting yourself from all the stress and anxiety you carry. To deal with all this you disconnect, rationalize, and analyze your feelings. Your partners compain that you are "emotionally unavailable" or "detached." Deep down you can't sit with uncertainty, or your feelings. You realized you NEED to change and need help NOW. You can no longer live like and you would like relief.

If this resonates with you, healing work around relational trauma and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder could be beneficial.
I imagine you want to feel at peace and confident but that a fear of rejection or belief that the world might end if you make a mistake gets in the way. I can help-with a client-centered and thoughtful approach; because just as the context of trauma is individual, so is the process of healing.
