We are all learning to become human; no easy task. As anxiety has become the new normal, it can be challenging to live in a human body and experience all the intensity; sometimes we need some extra support. Somatic therapy works with befriending your body in its wholeness (mind, body, spirit). I support you in tracking ALIVENESS & empower in your full expression. Along the way, I teach skills that strengthen your capacity to work with difficult emotions, the inner critic, & habitual impulses while staying connected to the present moment.

Empowering Change coaching & counseling services meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go. We focus on the core issues that bring you here today. 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.

My passion is helping folx live with embodied presence, vitality, care, & agency. As a Queer &/or BIPOC person you may have lived experience of trauma, loss, oppression, & marginalization. You may feel like your body is turning against you or that you have to mask parts of yourself to survive. No wonder relationships can be hard. When you're already working so hard to feel safe in your body the world can feel too much. It need not be this way. Your body can be your home, your way back to ground & center, a rich flowing wellspring of ancestral knowing that deepens your connection with yourself, earth, eros, others, & the world.

My practice is guided by a belief in the healing power of being with. I bring compassionate witness and a warm, collaborative, relational approach that is informed by psychodynamic, somatic, feminist, narrative, attachment, and trauma theories. A deep commitment to social justice, and attunement to the impacts of social and systemic oppression, grounds my work.

I help folks dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic health problems, and relationship issues of all kinds. My clients tend to be creative, philosophical, or intellectual people, and often (like myself) were raised in more than one culture. While what brings people to therapy is usually a stressful event or persistent problem, beyond just helping to relieve their suffering in the short term, my hope is that they discover through our work a lasting satisfaction that comes from taking the time to review their lives carefully and understand themselves more deeply.

I enjoy working with individuals interested and committed to discovering their own inherent capacity to live a more embodied, present, and expressive life. I am passionate about helping those who are struggling with a major life transition or have experienced trauma/loss regain a sense of well-being and ease in their life and personal relationships. My approach to healing is fundamentally relational and holistic, drawing heavily on mindfulness-based, somatic, and creative expression techniques. I interweave neurophysiological, transpersonal, and attachment based frameworks that allow for both solution-focused and depth work.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I know that symptoms such as anxiety, depression, addiction and phobias are often expressions of unresolved grief and trauma. I support my clients to look at themselves and their relationships with honesty and love in order to create more freedom and connection in their lives. I believe that by bringing compassion, awareness, and just enough humor, we can engage our inner wisdom to shift patterns that have become stuck in our bodies and consciousness. I have specific training in serving LGBTQ+ communities, and am a trans-affirming therapist.

It is a truly an exciting time to have the privilege of working with people in family therapy. In the last decade, advances made in understanding the connection of mind, body and spirit give us wonderful tools for building satisfying relationships with ourselves and others.

From this ground, we work, at your pace, with whatever issues unfold. In our work together, you will increase your awareness and authenticity.

Welcome. If you are looking for guidance and support finding balance, more joy, and less emotional stress, I can help. For many of us, it is difficult to prioritize our own needs; we care for everyone else, and not ourselves. If you are feeling ready to dive in and move on from old patterns, let's work together. I support my clients to work through blind spots, shift limiting beliefs, and live to their full potential- hopefully we will even have some fun along the way. My style is warm, trauma-informed, and goal-oriented. I bring 15+ years of experience as a therapist with diverse folks around the Bay Area.

I have been working in Sonoma County with teens, adults, partners, and families for over 20 years and have recently joined the Quest Family Therapy team. With a collaborative and playful approach, I strive to support people to live more authentic lives and find their way to the change they are seeking, whether it is improving their mood, deepening their connection with themselves and loved ones, or finding and expressing their authentic selves. My work is strongly rooted in attachment theory, depth psychology, mindfulness, and somatic practices.

Clients who gravitate toward me as a therapist tend to share a desire to know themselves with greater depth and kindness. I offer the opportunity to make connections between what has happened in the past and the impact on the present, while also consistently highlighting strengths and what is working well. It is my pleasure to work collaboratively, whether with individuals, families, or couples.

Life was never meant to be fair - just ask the wildness of nature. Life is filled with joy and sadness; love and grief. This is part of being human. How do we find purpose and meaning in life? We're born with a unique gift; we're wounded by life. Our core wound lies beside our unique gift, our purpose. Our responsibility is to give this gift to our family, friends, community. This underlies all of my work with you as we peel back the layers: what is it you bring to us? It lies beside your deepest pain, regret, what frightens you the most. Our work together is to change your relationship to that wound so you can give your gift.
