My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT),
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
(
AEDP
), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brainspotting, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming (EMDR), helps me customize a unique path towards healing fit for you!.
Do you feel more and more distant from your partner each time you continue to argue about the same old things without any change? In our sessions, you can expect to defuse the conflicts as we begin to understand what drives them. I specialize in providing therapy for individuals and couples who wish to make positive and lasting changes in their lives and relationships, grow and develop, for themselves and those they love. As a psychotherapist, the most important thing I can offer you is a safe, compassionate and supportive space that allows each person to feel heard and validated.

When working with individuals I use the powerful, evidence-based approach of
AEDP
(
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
).
My approach is holistic, incorporating mind, body and soul. As a therapist, I'm totally committed to your growth. I don't simply sit back and listen. Rather, I'm on the journey with you, as a companion, witness and guide, holding a safe container in which your healing can unfold. I see therapy as a lively creative process that accesses the wisdom of your body and the power of your imagination to put you back in the driving seat of your life.

The main modality I use in my work is
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
(
AEDP
) for individuals, couples and families.
I take a systemic, whole-person in-context view to my work. My approach is not one-size-fits-all, rather, we build our plan of care together in a dynamic way. Your input on how we work together and where we go with that work is a huge part of the process. I openly acknowledge the inherent power dynamic in the therapeutic relationship, and work to shift that into true relational work - we work as a team. I strive to help you discover your innate capacity to heal, to grow, and am explicit about the methods I use in session to help bring about this capacity. Consent and open dialogue is essential to our work together.

I serve those would like some relief from deep emotional pain and suffering stemming from their developmental traumas and/or shock traumas. I journey with those who want to thrive and experience joy instead of living day to day to survive. I also assist those who have had years of therapy and feel like they somehow still carry the past traumatic memories and pain that seem to persist. I would also welcome therapists who want to experience receiving therapy in certain modalities and/or those who want the integration of multiple modalities.

My area of focus is
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
, a non-pathologizing, healing-oriented treatment modality.
Maybe you are stuck in patterns that do not serve you. Maybe experiences and relationships that should give you pleasure leave you wanting. Or find yourself ruminating about the past or worrying about the future rather than living expansively, now. While many people can identify "the problem": alcohol and drugs; the death of a loved one; the end of a marriage, etc. Sometimes our inability to live fully confuses us. Together we can look at what is getting in the way. As a guide and companion I can help you heal past wounds and open to the joy and possibilities your life has to offer.

In addition to the developmental, somatic relational work that is my primary orientation, I am also trained in
AEDP
, EMDR , and several trauma modalities.
I'd love to help you become the best of yourself. Together we create a safe space to expand the resources you already have to create change. Our focus is on the present day challenges reflecting earlier disruptions. We update old patterns of behavior to ground you in today's possibilities for greater satisfaction. My experience as a somatic therapist can help you to recognize the resources that already exist in your body. People I work with often suffer from relationship problems, low self esteem, shame, anxiety, depression, PTSD. I enjoy being fully present with you so you can be fully present with yourself.

I use specific styles of therapy, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
(

If you are looking to connect with yourself and others more deeply and feel confident in the decisions you make in your life, then I’m here to come along side and help you reach those goals. My approach to the therapy process is collaborative so that together we can work to accomplish your goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low mood, past trauma, relationship issues, or a life transition, we can work together to uncover underlying emotions that have been buried by protective mechanisms and navigate the blind spots so that you can gain clarity and calmness in your self and in your relationships.

I am integrative and experiential in my approach, drawing on my training in trauma informed treatments (such as
AEDP
and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), as well as mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and transpersonal modalities.
Have you ever felt like you talk about a painful issue over and over but nothing changes? Are you ready to start your journey to real transformation? Therapy helps us shift underlying patterns that cause distress, heal from past wounds, and mobilize inner strengths, so that we experience greater freedom and fulfillment. For 20 years, I’ve helped clients heal and grow, and cultivate lives of meaning and joy. I offer a holistic approach to counseling, which means I draw on multiple healing modalities, and support you in feeling healthy in all ways. I love this work, and am dedicated to helping you create lasting positive change.

I practice from a Depth Psychology and psychodynamic orientation, and bring my training and experience in
AEDP
, the Enneagram, mindfulness + inquiry, shadow work, various somatic (body-based) practices, attachment theory, addiction recovery, and healing shame, as well as my multicultural and professional experiences, to inform my work with my clients.
I work from a trauma-informed, relational space of deep listening, in an open, accepting, and non-shaming manner—welcoming of all that you bring to our session. I believe that each human being is perfectly imperfect. I hold a deep curiosity for my clients’ inner worlds and an ability to hold space for difficult material without shame or judgment, seeing the patterns my clients’ stories, beliefs, and feelings weave and sharing those insights and reflections in our process. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I work with adolescents, young adults, and their families, and see adults individually and in group settings.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
