Teletherapy for California

I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, blending western and eastern healing practices, evidence based approaches, and trauma informed care. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I will collaborate with you, explore past experiences that have shaped who you are today, and figure out what's keeping you from living the life you want. This isn't always an easy process. It takes courage and hard work, but the rewards are great. I provide an environment that is curious, empathetic, supportive, and down to Earth. I'll help you discover your strengths and become more in-tune with your emotions. You can do this!

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

You are doing the best you can. If you could snap your fingers and stop the obsessive thoughts and worries you would, right? If could make yourself quit retelling negatives stories about yourself and your life, stop feeling depressed, you would have already. The truth is life is as challenging as it is remarkable and respecting how trauma, stress, neglect, or illness are showing up in your body and experience is paramount to healing. Trauma can show up as patterns of protection that keep us stuck in feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, hopelessness, and fear. And keep us from enjoying secure and loving relationships with others.

I help my clients explore not only their thoughts and emotions, but also the physical sensations, postures, and gestures that come with them. This is important because tuning into your body can help you understand your feelings, thoughts, and life experiences more deeply. This understanding can support you in being the person you want to be and creating the life you want to have. Our work together can include therapeutic touch which can be profoundly healing because it enables us to get to the root of the issue by connecting directly w/the body which is where our stress & trauma our stored.

I love discovering the emerging potential of my clients, and supporting their unique personal development and evolution. I'm experienced working with highly sensitive individuals, and those who self-identify as having a history of trauma. Adults who are self-motivated, and those who have or desire a mind-body-spirit practice, are a good fit for the support I provide. I adapt to the needs of children and adults alike. I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to unlock our greater creativity and feelings of interconnectivity and trust, so that my clients can thrive in the web of life.

When we work together, you will see that I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process between us. Our shared process provides customized approaches to help you thrive, collaborating with each individual to 1. Gain keys and guidance to move through challenges. 2. Resolve internal conflict by taking ownership of your inner world. 3. Focus on your purpose so you can make an impact. 4. Realize your unique vision for your life.

We all have deep inner wisdom that we can access to improve our lives. As a depth-oriented Marriage and Family Therapist, yoga therapist and EMDR-trained therapist, I consider all aspects of a person’s whole being and life to incorporate somatic -based therapies and interventions. In the therapeutic process, I aim to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves through an inner journey that we take together. I love supporting individuals and groups through change, loss, transition, and transformation. Breaking past limited thoughts one may have improved on themselves.

"When we are caught in our mind we cannot feel our own beingness" I am dedicated to working with individuals, families and young adults who are experiencing a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Through client-centered sessions I offer a practice that deeply focuses on a myriad of issues including, anxiety, PTSD, depression, trauma, challenges with transitions in life stages, as well as finding purpose and searching for greater meaning and happiness. I seek to provide a space that is safe and supportive, where one can connect to and experience their deepest self, be listened to and validated.

As an inclusive and affirming clinician, I partner with clients to identify strengths and address barriers to achieving their goals and develop a path towards healing and overall wellness. I work with individuals and couples of every gender expression and sexual orientation who are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress. I am passionate about social justice and incorporate an anti-oppression and PIC abolitionist lens into my work, particularly in supporting Black, Indigenous, & people of color and LGBTQIA+ folks with issues of identity, racial trauma, difficult life transitions, parenting, and interpersonal struggles.

I work with individuals and couples, offering in person or video sessions and specializing in issues of depression, anxiety, and relationship. I believe that we all have the capacity to feel more alive, and achieve our creative potentials. An important part of fostering growth is building trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship, so I place a focus on this as a foundation for our work together. From there, I will support you in working toward goals that we co-create, and can help you to feel a sense of purpose, connection, and freedom in your life.
