You are unique, and therapy should be, too. You might be dealing with a situation that's upended your life or dealing with painful memories of the past. You might have experiences or an identity that aren't common within mainstream culture. You want to grow in your relationship with yourself and those around you. I’m a Certified EMDR therapist who integrates Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy to help you tap into your strengths while navigating the rough roads in life.
I’m immersed in Bay Area subcultures that value creativity and inclusiveness while honoring differences. I’ve spent many years as a trauma therapist in programs that support unique identities and experiences. I operate from an anti-oppression framework so people can bring themselves fully into an affirming space of self-discovery.
Call me for a 15 minute consultation to see how I can support your path of healing and self-discovery.
