I use a heart-centered approach to facilitate a sense of freedom and compassion for all that is inside you. I'm a Level 3 Internal Family Systems practitioner and I’m also a Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at University of California San Francisco where I'm the co-Director of the UCSF Center on IFS. IFS is a method for going inward and getting to know and welcome all parts of you. We all have a creative power within us that knows how to heal and that cannot be damaged. In my work, I help you connect with that power inside yourself.
I offer in person therapy in San Francisco and online throughout California, supervised by Chelsea Owens, LMFT 100077. I specialize in issues of relationships, anxiety, career, shame, trauma, parenting, and grief. I affirm all different racial, gender, and sex identities.
I have experience providing relationship therapy for monogamous, ethically nonmonogamous, and polyamorous couples.
I also offer 2-hour intensive IFS sessions to deepen into knowing and healing parts that have difficulty being approached in the standard one hour of psychotherapy.
