“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” (Anais Nin). Gain clarity, make connections, and create opportunities for transformative change in a safe, warm, informed space that is both curious and understanding. Drawing resonance from theory and research, to philosophy and the arts, to deepen awareness and inform actual change. We trace paths to process the stuck zones and liberate insights that’ll reveal unmet needs and steps ahead. Whether it’s work, relationships, or a general sense of being through shifting times, we can sort things out and find a better way.
Specializing in: complex trauma, abuse, PTSD; grief and loss; role transitions and life adjustments; relationships and communication; neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism diagnostic evaluations); and the impact of systemic oppression across work, relationships, identity, and self-care. Approach is intersectional, reflective, and affirming.
Finding a therapist you connect with is everything. Especially when life brings uncertainty, injustice, or loss. Maybe something has rattled your world or dimmed your spark. Perhaps you’ve gotten therapy or a diagnosis that didn’t fully get it. Or you’ve simply felt stuck and isolated far too long. Tell me about it. Book a chat online or text 650-382-3633.

Underlying diagnosis and concerns are assessed to trace origins and identify unmet needs that become stuck points. Psychoeducation is offered as we map the biopsychosocial impact on the development of your mood, identity, and functioning. Through this process we realize tools for new routes, as we deepen our understanding of how things came to be, and what has been kept from becoming.
