You may be caught in anxiety, stress, or repeating patterns in your relationships that feel hard to shift on your own. Or maybe you're navigating a life transition, career pressure, or a version of yourself you're trying to understand better. Either way, you're ready for something to actually change. I work with individuals, young professionals, students, parents, and children in San Francisco/Marina district, Mill Valley/Marin, and online across California and Oregon. My clients are often thoughtful, self-aware, and genuinely motivated — many are high-achieving professionals navigating burnout, work-life balance and uncertainty.
My work is integrative — blending CBT, somatic therapy, nervous system awareness, and Art Therapy. As a Certified Brainspotting therapist, I work with what talk therapy sometimes cannot reach. I have also developed SeeingMind, a transformative inquiry practice that helps clients step back from reactive thinking and find lasting clarity and resilience.
My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. With over 20 years of experience, I believe transformation happens when we look closely at our conditioning, thoughts, and feelings, and develop the capacity to step back, gain insight, and create lasting change.

Our work together will combine reflection, practical understanding, and nervous-system awareness. We'll explore how your experiences, relationships, and patterns of thinking interact, and we'll work in ways that support regulation and clarity. Therapy is not about fixing you, but about creating the conditions for insight, relief, and forward movement to emerge naturally.

My treatment combines thoughtful conversation with attention to how stress and emotion are held in the body and nervous system. Sessions are collaborative, paced, and responsive to what you need. At times we may use experiential approaches such as brainspotting alongside reflection and practical insight. The goal is meaningful change that feels steady, integrated, and sustainable.
