Are you stuck in emotional pain, numbed out, or in an unsatisfying relationship? We all learn patterns of relating to ourselves, others, and the world that may no longer work. This can show up as relationship conflict or distance, depression, anxiety, grief, emptiness, confusion, or a lack of direction and meaning. You want more joy, ease and satisfying relationships, with greater confidence and ability to ride the waves of life. Through courageous exploration, connection, healing and behavioral work, we nurture your powerful, true Self from which you are able to live your best life and contribute your unique gifts.
I help bring lesser known aspects of you into connection for healing and integration. This shift in relating gets at the root of problems, alleviates symptoms, and frees up energy for growth. Working with body, mind, emotion, behaviors I specialize in BIPOC, LGBTQI+ and Relationship work. I affirm gender, neurodiversity, sexuality, race and social justice.
First, we explore your concerns, history, and outcomes you desire. Then, we come up with an initial plan for meeting your goals. Throughout, we work together in partnership, establishing a relationship in which you feel safe, seen, heard, and encouraged to grow. I invite you to contact me and see if we might be a good fit for working together. Aloha.

Relationships: I lead clients to join through the truth, as we heal wounds, break the impasse, and learn new dance steps, allowing for deeper intimacy. Individuals: we look at who you are and how you got to be you. Then we develop and implement a strengths based plan to move to where you want to be. We evaluate along the way, making tweaks as needed. Most feel better within 5 sessions.

"
I assess your needs and together we decide the type of therapy that best suits you. In MB-CBT, you learn to be in the present moment, less in the painful past or anxious future. With IFS, Attachment, and Sensorimotor, we work with the body mind for guidance and healing. In relationship therapy, we identify and interrupt destructive interaction patterns in session, and learn better ones.
