I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work primarily with individual adults who are recovering from recent or past trauma, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and self-image issues, using Holistic Depth Psychotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help my clients make progress toward their goals and start feeling better. I also work with couples.
My approach to therapy is a holistic and client-centered one, where my goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for the work of healing to be done.
While I work primarily with individual adults, I also enjoy working with couples and other family groupings (siblings, parent/child, etc.), addressing a variety of issues and conditions, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, bad dreams/nightmares, divorce, and more.
