Have you been feeling like you need some extra support lately? Do you feel like you have traumas from your past that you'd like to address? I specialize in EMDR and somatic therapies which can provide resolution and relief. Imagine a therapeutic experience where you can take a break from your everyday life and enter into a warm and supportive environment. I will listen to your stories with enthusiasm and compassion. As we identify patterns and begin to heal old wounds, we’ll work to reignite your life force energy.
In my practice I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Yoga Therapy, Dreamwork, Breath Work, Guided Meditations, Somatic Trauma Healing, and Psychedelic Integration. I hold an MA in Consciousness/Spirituality, and I’m earning a PhD in Jungian Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.
A typical counseling session is framed around the issues you bring to therapy. We’ll explore various themes from your life and develop insight around the ways that traumas and attachments may create challenges in the present. I honor the courage it takes to make the next step. I look forward to meeting you. (Accepts OHP, PacificSource, Cash)

I help clients overcome past traumas as well as anxiety and depression. I use a Jungian/Somatic/EMDR framework which allows us to understand the flow of energy and emotion in your body. Many clients begin to have powerful dreams after beginning this kind of psychotherapy which we can then work on together in session to develop a stronger relationship with your unconscious/psyche.
