I am an integrative therapist, using a holistic model and techniques from somatic, relational, inter-subjective, and transpersonal psychology, as well as techniques from my own long-standing spiritual practices, such as drumming, chanting and Vipassana Buddhist meditation practice. I got my masters in Psychology with a Somatic Concentration from JFK, Orinda, CA in 1997. As LGBTQIA identified and a Pacific Islander, I know that both trauma and healing can come from our individual and cultural histories. I welcome anyone seeking growth or healing and I'm committed to healing within marginalized communities. My areas of specialty include people with histories of trauma and/or addiction, people looking to integrate spiritual experiences, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community.
In the safety of the therapy relationship we explore cycles and patterns you want to change. Together we create a supportive place for you to reconnect with your innate healing intelligence, your creativity, your compassion, your sense of aliveness and spirituality. There is no one way to heal and grow, so we can use therapy techniques such as somatic awareness, mindfulness, deep listening, exploring connections between current struggles and past experiences. We can also explore a holistic model and transpersonal experiences such as, meditation, chanting, and/or your own spiritual practice.
What is too much if you are alone or cut off, can be seen and moved through if you have an embodied awareness and connection to a compassion and understanding both within and beyond yourself. This awareness of connection allows you to be more fully present and alive to all aspects of your experience and thus has the potential to reshape your world and self view. Together we work to create a safe space where your innate healing intelligence can move you toward healing, without becoming flooded and having to shut down to manage uncomfortable feeling states inside your body, mind and heart.
