Are you feeling stuck? I will ask the questions that lead you towards getting unstuck, whether it's anxiety, relationships, addiction, or trauma. Clients often tell me that my questions help them discover their deeper needs and fears, enabling them to start making a path towards the life they want to live. I find an artful balance between process and helping you take action. I am authentic, provide feedback, and consider myself an engaged thought partner in your process. I am not just a therapist who sits back and listens; I actively participate in your journey towards change.
I am an EMDR certified therapist with extensive training in attachment related trauma, significant life changes, addiction, relationships, and complex family upbringings. I have a long standing career serving the bay area's global community, which has prepared me to work with culturally complex communities and individuals.
It’s hard to reach out when you are feeling bad. I am here to help you reconnect or discover a more fulling life path forward. I offer a free 20 minute consultation to explore your goals and determine if we can move forward. I also offer a referral to my diverse colleague network if it appears appropriate.
