Having had the privilege of working as a therapist in the bay area for the past 23 years, I have witnessed the detrimental effects of chronic stress that too many individuals and families experience today. The current state of the world has many feeling overwhelmed. Let me provide you with the support & the tools needed to heal and get your lives back on track. These are stressful times; remember you don't need to do this alone, support is here for you.
I provide a secure environment for the healing work needed to recover from trauma & loss. I will help you safely break the cycle that too many individuals & families are stuck in; you get to choose to be happy & healthy. The alternative happens too often, with trauma victims acting out, isolating or falling into addiction & recreating the cycle of trauma.
Having the courage to do the healing work is challenging. Trauma survivors are often hyper-independent as a trauma response, putting themselves last, often feeling shame, minimizing their feelings and their pain. Be kind with yourself, & remember all of us deserve help & support. Sliding scale available, as needed.

Too often trauma victims fall into maladaptive coping which causes further harm, self-blame and feelings of helplessness. I will work with you to identify your goals and needs, prioritizing trust and safety. My goal is to empower you and give you the tools you need to heal & move forward in your life as a survivor rather than as a victim.
