Psychosis Therapists in 98102

Life can present us with challenges that leave us feeling broken, powerless, and vulnerable. These emotions can be overwhelming, but they don't have to define your story. I specialize in evidence-based treatment for those dealing with psychosis, trauma, and mood disorders. In our sessions, we'll work together to understand and navigate the complexities of these experiences, thoughts, and emotions, and find your path to healing and recovery.

I hold a deep regard and compassion for each individual and the ways they have learned to survive. I view therapy as a collaborative journey towards integration of self and expansion of the potentials already inherent in you. In line with this, I aim for our work together to be as liberatory as possible. I see you as the expert of your own story and as holding the potential for your own healing. In our time together we can work to uncover what gets in the way of your inherent ability to flourish, be it internal, relational or rooted in the social environment in which we exist.

Life can be a real struggle especially when we are out of balance or out of alignment with our own values, passions, and goals. Many folks I work with struggle to prioritize their own needs and desires, may be disconnected from what they those even are. Whether through childhood or relational trauma, internalized habits of masking neurodivergence or marginalized identities, or a deeply compassionate nature, the cost of this often burnout, depression, anxiety, and disconnection.

I offer psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to adults, children and teens. I am open to working with a range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, trauma and emotional regulation. I work with individuals seeking help with transient difficulties as well as those wanting to address more longstanding problems. My role as a therapist includes helping patients: deepen their awareness of their emotional lives; get in touch with aspects of themselves that they are out of touch with; foster the integration of varied aspects of themselves; establish and maintain healthy and satisfying relationships.

I am looking forward to meeting you! I obtained my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium program in Palo Alto, CA.

I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan, from adolescents to older adults.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, self esteem, SUD, and struggles related to life transitions. I help clients find the solid ground they need to support forward movement and a more positive trajectory. I begin by working with clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves to arm them with the knowledge necessary to address their problems and make changes necessary to develop more adaptive coping strategies and improve the quality of their lives. I am non-judgmental and work to create a space in which clients can freely explore, uncover, and accept themselves more fully to live fuller, more meaningful lives.

Do you get thrown off center easily? Are you noticing patterns in your life you’d like to change, or experiencing despair, shame, or anxiety about who you are and what your life looks and feels like? We are shaped by the world around us, influenced by our experiences and relationships with not only other people, but with animals, plants, places, and all of the nonhuman world. We all experience pain and weather grief and loss, sometimes in hidden or unacknowledged ways. Therapy can be used to bring conscious awareness to elements in our lives which impact or limit us.
