Let's Connect (707) 368-4136
My style is collaborative, compassionate and non formulaic. Together, we decide what the issues are and how to tackle them. A special focus of my practice is with creative's and culturally diverse people. Besides teaching clients new skills to overcome their feelings of depression, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem, I am also trained as a master career coach and can help you find greater meaning in your career choices or achieve success in your job search or in improving your work relationships.
Foundational to my work is the belief in people's inner wisdom and their ability, with guidance, to find the answers to their deepest questions. Apart from thearapuetic tools, the cultivation of mindfulness can help clients achieve more skillful communication, purposeful life choices and healing from childhood loneliness, trauma or neglect.
I invite you to reach out to me if this seems like the right time to wrestle with a big transition in your life, to recover parts of your true nature or to create positive new patterns and relationships including with yourself. Lets have a brief conversation to determine whether you feel it's a good fit for your needs and for creating a better life.
