Here we are.

Therapy for right now, right here.
It’s easy to feel lost in our own lives. We are regularly urged to ignore or push away key parts of ourselves in order to be - or do - what seems required, making it harder and harder to connect to how we are really feeling …and why.
I offer therapy to re-integrate these key parts of you, so that you can address the challenges that you are up against with more self-understanding and insight; with your whole self. Here we are, so let’s dig in.
Services
Individual Therapy
I approach individuals by listening to and learning about how you are experiencing yourself and your life.
I offer collaboration in connecting you to your strengths, developing tools and coping skills for addressing your challenges, and using your creativity and self-knowledge to design sustainable healing and growth habits. I also support you in gaining deeper insight into how the details of your life have developed, and how they may reflect traumas, survival behaviors, or societal expectations that you have inherited and are living with.
Relationship/Couples Therapy
To me, relationships are at the core of who we are. Whether it is family, friends, colleagues, or romantic partners, the ways that we understand ourselves through relating to others is complex (though sometimes oddly simple), important, and utterly worth it.
I help those in couples and other relationships to identify the patterns, triggers, and unmet needs that are making things difficult, and work to reconnect you to your aligned sense of purpose and place within (or outside of) the relationship.
About me …and how I work
I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space where you really can bring any version of yourself; where we start from exactly where you are.
As a therapist, I have supported individuals and couples through all stages of life. In addition to working with many versions of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm, I have worked with people experiencing self-harm, disordered eating, suicidal thoughts, survivors of abuse, family and partners of people struggling with addiction, and a number of other forms of acute and ongoing grief and trauma.
I use a diverse tool belt of approaches: Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, Experiential and Creative Therapies, Somatic Awareness and Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapies. Most importantly though, I use the tool of being truly with you: I will be right there listening, collaborating, guiding, nudging, and offering ideas and reflections for your process of coming back to yourself.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Sonoma State University, and a Master of Arts In Human Sexuality Studies from San Francisco State University.
I do this work because I fully believe that a strong therapeutic relationship can be an incredibly potent tool for cultivating your growth and healing. I'm here to build this with you.

*I do offer a a number of low-income/sliding scale spots in my practice ($75, $95 for individuals and $120, $140 for couples). I reserve these spots for working class people, people struggling to make ends meet, and especially artists who are surviving project-to-project. When clients are able to pay full fee, it increases the availability of my services to those with fewer economic resources.
