As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups, offering perspective and support through challenging times. I am passionate about healing, self growth, and living your fullest life both personally and in relationship. My specializations include somatic psychotherapy, bringing the wisdom of the body to our psycho-emotional spiritual journeys, and working with couples to strengthen and maximize their relationship's happiness and success. I want to know your story and to support you through whatever is happening. Welcome to my practice.
Therapy invites you to look at what is happening in your life, it's complexities and challenges, providing support in developing new strategies and ways of being in the world. Life is hard, and there are a lot of ways we are pushed beyond what we feel we can handle. Therapy offers support in those places. Inviting you to share your experience and then together, looking at the possibilities and choices, even when it feels like there are not many. First we give space for emotion, and practice being with emotion and then see what comes next.
I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. Whatever you are struggling with is deserving of support and I hope you can get the support you need.
I am dedicated to working with couples to improve their relationship, developing better communication, understanding, and appreciation of each other.
I graduated John F. Kennedy University in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and an emphasis in Somatic Psychotherapy, bringing the wisdom and awareness of the body to help facilitate healing, and invite the release of trauma.
I specialize in couples therapy, working with couples towards acceptance and being able to really see and know their partner, the good and the challenging. My approach is rooted in the Gottman Method, developing skills that make for a happy and satisfying relationship, rich in friendship, trust, safety, and intimacy.
This work is my life's passion, I am committed to supporting you in your goals.
Are you struggling to overcome something that is challenging your sense of wellbeing, hope, and aliveness in the world. Therapy is a place to look at what is holding you back. Whether it is earlier experiences or current challenges in your life, together we invite and explore what is, while building new resources to support your growth and healing.
Whether you are new to the therapeutic process and are looking for a supportive place to explore self inquiry and expand self awareness, or you are continuing on your journey of healing and self work, I look forward to journeying with you in a safe and supported way.
Whether you are in need of a relationship 'tune-up' or are struggling with more acute relationship distress, couples therapy offers clear and directed support. Skills include rekindling friendship and intimacy, increasing rituals of connection and communication, and the tools needed to manage conflict well.
I am also an approved member of the Gottman Relationship Check-Up, an online couples assessment questionnaire that helps identify areas of strength and highlights areas that would benefit from therapy, learning new successful ways of relating to one another in the relationship and deepening connection and intimacy.
Group offers a unique opportunity of support and community. Members are invited to engage with others in authenticity and vulnerability in a safe, supported space. Explore how you show up in relationship, engage with feedback, and how you give and take in community. Group is a wonderful addition to individual psychotherapy or couples work.
