About My Clients

My clients feel disconnected from their inner world or struggle with understanding the interplay of the different "parts" within their psyche. They may be drawn to creative, somatic, and depth-oriented work.

My Background and Approach

I draw on my extensive background in teaching both Trauma and Group Dynamics at the California Institute of Integral Studies to enhance my therapeutic practice. My experience teaching Trauma has provided me with a deep understanding of how profound, distressing experiences can lead to various forms of dissociation, from mild detachment to total disconnection from the self or world. Simultaneously, my work with Group Dynamics has equipped me with insights into the intricate ways parts within any system—including the psyche—interact and affect each other. This comprehensive perspective allows me to help clients not only identify and address the roots of their disconnection but also to understand and harmonize the different aspects of their identities. This integrated approach fosters deeper self-awareness and more coherent internal and external relationships, empowering clients to live more fully connected lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I bring a depth-oriented, compassionate approach to therapy, grounded in my belief in the power of authentic connection and self-discovery. As someone deeply invested in equity and inclusion, I strive to create a space where diverse identities and experiences are honored. My work is informed by my background in somatic and depth psychology, and my commitment to holistic healing. I value collaboration and believe in empowering clients to access their inner wisdom. I draw on my own continuous journey of growth and self-reflection. Therapy with me offers a space for exploration, curiosity, and integration, where you can deepen self-awareness, transform pain, and live in greater alignment with with your values and truth.
