About My Clients

Perhaps you are feeling worn down, stuck, and disconnected. You are working hard to create the life you want but you feel as though something is holding you back. I specialize in working with high performers & caregivers of all sorts (parents, mil-spouses, medical professionals-including therapists, teachers, etc) who have lost connection with themselves. Together we will help you reconnect to who you are so that you can care for yourself while still bringing your light and caring to the world!

My Background and Approach

Our lives are shaped by the beliefs we hold: beliefs about ourselves, about the world, about our relationships. But what if your beliefs are not in service to your well-being? I practice a unique style of psychotherapy called "Depth Psychology." I work with the premise that often the most powerful and enduring change comes from a deeper understanding of our core beliefs and how they fuel our symptoms (such as anxiety, chronic pain, or depression). What better place to increase your understanding of yourself than in therapy? Together we can uncover underlying meaning behind your suffering and create new patterns that support a compassionate, safe, and genuine existence. Therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist with room for your intuition and mine. Together we work to break you free from constricting old patterns and belief structures and into more creative and fulfilling lives. I have specialized training in trauma, Brainspotting, somatic & creative modalities.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I live and work from the values of respect, kindness, and integrity. My time and energy goes into caring for the earth and its inhabitants. I frequently connect what my clients are experiencing in their own lives to the collective experience because I believe we exist within systems, community and the collective unconscious so often our experiences, while personal, are also interconnected to the world around us. I think it is important to find balance in life. In therapy I often balance deep and vulnerable work with connection and humor. We don't have to take ourselves too seriously even as we explore our internal blueprint and shift wounded patterns. I have experience living aboard and offer therapy in Spanish as well as English.
