About My Clients
Do you want to get to know a more authentic version of yourself? I work with people from all walks of life, and can help with issues around anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, attachment, and relationships. I've had the honor of working with individuals, couples, kids, and families since 2012. I have a deep understanding of issues that arise around adoption, foster care, kinship care, and guardianship. I use a holistic and collaborative approach to facilitating healing.
My Background and Approach
I am an LMFT licensed in California and Texas. I graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2013. I use a relational style and a combination of evidence-based, trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral (or "talk") therapy, expressive arts, somatic approaches, internal family systems (or "parts work"), and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques to connect you with your body, mind, and spirit. My approach is client-centered and trauma informed, using a psychodynamic lens to track where issues may appear in the family system. I weave in the language and practice of ecotherapy, because nature has its own way of re-setting us and helping us to feel more grounded in our bodies and nervous systems. When working with children, I use a holistic, developmentally appropriate, child-centered approach. I incorporate trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy ( TF-CBT), expressive arts, and somatics in order to work with adolescents and teens.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My practice integrates a mind, body, spirit approach to healing. I find that a felt sense of safety and a regulated nervous system is inherent to the process, and that when we feel safe and seen, we are able to discover and understand things about ourselves we might not have thought possible, yet. I became a therapist because I delight in seeing how people express themselves! I'm a lifelong artist who uses multiple media to express myself-painting, dance, music, play. Whatever your medium, expressing oneself in an authentic way, while navigating your life, is healing. Let's see what lights you up!
