Approach:
I integrate Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support you in processing trauma and cultivating more secure, fulfilling relationships. My approach is grounded in a social justice lens, recognizing the profound impact of socio-cultural factors on our lived experiences. Together, we’ll explore your relationships with caregivers, romantic partners, and others to better understand and discuss your attachment needs.
“We can do hard things. ”
Who I help:
I work with teens (12+), adults, and couples to strengthen relationships, heal from trauma, and break free from patterns that no longer serve them.
How I help:
My approach blends warmth, humor, and curiosity to help you feel at ease and reconnect with the resources you already have. In our time together, we’ll uncover patterns that may no longer be serving you and help you reconnect with what brings you the most fulfillment and joy.
Healing from trauma is not linear. It takes time, patience, and care. I offer psychoeducation on trauma, incorporate somatic grounding exercises, and draw from trauma-informed therapies to support your healing journey.
What my clients say about working with me:
My clients have told me that I am warm, “real”, and non-judgemental. I have been told that I am easy to open up to and help my clients feel grounded and supported. Many of my clients have reported achieving a deeper level of insight through our sessions.
Off the clock:
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy running, practicing yoga, reading, and spending time with my cats. I’m also involved in activism and love exploring the beautiful, diverse neighborhoods of San Francisco.
