Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist # 102875 |
I believe that our moments of deepest pain and discomfort also contain within them reserves of untapped power.
I'm a Depth Psychotherapist, working from a Jungian, Attachment and Somatic Perspective. I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I completed three years of advanced training at the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco as well as a two-year post graduate training program in Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley. Profound change is possible in a relationship built on trust. I create a warm and affirming space for people of color, the LGBTQ community, and invite explorations from all of my clients of how sociocultural identity affects our felt sense of the world.

Theoretical Orientation
Jungian Analytic Psychology
Developed by Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, this modality draws on dreamwork, archetypes, and attention to one's inner life to catalyze the process of individuation. It is a critical tool in developing a relationship between our conscious and unconscious processes.
Contemporary Relational/ Psychodynamic
Relationship blueprints from the past impact our current relationships and our sense of self-worth. A relational approach gives special importance to the client therapist relationship, utilizing it as an opportunity for a corrective emotional experience.
Somatic Psychotherapy
A body-sensitive approach proceeds from the understanding that past trauma will be encoded in present psychological states such as breath, gesture, muscular tension, digestive issues, and headaches. By incorporating awareness of the body, we work with emotions at a far deeper level than insight alone.
Attachment Theory
The quality of our early relationships shapes our brains, our nervous systems, and our degree of emotional resilience. Attachment theory looks at how we bond, find a senses of security and navigate getting our needs met in relationships. Our work in therapy will gradually help you build more secure attachments.
