Info, Appointments & Pricing

I offer a warm and nurturing environment to support you in moving forward.

Somatic therapy is a body-oriented therapy that focuses attention on bodily sensations through breath and movement. As your experience is held and witnessed with deep attunement, patterns of tension can be felt and released.

My approach includes talking as well as somatic and experiential techniques to create a safe space for your process to unfold. I offer support and guidance for you to develop a comfort and a relationship with your inner knowing so that you can access more vitality and joy in your daily life. 

Using a strengths-based, psychodynamic approach, I incorporate somatic awareness practices that greatly benefit nervous system regulation. This involves standing and seated practices, breath work, and mindfulness practices. I work with individuals, adolescents and couples, utilizing my training in trauma-informed techniques as well as offering culturally responsive care. This means I prioritize transparency, humility, inclusivity, and the honoring of difference when it comes to race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.

Therapy for Teens

Navigating the often rocky terrain of adolescence has never been easy.

I offer a non-judgemental listening presence to support teens and the specific challenges they face. I truly appreciate this tender phase of life as teens are figuring out their truth, clarifying values, and discovering how to relate to others. I have two years of experience working in the high school environment, which gave me a unique perspective on the challenges facing adolescents today and I bring that patience and understanding to the therapeutic relationship.

Support for Parenting Teens

Are you a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) parenting a teen?

Maybe you were very close to your teen when they were children and now you feel you barely recognize them. You are not alone and there are ways of being that can restore your connection with your teen, even as they grow and individuate, a process that is vital for their growth as well as yours.

The truth is, parenting a teen requires a whole different skill set from parenting young children, although the practice of minding the gap between reaction and response is still essential! For the highly sensitive person, not taking things personally might seem like an impossible feat. Allow me to guide you in the process of learning skills to relate to your teen while setting firm and loving boundaries.

Take the time to experience the grief you may feel in letting go of your teen’s childhood self. As you let go, there is more space to inhabit loving presence, celebrate possibility, and embrace who you are both becoming. 

Virtual Therapy

Due to current CDC guidelines related to COVID-19, all therapy sessions will be conducted virtually. Virtual therapy (often referred to as tele-health, tele-therapy, or online therapy) is an offering in which we meet remotely through video instead of in person.

Is Virtual Therapy Right For Me?

There are many benefits to online therapy! Here are some reasons it could be a good fit for you:

• Your commute or busy schedule makes it challenging to come to therapy in person.

• Frequent work travel, or an inconsistent work schedule, makes in-person therapy hard to maintain.

• Managing physical disability, chronic pain, chronic illness or any physical limitation makes travel difficult.

• You feel more comfortable in your home than in a therapy office.

• You are a new parent or have a difficult time finding childcare.

• You have reliable access to high-speed internet.

• You have a quiet and confidential space for the therapy session.

• You are moving to a different part of California and want to continue to work with me.

• You live in an area in California with limited options for psychotherapy or somatic therapy.

Reasons in-person therapy might be a better fit:

• You have a difficult time connecting and concentrating when communicating virtually.

• You are dealing with a current or active crisis.

• You are actively suicidal.

• You don’t have a quiet and confidential space for therapy.

• You have unreliable internet.

• You have a diagnosis that requires a greater level of support.

Please contact me to inquire about virtual therapy. I will be moving to in person therapy as soon as it is safe to do so. Please let me know if you have any questions.
