LMFT and Holistic Psychotherapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area

 

hi & welcome.

i’m so glad you’re here.

Healing is innate within everyone. And I truly believe —with every bit of me— that you hold the inner wisdom to know how to heal. As you’re reading this, it might feel near impossible to believe that. And that is so okay. I will hold this vision for you until you discover it to be true. It is my honor and sincerest privilege to gently guide you towards uncovering and embracing that wisdom. I see myself as a loving companion on your journey back to wholeness—walking alongside you as you reconnect with your true self. There is a light within you, a source of strength and vitality, that is always present, even during the darkest times. My intention is to help you access, nurture, and honor that light, allowing it to grow and shine brighter.

Adults ~

Life often invites us to explore the big, existential questions: 'Who am I?' and 'What is my true purpose?' Many of the individuals I work with are wrestling with these questions, often accompanied by a weight of anxiety, restless nights, and a profound sense of disconnection. They may feel like they’re simply going through the motions, pretending to be someone they’re not, and wondering if they’ll ever truly find peace or clarity. What they seek is not only relief from their pain but also a deeper understanding of themselves and their life’s path—a sense of belonging, both to themselves and the world around them.

I often work with those who feel overwhelmed by the constant balancing act of work, relationships, and personal life. It can feel like they’re floating through life, caught in a sea of demands, and struggling to keep afloat. These beautiful souls often long for the ability to set clear, loving boundaries, to honor their own needs, and to reconnect with their authentic selves.

Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, learning to listen to the quiet whispers of the heart and soul. I guide clients in cultivating the strength to say 'no' when needed, and the courage to say 'yes' to what truly nourishes them. Through this compassionate process, my goal is to help them find a deeper sense of inner peace, purpose, and alignment with their highest truth, so they can move through life with grace, clarity, and a deep connection to their own essence.

Grievers ~

Grief is a sensitive and tender part of the human experience and something all of us go through. Grief can be incredibly life-shattering, heart-wrenching, isolating, confusing, and intense. I work with folks who have experienced or are currently navigating a life-altering loss. My approach is rooted in the belief that there is no right way to grieve or no timeline for when you should “move on.” Grief is not something to “fix” or “get rid of,” but rather something to be honored and processed. It is a reflection of the deep love we’ve shared, and I guide clients in recognizing that this love and connection can endure beyond physical form. I support my clients in creating meaningful rituals to honor their loved ones, offer creative outlets to help release stuck emotions, and use somatic techniques to help regulate the nervous system. Together, we explore how to find meaning in what can feel like a meaningless reality.

Couples ~

Relationships are among our greatest teachers, and often the places where our deepest wounds are revealed. Our partners have the unique ability to reflect back to us both our pain and our potential for healing. In the sacred space of a relationship, we are invited to confront and heal our wounds, and also to experience the profound growth and transformation that comes through connection.

I often work with couples who desire to communicate more authentically and deeply, helping them move beyond surface-level exchanges to create a space where true understanding and empathy can flourish. My work also supports couples in reducing conflict, releasing feelings of resentment, and fostering greater intimacy—both emotional and spiritual. Together, we explore how to nurture a connection that is rooted in love, mutual respect, and shared growth, allowing both partners to feel seen, heard, and deeply connected on a soul level.
