How I Can Help

In our work together, your whole self is welcome. This may include feelings and experiences that are hard to talk about. I offer warmth, curiosity, and sensitive listening as we approach your hardships. I work with clients who may have experienced challenging familial relationships, and have complex feelings about "home.” I specialize in trauma work and issues of cultural complexity for individuals, couples, and families. Our work together can facilitate transformation and create new possibilities. It would be an honor to support you.

About Me

I received a bachelor of arts in Anthropology from the University of Georgia, and a master of arts in Counseling Psychology, with an emphasis in Somatic Psychology, from California Institute of Integral Studies. I am a registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Somatic Movement Educator (RSMT/E) with the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA). My interests in cultural traditions, movement, and art-making all inform my work with clients.

My Background and Experience

My training includes working with young children, families, and teachers at preschools throughout San Francisco, through the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Infant-Parent Program. I also worked with individuals through San Francisco’s Center for Somatic Psychotherapy, focusing on somatic and mindfulness-based therapeutic work.

Internships

We offer a supportive private practice internship program, allowing pre-licensed clinicians (AMFT/ASW/APCC) to earn an income, accrue hours towards licensure and develop the clinical and entrepreneurial skills required for success in private practice. During the Coronavirus pandemic, we are continuing to accept new associates, helping them to launch practices as teletherapists. We also occasionally accept newly licensed clinicians, helping them to launch their private practice careers.

Services

In response to the Coronavirus, we now focus on providing teletherapy (therapy by phone and video) to our clients. Teletherapy can be helpful to individuals of all ages, including children and teenagers. Couples and families can also benefit from the convenience, flexibility and effectiveness of teletherapy. Please call or write us today to learn more about our services.
