Our relationships can be the most fulfilling part of our lives and, in moments, they can feel challenging, especially if you haven’t had the guidance in recognizing or communicating needs in relationships. As a result, one can feel overwhelmed by the misunderstanding they experience in relationships. Some of the patterns that may show up in relationships are attracting the same person that is anxious, distant, or unable to be there for you or finding oneself in repeated arguments that are unresolved. These patterns may lead to disappointment, disconnection, and burnout of relationships.
Together we can take the time to investigate how you show up in relationships. I will support you with this process by deeply listening and by giving you my honest feedback in regard to what I see and hear. As a licensed psychotherapist, my main goal in session is to help you feel less burdened in the process of cultivating healthy relationships with yourself and others. Through our work together you can achieve improvement of relationships and improved quality of life. The journey in cultivating healthier and more fulfilling relationships can be extremely vulnerable and I am here to support you with this process. Please contact me for an initial session to get started.
I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Music from the University of California Santa Cruz, and a Master of Arts in Integral Counseling Psychology, with an emphasis in clinical psychology, from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
My training includes working with young children, families, couples, and individuals in San Francisco through the Golden Gate Integral Counseling Center.
As a multilingual practitioner, I am specifically attuned to cultural delineations. I have numerous years of experience specializing in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders, relational challenges, identity and self-esteem struggles. People come to therapy with unique experiences and goals. I listen and strive to have a deep understanding of each client. I work relationally and my intention in session is to create a safe environment for healing, self-exploration and growth. While suffering is universal, we all have a unique story to share; I believe that therapy provides the space for your story to be heard.
