How I Can Help

Have a particular life obstacle you’re trying to overcome? Are you feeling overwhelmed in your situation? As a committed, professional associate Somatic Psychotherapist in San Francisco, your well-being and mental strength is my number one priority. Forming the connection between body and mind is the path to wholeness and healing.

About Me

I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies with a Masters of Art in Counseling Psychology, with a concentration in Somatic Psychology. I completed my traineeship at the Center for Somatic Psychotherapy, where I had the privilege of working with a diverse clientele consisting of adults and adolescents. My clinical work is heavily influenced by the practice and principles of Formative Psychology, in addition to a Psychodynamics approach.

My Background and Experience

Since June of 2019, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse clientele in both individual and group therapy settings. My focus is on exploring the relationship between body and psyche through the lens of Formative Psychology
and Psychodynamics. I spent the past decade working in the service industry and operating my own practice as an Energy Worker/Practitioner. My own lived experience has very much influenced the reasons that I am drawn to this work of somatic psychotherapy.

My Approach

My practice is based on the belief that every individual is moving towards a place of well-being and that there is natural wisdom of the body which can be cultivated in this process of forming. My clinical approach can be defined as client-centered. I bring all of myself to this work and care deeply about my clients and what they have to share. I am guided by different somatic and psychodynamic modalities/ theories such as Formative Psychology, Trauma-Informed, Attachment Theory, and Jungian Psychology. I use these approaches to offer support and guidance to adults, adolescents, children,
and families.

My own lived experience has set me on the path towards wholeness, and due to this, I have a real commitment to providing trauma-informed, body-accepting, LGBTQ+ friendly, and a social-justice oriented somatic practice.

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.
