INDIVIDUAL, COUPLE, AND FAMILY THERAPY

There is nothing wrong with you.

Like the humble cones that grow into majestic redwood trees, in this very moment everything you need to realize your wildest dreams is waiting inside.

I work with people who are open to transformation; who know the seed of goodness in their hearts, and are determined to allow it to bloom in this lifetime. I work with those who are ready to move towards their dreams with fierce and tender courage, not only for themselves, but for their families and communities.

Over our lives, blocks to our natural wellspring of creativity, joy, and wellness can fall like tree trunks into the rushing stream, stemming the full flow of water. Together, let us discover the places of numbness, unworthiness, the old stories, ancestral wounds, the allegiance to victimhood, the systems of oppression locked within your psyche and body, so that you can live your biggest life.

I bring a variety of modalities and ideas into my work, including Buddhism, Daoism (Chinese indigenous land-based practice), and Indigenous teachings (through West African Dagara elder Dr. Malidoma Somé, Jicarilla Apache elder Dr. Eduardo Duran, Brazilian educator Vanessa Machado de Oliveira Andreotti, and Navajo/Diné medicine couple the Begays). I believe in the power of the intuition— of the earth of the body— in allowing people to unlock their deepest knowing. I see how systemic oppression including patriarchy, capitalism, colonization, racism, etc. impacts our ways of being and work with clients to bring awareness and compassion to these conditioned ways of thinking/being. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and Mindful Awareness. 

I have particular interest and expertise in working with people grappling with life transitions, relationship/interpersonal difficulties, cultural divides, communication problems, family/intergenerational conflict, anxiety, depression, shame, and those seeking greater purpose/meaning.

In addition to adults, I work with teens, couples, families, BIPOC, Asian Diaspora, White allies, immigrants, activists, artists and healers.
