Individual Therapy
we heal in relationship
be met where you are
You are welcome exactly as you are. I will walk with you along your healing journey, offering different ways to support you in getting in touch with your own experience.
I follow what is alive and important to you, trusting that you are the expert of your own experience, and offering ways to meet and support your different parts, welcome your wholeness and inner healer, and make space for all of you.
heal your inner child
I offer guided, somatic explorations to meet and care for your inner children, as well as the parts of you that aim to protect and support you.
I see therapy as a co-created relationship, through which we can explore your experiences, parts of self, wants, needs, and boundaries together. My aim is to show up in a way that feels supportive and safe to you.
build your capacity to care for yourself
I believe everyone has within them exactly what they need. I'll support you as you build your awareness of how you can and want to show up for yourself.
My hope is that through our work together you will experience more of your own agency and authenticity, and a greater sense of freedom and home within yourself.
I believe we are incredibly adaptive and creative in the ways that we cope with and heal from traumatic experiences, and I am not interested in fixing you.

Accessibility
- In person: I meet clients for in-person sessions in my office at the corner of Telegraph and 30th St. The building is not wheelchair-accessible. About half the time I have Joya, my small hypo-allergenic dog, with me in the office.
- COVID - I have a HEPA air filter running during sessions and tend to mask when COVID rates are higher (looking at SF wastewater). I always have a mask with me and am willing to mask consistently if needed.
- Teletherapy: my zoom room has the option for captions and the chat function is always enabled. I support your choice in how you would like to meet - including whether we meet over phone or zoom, whether you share verbally or in the chat, and whether you turn your video on or off.
- If you have any access needs that aren't mentioned here, please let me know. For more info on access needs, see this resource and scroll to #10 on the list.
I offer a free 15-25 minute vibe-check zoom call to ask questions, get acquainted, and see if we'd be a good fit to begin therapy together.
