Specialties
Specialized Trauma Therapy in the Bay Area
My specialties reflect the areas where I've dedicated thousands of hours to education, training, and real-world experience. It's where I immerse myself in conceptualizing treatment, mastering new skills, consulting with fellow professionals, and integrating cutting-edge techniques. When people ask, "So you just listen all day?", I invite them to explore this section to understand the depth of expertise and continuous learning that informs my practice. This is where I truly thrive, and it's where my passion for helping you heal comes to life.
Attachment-Based
This type of therapy delves into your early attachment patterns and looks at how those patterns influence your current relationships. Attachment-based therapy can help to reduce anxiety and depression by helping people to feel more secure in their relationships.
Family/Couples Therapy
In Family/Couples Therapy I use a strengths and solution focused lens. We figure out what is and isn’t working. This isn’t about taking sides or finding fault, it’s about unlocking the dynamics that works for your family.
** Please note: I only work with families and couples where all members of the family/couple system are brought into the process. This is called systemic therapy. I can provide referrals for crisis and divorce mediation/uncoupling counseling as this is not my area of expertise.

Somatic Experiential Therapy
SOMA means body.
SOMATICS means body experiencing.
Somatic therapy leads with experience to return to a more primal way of sensing and processing the world around us. We understand that each person comes to the table with an individualized experience of stress.

EcoTherapy
Sometimes we’re healthier outside. If you’re interesting in integrating movement, wild spaces, or fresh ocean air into your mental health counseling, this may be an excellent option for you.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that uses eye movements, tapping, or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their associated distress. EMDR also reorganizes negative beliefs & self-talk.
Stress Relief Coaching
Not everyone needs therapy. Stress relief coaching is highly personalized with a focus on client actions. We create SWOT analysis, envision the outcomes your want, and provide a roadmap to decreasing stress. This is less about emotions and processing, and more about logistics and accountability.

INSURANCE: I’m an out-of-network provider and I do not contract with insurance agencies. This allows me to meet clients’ mental health needs without third-party restrictions, treatment plan limits, or session limitations.
SUPERBILLS: Upon request, I provide monthly Superbills (an itemized receipt of service) that you can submit to your health insurance plan for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network reimbursement coverage and procedures.
