I am a private practice marriage and family therapist serving clients in and around the San Francisco Bay Area in California, as well as online as needed. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change. I look forward to working with you to addresses your challenges and realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.
I know the suffering that stress and anxiety can bring. I am here to help you find ways to find inner peace in a way that is safe and supportive. I am committed to teaching you the techniques that have worked for me, and many others, along with providing the rationale and understanding of why these techniques work. I find it extremely meaningful to share what I have learned with others so that it doesn't feel like there is no other option out there than to continue suffering from intense anxiety, worry, and frustration.
I emphasize using the breath to support the healing process because I have a special relationship to the breath. I was born premature with underdeveloped lungs and could not breathe on my own for the first few days of my life. Through deepening my understanding of my birth-trauma, I discovered breathwork as a way to not only strengthen my lung capacity, but also tend to, and heal what began as a troubled relationship to breath and breathing. The breath is something we have access to at all times, so why not utilize it as a tool for our well-being and overall health?
