Life can feel almost impossible sometimes, like no one prepared us for all the ways hope, despair, love, uncertainty and the need for recognition get weirdly tangled together. Sometimes talking to someone helps. I work from a place of profound care and curiosity to support you to clarify more fully: who you are, what you dream and how you can feed that.
I specialize in working with gifted and highly sensitive teens and adults to navigate histories of complex trauma and chart authentic, new expressions of creativity and desire. I do this work because life is happening now and not one second of it can ever be gotten back. My life’s passion is to support you to live more freely. What has shaped me the most as a therapist is my experience of living deeply with the unconscious, with loss and with mystery. I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy and Lacanian psychoanalysis as a reflection of my values and my sense of care. I completed formal education in integral psychology at CIIS in San Francisco. My training as a listener though draws on more than two decades of meditation experience, and years in my own therapy and analysis.
I am available for anyone struggling with the full range of human weirdness who needs to be heard and who wants deep change. If that sounds like you, reach out. It would be an honor to meet you and accompany you on that journey.
Psychotherapy means to learn about yourself through speaking with a professional. I find therapy is richest and most effective when both the client and therapist are fully present for this encounter. A core dimension of that is being in the room together. Bodies can be delightful, uncomfortable, unruly and precarious. This is very often a central theme in my client's in-person work - how to handle their body and their need for being together as well as their fears of it in such a high-velocity, digital world.
