As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT #90466), I specialize in grief & loss, developmental trauma, and the psychological symptoms associated with chronic stress. I work with individuals, couples, and families suffering from these difficulties. My therapeutic work is largely informed by somatic-based practices, including Somatic Experiencing®. I am also influenced by some of the other somatic modalities, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and the Strozzi Institute's work.
I am comfortable working with all levels of trauma and have extensive training in SE, including the Touch Skills series, assisting at SE trainings and facilitating SE-informed workshops. I also integrate other therapeutic modalities, including a Certification in Interactive Guided Imagery, the Enneagram, and trainings in various couples therapies. I have an office located in the Financial District in in San Francisco and work virtually as appropriate.
