"It is a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found."
-- D.W. Winnicot
How I Work
I work intuitively and collaboratively, grounded in a deep awe and respect for human beings in all our complexity. I am deeply influenced by the Hakomi method of therapy, as well as relational, psychodynamic, ecotherapy and feminist modalities. I draw on my experience in social justice movements, and hold the greater context of privilege, oppression and cultural trauma as interwoven in all of our healing journeys.
Somatic Psychotherapy
As a somatic, or body oriented psychotherapist, my approach includes tuning into the felt sense of the body, as well as the observations of the mind. Our bodies are a living record of our life experiences, and listening to one’s body can provide wisdom not available to the mind alone. An understanding of the body's innate intelligence aids greatly in facilitating emotional and psychological healing. I provide education grounded in physiology and neuroscience, as well as resourcing techniques to regulate the nervous system and enhance a sense of safety and well being in the body. I am trained in the use of therapeutic touch to support the healing process when appropriate.

About
I offer holistic, somatic, warm-hearted psychotherapy in the East Bay. As a therapist, my deepest belief is in our inborn ability to heal, no matter what brokenness we may have experienced in life. Often we find that the blueprint for our healing and growth is contained within our suffering. With curiosity, courage, and presence we will support the healing process within you, and follow this process towards lasting change.
