San Francisco, California, 94110
Fundamentally, I believe that my clients hold the expertise and wisdom required to enable their healing.
As a clinician, I aim to maintain a safe, nonjudgmental container that allows a greater knowing and acceptance of yourself. We will work together, utilizing collaborative dialogue and integrative body-mind explorations to reveal and nurture those tender parts longing to be seen and heard. I work dynamically with clients, with a driving passion for social justice and the liberation of all bodies. Founded in Body Psychotherapy of the Reichian tradition, my practice centers on self-acceptance and body-mind integration to allow a fluid experience of oneself.
My therapeutic approaches include Hakomi, Kelemen, Relational, Intersubjective, Somatic, and mindfulness approaches to psychotherapy. Identifying as an active member of the Queer, Kink/BDSM, and ethically non-monogamous communities, I am proud to serve folx identifying with diverse sexual and gender identities. I pride myself on holding a safe space for LGBTQIA+ and all people to explore and better understand themselves as sexual human beings.
My practice is founded in the body. I graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies in 2021 with a Masters in Counseling Psychology, with a focus in Somatic Psychotherapy. Somatics functions on the premise that our mind and body are intrinsically linked and the body can be an incredible resource to our mental health. My approach incorporates neuroscience, body-psychotherapy techniques, and mindfulness.
I pride myself in holding a safe space for LGBTQIA+ and all people to explore and better understand themselves as sexual human beings. Whether you are navigating your sexual orientation, relationship dynamics, or personal fetish, I am here for it. I have particular skill and knowledge in normalizing and supporting your exploration of non-monogamy, alternative relationships, queer identities, and BDSM/Kink interests. I am also experienced and passionate about serving the SW community, as an often underserved and misunderstood population.
Beginning Somatic Therapy is taking a step toward yourself. Therapy is a choice for you, and only you, to make time for self-reflection, intentional connection, and body-mind integration and healing.
As a clinician, I modify my techniques and approaches, customizing them to each client’s needs and goals. Primarily, I work relationally, intersubjectively, and somatically with a culturally sensitive lens. Using mindfulness, education, and thoughtful inquiry, I will humbly walk at your side as you discover your unique genius and traverse your path toward wholeness.
