My Approach

Healing happens in relationships

My approach is rooted in the belief that deepening self-awareness creates the freedom to choose how we engage with life. By understanding our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in context, we unlock opportunities for growth and transformation. This process cultivates compassion, curiosity, and an openness to new perspectives.

My therapeutic style is relational, client-centered, and trauma-informed, with a strong emphasis on somatic and transpersonal approaches. As a process-oriented and holistic therapist, I integrate mind, body, and spirit into our work. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities—including Hakomi, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems (IFS), depth psychology, narrative therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

How I Work

Described as heart-centered, creative, and direct when needed, my style is designed to support your journey of self-discovery and growth. This isn't traditional talk therapy—it's a process-oriented approach incorporating experiential healing arts. I create a safe, welcoming space for you to explore your past, present, and future, helping you uncover hidden barriers and discover new perspectives. Therapy with me is about going beyond words to engage with the body, emotions, and deeper layers of experience. I’m here to guide you with compassion and collaborate with you every step of the way as you connect with your true self and create lasting transformation.

A Collaborative Process

Therapy with me is a partnership. Together, we’ll work to release old patterns, reconnect with your true self, and create lasting transformation. By blending ancient wisdom with modern techniques, I’ll help you tap into your inner healing intelligence and nurture lasting change. You are the expert of your experience, and I am here to support your experience.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a supportive space to explore new paths and reconnect with your true purpose.

My experience as a former Silicon Valley leader has given me firsthand insight into the pressures of high-performance environments and the search for authenticity in a productivity-driven world. This journey led me to help others cultivate their inner wisdom, honor the mind-body connection, and create lasting transformation through a blend of somatic healing, transpersonal exploration, and mindfulness-based practices.

A Medicine Woman’s Prayer

I will not rescue you,

For you are not powerless.

I will not fix you,

For you are not broken.

I will not heal you,

For I see you in your wholeness.

I will walk with you through the darkness,

As you remember your light.
