A life full of happiness, joy, and connection is your birthright, yet sometimes your life’s path may twist through forests so seemingly impenetrable that you lose sight of your dreams, struggle with life’s hardships, and can’t find a way out of disconnection and suffering. I offer a light and my hand to help you move forward through whatever challenges you face and to align your life with your deepest longings of spirit, mind, and body. You don’t have to go through this alone.

 

I have a bachelor’s degree in humanities from Yale and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. My theoretical orientation is rooted in mindfulness, draws heavily from somatic approaches such as EMDR and Hakomi—in which I am currently training—and incorporates psychodynamic, existential, and depth perspectives. I work with relational theories of development and attachment; engagement with meaning and choice in the here-and-now; and a Jungian view toward dreams, symbols, and the unconscious.

 

What drew me to practice at Kindred Heart Therapy Group is our foundation of loving-kindness in accessible support of people across our community. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to expand awareness of how your patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating may be at odds with the life you long for, to reconcile tension between different parts of your mind, and to help you experience positive, lasting psychological change.
