Are there things on your mind that cause you frustration or confusion, perhaps about life, work, or relationships? When we are unable to fully understand something, it can be difficult to enjoy the present moment or to feel resilient. We may seek distractions or quick fixes to cope with distress, which over time teaches the mind, heart, and body to engage life in an overly defended, disconnected, or protected way. Left unexplored, these habits often contribute to an underlying pain or uneasiness that expresses itself in a myriad of symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, anger, or struggles with intimacy. As a Depth therapist (Pacifica Graduate Institute, Jungian-oriented), I offer mindfulness-based & Body-oriented approaches to making sense of difficulties & transforming barriers into opportunities for growth. I support you to understand core issues & unconscious dynamics that live outside your awareness, but contribute to the patterns that keep you stuck. My work integrates mindfulness training, therapeutic Dreamwork, & Body-oriented techniques into therapy. I am holistic, integrative, queer/trans* positive, LGBTQI-affirmative and operate within a social justice/multicultural lens. My approaches are enriched by a longstanding interest in Reiki (bodywork), Buddhist studies & insight meditation (Vipassana).
