For over 15 years I have been supporting people through different life transitions towards a way of being that allows more ease, freedom and connection.  I help clients with feelings of anxiety, panic, stress or depression as well as trauma, low self worth, relationship, work or school struggles.  I work with adults, parents, teens,  and children.

I offer an integrative approach that is relational, somatically oriented and  
trauma informed.  We explore both mind and body as our body may provide us directly with information that the mind may not.  I provide specific somatic and mindfulness practices that can bring relief and produce shifts even in very challenging times.  A teacher once told me " When the body is truly relaxed, it becomes physiologically impossible to feel anxious”.  
​

​I have worked at different  treatment facilities, including Family Service and Crisis Centers, School Based and Day-Treatment Centers with adults, parents, teenagers and children.  I have extensive training in Somatic Treatment and Trauma processing,  I am EMDR certified  and IFS trained.  I am currently in private practice in Berkeley, CA.  


I believe psychotherapy can relieve suffering and help us connect with our innate wisdom, trust and love.
