Welcome!
I am a somatic psychotherapist based in SF. My approach is relational, resource-based, integrative, trauma-oriented, and culturally sensitive.
I deeply respect my clients’ innate wisdom, dignity, and healing capacity.
My work integrates embodied awareness and relational therapy within a social justice framework that honors cultural values, spiritual or religious beliefs, and each person’s unique identity and innate dignity.
I am also a Certified Hypnotherapist and trained clinician in EMDR and The Flash Technique.
