holistic & depth-oriented therapy

Move beyond surface solutions toward meaningful, lasting change

For thoughtful adults ready for deeper work

Virtual therapy throughout California and North Carolina, with limited in-person availability in San Francisco beginning soon.

I work with professionals and creatives who are ready to engage in meaningful psychological work and make significant shifts in their lives. Most of the people I work with have been in talk therapy before but found that it didn’t go deep enough. My training in depth and body-oriented therapy helps access what is outside of every day awareness – core beliefs and unconscious motivations, as well as inspiration and creativity. Many of my clients are in periods of transition, or sense that something in their lives could be richer and more aligned. They know their relationships could be more authentic and their life more meaningful. This gap between how you experience your life and what you long for often shows up as feelings of anxiety, depression, irritability, or something feeling “off.”

Our work focuses on understanding the patterns and beliefs that shape how you relate to yourself and the world around you. Through this depth-oriented process, therapy becomes a place to discover aspects of you that have been long-hidden, repair trauma that keeps stuck patterns in place, and develop the courage to practice new ways of being in the world.

THERAPY TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

To have a good life we need to free ourselves from patterns that keep us feeling small and stuck. First, we need to know what we want and what gets in the way of listening to ourselves or taking action. We need to be able to communicate in a way that feels authentic, which includes setting boundaries without being crushed by guilt, and learning how to connect with others without losing ourselves.

It often feels easier to live in a way that is familiar than to act on the desire for change. I create a safe space with my clients to gently challenge the status quo so you can make your way to a life that is more fulfilling and genuine.
