Thank you for taking another step toward wellness and healing. Therapy is best facilitated by a good fit and a collaborative kind relationship, so I want to tell you in plain language about my approach. I believe in making space for pain and letting in light around shame. I'm invested in nurturing your innate creativity and natural bent towards healing and growth. I believe in weeping with you, while cherishing the moments we can laugh through the pain.
My training is grounded in Attachment theory, and I enjoy working with interventions from Mindfulness practices, ACT and Sensorimotor therapy. My speciality is working with transitional age youth, adults who are inclined towards spirituality, and individuals with anxiety who are looking for a lighter approach to Mindfulness practices.
My other specialty is working with folks with OCD. I have extensive training and experience through my work at UCSF's OCD/Anxiety/Tic disorder clinic. My approach to ERP work in treating OCD is supplemented by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which I have seen to be a much more effective and compassionate approach than just ERP.
Lastly, I am also dedicated to walking with those who've been wounded by institutional religion in the process of seeking wholeness and meaning.
