My Approach

I envision a healthy therapeutic relationship as the basis of my work. From there, I build on techniques to help you meet your goals. With individuals, I practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This is a treatment that addresses trauma symptoms. With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFcT). This is an approach to build emotional connection and communication in relationships. Therapy can help you develop new ways of being with yourself and others that last for a lifetime.

I help people overcome challenging pasts to build fulfilling lives.

Trauma can result from a single terrible event, such as an accident or assault. It may also arise from the quiet pain of being discouraged from becoming your authentic self. No matter your background, an emotionally attuned therapeutic relationship is healing.

Healthy connection is the cornerstone of trauma recovery. This idea is the basis of my style of San Francisco trauma therapy. In both individual and couples therapy, I provide space for you to share your unique story. Our early relationships and experiences can impact our wellbeing in the present. Therapy can help you develop insight and heal from past emotional wounds.
