Most everything we value flows from the relationship we have with ourselves. Discover all that transforms when you live in a way that reflects compassion toward yourself, and a deeper connection with your emotions, truth and dreams. I am a warm, genuinely caring and intuitive therapist. People I see often say that they feel safe and at ease with me, and deeply understood. Prior to a private practice, I provided therapy at the Departments of Psychiatry at UCSD and Rady Children's Hospital, and at Scripps, and trained other therapists. I use a blend of approaches to therapy and healing, and can offer tools tailored to your needs. Since we carry in our bodies, our emotions, the parts of us that need attention, our trauma and loss, as well as our inner knowingness and wisdom, I often integrate body-oriented approaches into therapy for both individuals and couples. This allows the therapy to be more experiential and creates a foundation for symptom relief and greater understanding, I appreciate that you are considering me as you search for a therapist. We can create a therapy that is informed by your vision of the experience you, or you and your partner, want to have in therapy. We can focus, session to session, on what will be the most helpful at the time, maintaining an awareness of your hopes for the outcome of therapy.
