About
My work is integrative, blending depth psychology with studies in attachment, neuroscience, and relational and developmental psychology. I am influenced by analytic traditions which contain a focus on trauma, and studies in contemporary neuroscience, which show how our brains process our affective (emotional) experience, particularly in the context of relationship.In addition to discussing your current and historical life experiences in our sessions, we may incorporate your dreams and somatic (body) mindfulness practices, such as exploring body sensations and their emotional counterparts. I have a wide range of clinical experience with culturally and socially diverse clients, including Bay Area homeless youth, students at Cal State East Bay and San Francisco Conservatory of Music, as well as individuals, couples and groups in private practice. In addition to my work as a therapist, I have a background in fiction, poetry, music, and visual art. I have a special interest in working with sexual abuse and other trauma, shame and self-esteem, and issues unique to artists, performers, writers, and activists.
