I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California. I practice a holistic and somatic form of psychotherapy. That means that in my work I integrate traditional focus on thoughts and feelings as well as the body and the nervous system. I have extensive training in Sensorimotor psychotherapy aimed at helping people overcome effects of developmental trauma and PTSD and develop inner resources for emotional well-being and self-regulation.
My approach to therapy is rooted in interpersonal neurobiology, transpersonal psychology and parts work.
I specialize in working with people who've experienced emotional and physical abuse, trauma, immigration and also with with people living with chronic and invisible illness and their caregivers. If that has been your experience, I am here to provide support and advocacy for your journey towards healing. I am also always glad to support Jewish clients dealing with the effects of anti-semitism.
Foundation of my work is in the warmth of human connection and respect I have for my clients, their lives, experience and wisdom. I am deeply committed to helping my clients navigate difficult emotions and life experiences with compassion, curiosity, attentiveness and a focus on what's in their control. I want my clients to develop the resilience and self-compassion necessary to live a meaningful, healthy and fulfilling lives, no matter what they've been through or what they're facing right now.
