Individual Psychotherapy | Marina/Cow Hollow

My Approach

I hold the therapeutic relationship as sacred, a safe space for self-exploration and self-discovery. I feel passionate about this work, in being a witness and guide, as my clients sort through life's many challenges and major life decisions. Throughout this process I intend to create a nourishing and non-judgmental atmosphere of acceptance, laying the foundation for growth and healing. My style is gentle and allowing - whatever issues you are dealing with, I'm confident we can handle them together and move in a direction toward lasting change. You don't have to do it alone.

My orientation is holistic and eclectic, incorporating Cognitive Therapy, Somatic (body-based methods), Expressive Arts, and Mindfulness. In each session I utilize a variety of modalities to fit the needs and wishes of each client.
