Recovery from toxic relationships, trauma healing, empowerment, finding meaning, improving relationships, and a healthy balance in life has been key in my work with clients ranging in age 3 to 65 - individuals, couples, and families.
My graduate work at John F. Kennedy University (MA in Counseling Psychology) focused on Transpersonal Psychology (literal translation: 'beyond the person'); utilizing client's chosen spirituality in their own healing is clearly present in my work.
My work experience is a blend of early private practice in SF east bay, counseling at a chiropractic college, a continuation high school, and several non-profit agencies in SF south bay.
I have recently brought in art activities into my sessions to help lower anxiety, improve awareness, increase communication, and regulate the autonomic nervous system to a more balanced level; my BA is in Communication Design.
I worked in Publishing for many years. Creative problem solving is a big part of how I support my clients. Every problem has a solution. I will guide you in finding appropriate solutions.
