When something keeps repeating in your life—and you’re drawn to understand what lies underneath.

For those who have often felt on the outside looking in, or who experience the world a little differently—and who tend to carry a lot for others— a space to slow down, listen inward, and begin to sense what’s beneath the surface.

I offer individual and couples therapy for adults in California seeking support with relationship challenges, recurring patterns, and emotional overwhelm. My work integrates relational, somatic (body-aware), and expressive therapy approaches, and is especially supportive for creatives, helping professionals, and those navigating cross-cultural or complex identity experiences. Sessions are available online throughout California and in-person in Berkeley and Petaluma.

THERAPY FOR RECURRING PATTERNS, RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES, AND FEELING STUCK

You might be noticing:

  • Certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships

  • You understand things on one level, but something doesn’t quite shift

  • You find yourself holding a lot—for others, or within yourself

  • Parts of your experience feel hard to access, name, or share

  • You sense there’s more beneath the surface, but aren’t sure how to reach it

Something in you is already paying attention

HOW I WORK: RELATIONAL, SOMATIC, AND EXPRESSIVE APPROACHES TO THERAPY

Individual and couples therapy with me is a space to slow down and listen more closely—to what’s happening within you, in your relationships, and in your body.

Together, we can:

  • Gently explore the patterns that continue to repeat

  • Notice how your experiences live not just in your thoughts, but in your body

  • Make space for parts of you that may have been overlooked or carried quietly

  • Stay with what emerges, rather than moving quickly rushing past it

  • Allow new ways of experiencing and relating to take shape over time

My approach integrates relational therapy, somatic (body-aware) therapy, and expressive arts—supporting change that is not just understood, but felt.
