Licensed Psychologist - (at Sacred Wheel Psychological Services)
CA Lic. 25015
I believe that a wellness model truly supports the whole person: the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self in each of us. This informs my work with individuals, couples, and groups by making psychotherapy an exciting journey in which, together, we find how their unique abilities and strengths can be applied to challenging life situations, relationships, and the unfolding of new ways of being. My experience allows me to serve clients in crisis and those suffering from traumas, address a variety of symptoms such as anxiety and depression, work with unique populations such as sexually and gender-diverse people, and facilitate deep personal growth and identity development in others. I work cognitively, symbolically, and somatically, and maintain a practice rooted in interpersonal feminism and mindful compassion. Two decades of studying eco-psychology and world religions gives me an appreciation of diversity and the sacred while allowing me to join my clients as a companion on their unique personal journeys. My approach to relationships is based in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) and I am dedicated to serving the polyamorous and multiply partnered communities in San Francisco.
