I am a Registered Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, in private practice in San Francisco, under Holistic Therapy Center, supervised by Mary Owen, MFT # 14190.

Who I work with:
Over the past 15 years, I worked in a variety of schools and nonprofits as a teacher, trainer, counselor and workshop leader. In private practice, I work with individuals, couples, families and groups. I specialize in working with trauma survivors and have over a decade of experience as a sexuality educator.

How I work:
People of all developmental stages and ages have benefited from my combined training in the principles of aikido, energetics, meditation and coaching, with somatic psychotherapy. Recognizing that we all react out of habit in challenging situations, I offer concrete practices that build the necessary skills to intervene in these habitual reactions, make new choices and live a more present, engaged and fulfilling life.

My credentials:
In addition to receiving my certification as a Master Somatic Coach from the Strozzi Institute and my Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology from The California Institute for Integral Studies, I am an Advanced Somatics and Trauma graduate in Generative Somatics. I also co-lead a rites of passage group for adolescent girls through Stepping Stones Project.
