Online (CA) + in person in Livermore

I help people in Livermore and throughout California who are navigating chronic pain, persistent dizziness, chronic illness, medical trauma, anxiety or depression — as well as major life transitions — feel more empowered and connected with themselves and their loved ones. 

I've spent over ten years working alongside a variety of healthcare professionals and I co-facilitated the ARISE Program for Persistent Pain and Dizziness for its duration at Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley. If having a therapist who understands healthcare systems or who can help you bridge care is part of what you need, let's talk about it.

Living with a chronic condition is rarely simple. Among other things, you may find yourself having to marshal resources for appointments or calls to the insurance company, advocate for yourself, manage physical symptoms and medications, and negotiate the emotional side of it, too. 

And if you're the well partner, you’re experiencing life differently, too. Watching someone you love struggle, feeling uncertain how to help without hovering, or slowly feeling less of a partner  — it takes a toll. 

Each of you might feel grief for the life you had or hoped for, guilt for what you can’t do, or a quiet resentment that’s hard to share out loud. You might feel angry. You might feel depressed. You might feel anxious when you go into crowded areas or a shop, uncertain whether you’ll get ill, bracing for the unexpected knock on the shoulder, or worried for how it’ll affect tomorrow or three days from now. 

Here you can have a space to name it all, without worrying about protecting anyone else from how you actually feel.

How I Can Help

Chronic Pain, Illness & Medical Trauma
 This is where my therapeutic background is deepest, including co-facilitating Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley's ARISE Program for Persistent Pain and Dizziness.

  • Chronic pain

  • Persistent dizziness

  • Chronic illness

  • Unexpected medical diagnoses

  • Medical trauma

Below you'll find the areas where I have the most extensive experience, along with the wider range of concerns with which I also work. If you don't see yourself reflected but feel like we might be a good fit, please reach out — I'd love to hear from you. And if we're not a good fit, I'll work with you to find a therapist who is.

Perinatal & Postpartum Support
 Before becoming a therapist, I taught prenatal yoga for eight years and founded a prenatal yoga teacher training program. I bring an embodied understanding of the perinatal and postpartum journey to my work, alongside support for the feelings of anxiety, depression, or overwhelm that can come with this season of life. 

  • Perinatal & postpartum anxiety or depression

  • Adjusting to the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood

I Also Work With

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Chronic stress & burnout

  • Major life transitions

Sessions in any of these areas can also take place as walk & talk therapy. This option works well for clients who find it easier to process while moving or whose day is already full of appointments, pickups, or work without an hour to spare for sitting in an office or on a video call.

Curious about how that works? Reach out. I’m happy to answer any of your questions. 

My Approach

I offer a holistic, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming approach that draws from a wide range of modalities — including somatics, attachment theory, and parts work — and I tailor the mix to what you need.

  • Gestalt

  • Expressive therapy 

  • Narrative therapy

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy

  • Ecotherapy

  • Neuroscience

  • Psychodynamic | Depth Psychology

Whatever brings you here, let’s see if we can help you find your way — to yourself and to the people you love.
