Depth Psychotherapy
for Adults Breaking Cycles
My approach
I work from a neurobiologically informed framework that is rooted in the latest research on development, neuroscience, and attachment.
This includes a depth-oriented, “bottum-up” approach to trauma therapy. This might include EMDR therapy, but overall it means we will go in depth to understand the combination of your experiences, automatic responses, somatic sensations, emotions and core beliefs in an attempt to heal. This is in contrast to intellectualized approaches that center your thoughts as the primary treatment focus. Not sure what this means? Ask me about it!
A major takeaway from my years of training, research and clinical experience is that relationships matter.
This includes our relationship with ourself, our closest relationships in our lives now, our primary caregivers from our newborn days, and also in the therapeutic relationships that we choose.
My primary mission is to heal and prevent childhood wounds.
What does this mean? It means that I work with adults on healing their wounds, many of them are deeply rooted from childhood. The prevention piece comes in to explains why I have studied Infant-Parent Mental Health and now prioritize working with parents and by proxy, their children.
In-person and remote options
My office is conveniently located in San Francisco’s Mission District. I also offer teletherapy.
Parent coaching may also be best approached in your home or other environments, which is always an option contingent on scheduling constraints.
