Holistic and Somatic Psychotherapy in Berkeley, California

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist with a background in traditional psychodynamic therapy as well as somatic and holistic methods.

 My clients can be assured of a safe, comfortable space and a warm friendly environment.  I am trained in and practice holistic methods that are suited to the needs of each client, enabling the realization of positive change and growth.

I emphasize finding healing resources within  oneself.  My deepest belief and the foundation of my psychotherapy practice is that we all have an innate ability to heal ourselves.

 I have been trained in various body/mind/energy methods such as Somatic Experiencing for trauma resolution,  Jin Shin energy work, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping),and  Hakomi Mind/Body Psychotherapy.   

As a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I am a trauma resolution specialist.  I have experience with such traumas as those resulting from accidents, surgery, sexual or physical abuse, developmental or attachment issues, or other causes.

My approach to couples therapy is based on Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. I help couples with communication issues, enabling them to establish mutual trust, safety, pleasure, and emotional and physical intimacy within their relationship. Domestic and household issues such as chores management are commonly addressed.

My clients include individuals, couples, trauma survivors and people with cross cultural and immigrant issues.
