HistoryI have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. My private practice opened in San Luis Obispo in 2020 and I am accepting new clients. I've been privileged to witness so much growth through the therapeutic relationship in multiple settings; somatic clinic, school-based, grief clinic, and community-based agencies.SpecialtiesI offer you a sacred time and space to explore the elements that are leading to this current situation. I utilize a holistic, mindful and relational approach adapted to each individual who walks in including children, teens and adults. As a Somatically trained therapist, I encourage therapy to gather information from your thoughts, feelings and beliefs as well as information from you body (sensations, pain, tension, movements). I encourage self-learning, self-compassion and learning new skills. With children I offer non-directive play therapy and include education, ideas and collaboration with parents. With teens I use a relational approach to build insight and skills in a safe, caring relationship. With adults I incorporate talk, somatic, relational, CBT and other trauma-informed approaches allowing for individualized collaboration in healing.
