Trauma Informed Treatment for Highly Sensitive People
Experience
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with a background in fine art and philosophy. I came to psychotherapy in the process of my own journey of self-discovery and transformation. I have a deep respect for the unknowable, the great mystery, that aspect of the human condition where something is always left out, just beyond grasp.
I completed clinical training at Ohlhoff Recovery Programs, the San Francisco Art Institute Counseling Center, Haight Ashbury Psychological Services, and New Perspectives Center for Counseling, esteemed practicum sites where I developed expertise utilizing trauma-informed treatment with highly sensitive people.
I am currently pursuing analytic training in the Jungian oriented psychotherapy program at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco.
Education
I am a graduate of the Master of Arts program in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I also hold a Master of Fine Art degree in Photography from Bard College and a Bachelor of Art in Philosophy from Vassar College. I bring my creative spirit and intellectual curiosity to a psychodynamic approach to clinical psychology, utilizing interventions including guided imagery, mindfulness-based somatic techniques and dialectical behavioral therapy. My approach is relational, trauma informed and strength based. I bring an expertise in the areas of addiction and recovery to my work.
Collaboration
I work with artists, creators, writers and thinkers; highly sensitive people who are deeply affected by the world and whose sensitivities are both their greatest asset and most daunting challenge. Wherever you find yourself in the infinitely varied spectrum of culture, gender, race, sex and religious identity, you are welcome here with me. It is my privilege to join you on this journey. I am here to help you see that everything is possible.
