Work With Me

If you’d like to work with me one-on-one, I use a combination of tools. If it’s agreeable to you, I will run your astrological chart and use it to see any patterns. Most Psychologists don’t know this, but Carl G. Jung also used astrological charts with his clients. I’m a Highly Sensitive Person and am acutely attuned to relationship queues and Narcissistic-Codependent relationships. For more on HSP, Sensory-Processing Sensitivity and self-tests see the work of Dr. Elaine Aron. As a sensitive and coach, I consider life-long learning and self- discovery as fundamental to being a good therapist. I believe compassion is a science and that requires peace.

I see women. My beloved sister and mom died during menopause. Some of us don’t make it out of the hormonal changes we must face. I, myself, have done a great deal of research on menopause since I began my own journey through it.

Most of my coaching work is helping people deal with negative patterns, anxiety and feelings of being stuck. I use Parts Integration work, Astrology, NLP coaching tools such as Reframing and offer meditation and breathwork exercises.

What I’ve learned as a Progressive Field Organizer, talking with thousands of people during the election cycle, and then as a Coach, is that no life is untouched by obstacles. Every life is a healing journey.

As a coach, I work with you offering compassion, listening and insight. I believe in not just listening, I prefer the model where therapy offers real tools and perspective.

We find patterns, unconscious blocks and help you tap into your greatest gifts. I try to help you fulfill your heart’s desires. We all have patterns. Working with a professional helps us work through the blocks in our unconscious.

I found in working with clients, and my own journey, is what heals us most is our ability to relax into a sense of wholeness and humanity. It lends us what the Buddhists called equanimity.

I’m very interested in dreams and therapy. At UC Berkeley I researched symbolism, language and signs in Post-Structuralism, Modernism and Semiotics under Trinh Minh-Ha. I studied the work of Psychoanalysts such as Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Jacques Lacan.

I continue this research as well as Transpersonal Humanism, Family Systems Theory, Buddhism and Somatics for my California licensure and Master’s in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Since 2017, I’ve studied ancient Toltec dream interpretation with Sergio Magana and Xolotl Chavez in Mexico.

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP, we are about 20% of the population, often working as teachers and therapists) I am keenly aware of tone, body language, nuance and feelings. I use my sensitivity to work with children, adolescents and adults.

I love hearing from people. Please reach out if you are curious!
