About Me

Looking at Ourselves Holistically

Click on each aspect of ourselves as human beings to read how, through therapy, we focus on fostering a healthy expression of each aspect.

  • Through therapy, we will witness, nurture, & heal your:

    • thought patterns,

    • belief systems → behavior patterns,

    • sense of self

      • personality, character, esteem

      • in relationship

    → the GOAL = MENTAL CLARITY:

    • You are not lost, as your automatic thoughts & perceptions.

    • You actively witness & navigate your thought patterns moment-to-moment with ease.

    • Your belief systems reflect your own desired values & guide your intentional choices.

    • You are clear, grounded, & secure in who you are & what you can offer.

  • Through therapy, we will:

    • recognize & witness your emotional responses to daily life,

    • nurture & heal your emotional coping (holding & digestion) capacity.

    → the GOAL = EMOTIONAL FLUIDITY:

    • You are not your emotions. They do not overwhelm or frighten you, taking over your actions. You know your emotions just need to be truly felt & expressed.

    • You experience & express your emotions with steady humility, ongoing clarity, & deep respect. You know emotions, like sensations, are your body’s intelligent communication system messages.

    • You recognize & honor the limits of your emotional holding capacity.

      • You know how & with who your coping capacity opens & expands.

    • You take the time & space you need to allow your emotional experiences to flow & release - digest - fully from your body.

  • Through therapy, we will consider how you nurture & heal your physical health condition(s) with:

    • accessing physical health care resources,

    • & daily self-care practices,

      • nutrition,

      • physical activity,

      • & rest.

    → the GOAL = PHYSICAL CAPACITY:

    • You listen & respond to the intuitive sensations your body uses to communicate what it needs.

    • You choose physical health habits that empower & sustain you through each day.

    • You experience your physical body as capable of meeting the physical demands of your daily life.

  • Through therapy, we will nurture your:

    • creative life force energy —

      • your unique expression of life,

      • & what your life offers to others in the world,

    • sense of hope & faith in possibilities for yourself & the world.

    → the GOAL = SPIRITUAL ALIGNMENT:

    • You are actively creating your desired, meaningful life.

    • You channel your creative life force energy into honest expressions of self — possibly through:

      • what you say & wear,

      • where & how you belong, caring for who & what you love,

      • playing with arts (writing, music, dancing, crafting, etc.)

      • developing passions (in activities, sports, practices, skills, fields of expertise, etc.),

      • contributing to the world — a skill, a service, a product, a role, an impact, an experience

    • You have a clear sense of purpose that drives you through & is derived from your daily life.

    • You can see & put trust in a hopeful future for yourself & others. (If you can heal, so can the world.)

      • You believe in benevolence & connection as natural to a healthy humanity & world.

Your MIND is…

→ not seeing things clearly, stumbling making choices

→ is needing & overly turning to comfort in unhealthy habits

Your SPIRIT…

→ feels unfulfilled, aimless, lost, unsure of your place in the world

→ sees & feels the weight of the struggles of others across the world today

→ has lost meaning or purpose, its reason to live

→ is seeking faith, in some form

For your MIND…

For your SPIRIT…

Hypnotherapy

An ~2-hour therapy session where you are guided through hypnosis into a trance so that I can guide your conscious mind & subconscious body to collaborate in understanding & healing your stubborn concerns towards your spiritual lightness & alignment.

For your EMOTIONAL BODY…

Relationship Therapy

Regular couple, parent-child, or family therapy sessions focused on understanding & improving your relationship patterns with each other, especially through life’s stresses & transitions, towards a dynamic of belonging & collaborative teamwork.

Hypnotherapy for:

Your Stubborn Concerns

Intrusive Thoughts & Feelings

Hypnotherapy to get to the subconscious root of the loneliness, guilt, shame, fear, sadness, &/or anger that are on repeat in your mind & heart moment-to-moment, disrupting your behaviors & choices towards your goals in life — towards clarity & lightness in your mind, body, spirit, & life.

Co-Dependency

Hypnotherapy to get to the subconscious root of your co-dependent patterns in relationship. Examine & shift your current, unhealthy relationship dynamics in the light of your past, (often) early childhood experiences towards your emotional lightness & alignment.

"Bad" Habits

Whether your habit is behavioral — like an addiction to a substance, food, purging, etc. — or physical — like chronic muscle tension, headaches, or other unexplainable physical condition — there is a subconscious root that hypnotherapy can uncover & shift towards your optimal physical capacity.

Integrative Treatment Approach

Through therapy, my integrative treatment philosophy heals you holistically — fosters awareness & ease in your mind, body, & spirit.

Together, we will always view your treatment concern & process through a holistic lens — that you have relationships with & between your mind, body, & spirit to steadily nurture through life — in order for you to experience well-being & fulfillment.

    1. Finalize payment plan

    2. Review Informed Consent on Therapy Notes (online portal)

    3. BEGIN TREATMENT

    — by defining your treatment goals & plan

Through therapy, I aim for our conversations to inspire:

  • To me, healing is the steady & evolving SELF-LOVE we embed into:

    • our mental patterns,

    • our self-care & physical health practices,

    • & our relationships with others & the world.

    Together, we’ll explore where & how you can soften & deepen in LOVE for your mind, body, & spirit in your daily life.

  • To me, healing is recognizing our EVOLUTION. We literally move through life each day gradually gathering:

    • experience,

    • knowledge,

    • skills,

    • & character.

    Together, we’ll share in regular reflection on, goal-directed dialogue about, & recognition of your CHANGES thru therapy & life.

  • It is healing to CREATE. And, to me, to create is: to express ourselves & to expand into possibility.

    We each need to share who we genuinely are & feel truly seen — thru our words, deeds, & creations.

    And we each also need to DREAM with hopeful action.

    Together, we will IMAGINE your desired future & version of self, & take steps towards bringing that vision to life in present-day reality.

Your FAQ, Answered

Hypnotherapy FAQ

Website Policies: Disclaimers

  • Not everyone is spiritual — with a practice or belief system.

    However, I believe, everyone has a creative life force spirit — everyone is made up of energy flowing through our bodies. This energy flows across energetic centers & pathways called chakras & meridians, according to Eastern spiritual & healing traditions. Some energy is emotional. And sometimes energy gets stagnant, becoming physical concerns.

    This is the Spirit we can address in your holistic treatment — your energetic body — thru interventions like hypnotherapy, tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), guided imagery/meditation, & breathwork. Of course, only if you decide to do so.

  • Everyone needs & deserves healing practices to get through life. That is why it is important to me to contribute to the accessibility of mental health care in California by offering an anti-oppressive sliding scale for persons of varying financial capacity & by accepting health insurance coverage.

    I offer a limited number of free & low-cost therapy slots. If I cannot accommodate your financial need at the time we get in contact, I am happy to point you in a direction to meet your financial needs.

    At this time (8/28/26), I only accept health insurance for individual & relationship mental health therapy.

  • Getting started is simple..

    Reach out through — my CONTACT FORM — or directly via:

    We will THEN have an ~15-min. phone consultation to discuss:

    • your concerns, hopes, & goals,

    • treatment logistics,

    • & our alignment as a treatment team.

    From there, we:

    1. Finalize your payment plan

    2. Review my Informed Consent Form

    3. Begin treatment at your 1st scheduled session

  • For SELF-PAY clients: Before our first session, you will be emailed a link to create an account on my CLIENT PORTAL on the platform THERAPY NOTES. This platform offers a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing service for the provision of secure telehealth treatment.

    Every session, you will log onto your portal & enter my virtual waiting room until I begin our session.

    For HEALTH INSURANCE clients: Before our first session, HEADWAY will provide us both with a unique link to meet via HIPAA-compliant video conferencing for the provision of secure telehealth treatment.

  • Scheduled therapy sessions are specifically reserved for you. I ask that you provide a 24-hour notice by phone or email should you be late or need to cancel for any reason.

    There is no fee penalty for a missed session. Consistently late or cancelled appointment visits will prompt my exploration to identify contributing factors & possible adjustments that can be made before termination is considered. Two consecutive, or three total, missed sessions without notice will result in a loss of future appointments. I can understand & make allowances for extenuating circumstances communicated with me.

  • Ideally, therapy ends when you & I agree that your treatment goals have been achieved.

    The length of your treatment & plan for your termination depend on the specifics of your therapy goals & personal desires, & will be jointly discussed & determined.

    You have the right to terminate treatment at any time, even during a session, for any reason. Following termination, you will be given referrals to other therapists/hypnotherapists if so desired.

    You are always welcome to return to treatment with me should another need present in the future.
