Deep within, I believe everyone holds the keys to a life of profound meaning and joy. By discerning their dreams and charting their personal journeys, my clients unlock doors to lives they cherish all the more. In the wise words of Carl Jung, 'Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious. Throughout the years, I have had the privilege to serve the psychotherapeutic community including children, adults, and older adults. Every individual has a unique story, and I approach each one with an open heart and a keen ear, ensuring a warm, safe space for exploration and healing. My practice extends across the vibrant landscapes of the San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Sacramento region, with the mission of bringing warmth, understanding, and wellness to the heart of every soul I encounter.
