      <image:title>Home - Welcome,</image:title>
      <image:caption>I know it can be intimidating to start the process of therapy and to reach out for help. I am happy you found yourself here. Here’s a little about me and my practice: I am rooted in this work and the belief that the client and I are co-creators and adventurers in the process of healing. When we are grounded in the present and in the therapeutic relationship, the awareness and the subsequent understanding of ourselves that emerges can contribute to an alchemical healing process. I have witnessed, through my process and the process of others, the power and possibility of healing that this kind of work holds. This work helps you to find and nurture the inner healer in you. The work also includes exploring and processing deep relational patterns that can lead to more flow, fulfillment, pleasure and certainty in your life. I work with empathy, curiosity and creativity to meet clients where they are in their lives. I consider the therapeutic space to be sacred; akin to a laboratory, art studio or garden where we can learn and unlearn, co-creating a nurturing space as we get to know our deepest selves. I work collaboratively with warmth and openness. I invite you to come as you are and hope to meet you there. I take a somatically and trauma-informed approach, that is slow and gentle in nature, to help clients address and move through any trauma that they may hold. I also work with a liberation psychology lens encouraging greater awareness of our relationships to systemic oppression. As a farmer/gardener for over 10 years, I am deeply connected to nature and facilitate healing through land-based rituals and ceremonies. Some of my trainings include courses, trainings and workshops in Group Psychotherapy, Hakomi, Reiki and Jungian dreamwork. I am inspired by gathering, infinite interconnectedness, plant wisdom, movement, poetry, liminal spaces, the ocean, seed sovereignty, art and tarot. I am also inspired by the continuous learning and teaching I do as an adjunct professor at The California Institute of Integral Studies. Thank you for taking the time to learn more. Whether we work together or not, I am honored to be a part of your journey and wish you the best. I acknowledge that I am a descendant of white settlers living and practicing on unceded Yelamu, Ramaytush Ohlone land. I donate to Sogorea Te’ Land Trust’s rematriation fund and work to dismantle white supremacy. https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/shuumi-land-tax/</image:caption>

      <image:title>Groups - In Person Groups for Grief and Loss Join the Waitlist!</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Our mourning, our letting ourselves grieve over the loss of loved ones is an expression of our commitment, a form of communication and communion. Knowing this, and processing the courage to claim our grief as an expression of love’s passion does not make the process simple in a culture that would deny us the emotional alchemy of grief.” - bell hooks, All about love: New Visions These groups are for people processing loss and who are grieving significant people in their lives including parents, grandparents, caregivers, friends, partners and siblings. If you’re not sure you fit, please reach out and we can talk more. Together we will share experiences and process through art, community and ritual. We will also share and build mindfulness skills to accompany you in your grief. The current group is held every Thursday evening from 5-6:30 pm for 12 weeks and will end in May 2026. We meet in my office at 2302 Fillmore Street (and Clay Street). Please contact me for more information, to get on the waitlist for the next group and to schedule a free 15 minute consultation where we can talk next steps. “My grief says that I dared to love, that I allowed another to enter the very core of my being and find a home in my heart. Grief is akin to praise; it is how the soul recounts the depth to which someone has touched our lives. To love is to accept the rites of grief.” - Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief</image:caption>
