Therapists in San Francisco, CA

We naturally strive to make sense of the things that happen to us. With compassionate guidance and support, the effects of impactful events can be transformed. My approach is collaborative, warm and interactive. My mindfulness-based, psychodynamic practice provides a safe haven from which to explore and create meaning of the key events of your life so that you can arrive at a place of balance and contentment. Fully trained in EMDR, I have the skills to help you resolve traumatic events. I utilize sand tray and other creative means of expression to aid in the healing process. It can even be fun!

Are you battling depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, or seeking healthier coping mechanisms for difficult relationships? Do you identify as culturally diverse (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, etc.)?

Hello, I have 22 years experience working with clients collaboratively, am empathic and non-judgmental and provide a safe space where you can work with a culturally sensitive therapist. I am fluent in Spanish; bilingual and bicultural. I have worked with children, teens, adults and families and have worked extensively with those impacted by violence and abuse as well as those dealing with trauma and other family issues. I provide bereavement and grief services to adults and children. I also have experience in providing psychosocial assessments for UVisa and political asylum applications as well as hardship assessments.

My ideal client is someone who wants solutions to current life issues, but also to explore and let go of limiting beliefs and patterns. Many of them deal with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and blocked creativity. Uncovering and releasing unresolved emotions opens up space for lasting change. My Mind/Body approach integrates relational talk therapy, somatics, and expressive arts. Through these processes of self-discovery and healing, clients may feel more empowered and connected with their innate vitality and creativity.

I possess a passion for helping others along their life's journey. In my work, I arrive with sincerity, humility, optimism, and professionalism.

I serve infant, child, adolescent, adult and geriatric populations through an intersectional approach to client-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, culturally-attuned, evidence-based, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapeutic interventions. Individual, couples, and family therapy available.

My ideal client is ready for change! They have had enough of feeling stuck. I work well with adults, parents, teens, LGBTQ+, parents of children with different needs, people dealing with anxiety or depression, people feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns and couples.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself after experiencing challenging or traumatic events, including medical traumas like cancer, pregnancy loss/traumatic birth, NICU stay, or infertility? Do you grapple with overwhelming feelings of anxiety, isolation, fear, or persistent sadness every day? Are your relationships with peers and romantic partners strained by unresolved childhood trauma and emotional challenges? Do you sense that your trauma and relationship issues are preventing you from living a healthy life? If you often wonder if there's a way to improve your situation, you're not alone.

My approach to therapy emphasizes self knowledge, empowerment and insight helping move towards a more integral, meaningful and gratifying life. It is with passion and kindness that I witness the healing transformation a person goes through in the therapeutic relationship. Originally from Brazil, I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese working with clients who speak these languages. Three theories permeate my work: the Integral theory of Ken Wilber, Psychodynamic theory, and Hakomi. I integrate into the analysis the physical, mental, emotional, and social parts of the self (Integral) in a mindfulness-based, body inclusive, and experiential perspective (Hakomi).

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and burdened by past traumas, perhaps ones tied to your cultural or sexual identity? Do you struggle with anxiety or spirituality and yearn for a deeper connection with nature? Imagine a therapeutic experience that goes beyond traditional methods, one that reconnects you with your mind, body, and the natural world. Together, we can work towards a balanced, fulfilling life where you feel empowered to face challenges and embrace opportunities. If you're ready for this journey, I'm here to walk it with you.

I have extensive experience addressing trauma in women who have been victims of domestic violence. My approach is mostly Psychodynamic with Cognitive Restructuring to help these victims process their past trauma and gain insight into establishing healthy boundaries. This approach has helped many clients gain self-confidence and self-empowerment to continue in life not as a victim but as a survivor of trauma. Clients have been able to learn skills that help them better manage their symptoms and gain a sense of control and self in their lives moving forward.

In 2020, I opened a private practice. I was blessed it grew to full capacity but dealt with sadness of turning people away due to no space. Frequently people shared their difficulties with finding therapy. I am tired of people and families, who are suffering emotionally not getting the help they need. So, I put together a group of several skilled clinicians. We operate by providing a therapy environment that is confidential and emotionally safe. We’re dedicated to making people feel comfortable and understood when discussing the most sensitive issues. Our goal is to ensure support that is empathetic and non-judgmental.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to assisting you in this process by providing the safety to look inward without judgment or expectation but with a sense of curiosity, understanding, and self-compassion. My approach is to join you on your journey and support you in accessing your inner strength, building purpose, hope, and the quality of your life that you deserve. Whatever it is you seek on this journey my hope is to support you in working through the difficulties and support you in reaching your highest potential and building your optimal sense of self.

Thank for your interest in my therapy practice. I’m a trauma-focused therapist who specializes in helping people heal from childhood trauma, PTSD, and psycho-emotional wounds. I see healing as a deeply personal and meaningful journey to recover our authentic wholeness and unique gifts for the world. It often involves reconnecting to and integrating split-off parts of ourselves, clearing traumatic memories, and releasing blockages and old patterns that no longer serve us. I work with a variety of healing modalities that are particularly helpful for healing trauma, including EMDR, journey work, parts work, and hypnotherapy.
