Offering Virtual Psychotherapy in English and French throughout California.
I believe that the therapeutic process is about supporting humans in remembering, cultivating, and living into their full humanity - into who they really are. Despite the fact that life and the systems we live in make it very difficult to remember that we are already whole, worthy, and good enough, I believe that the right questions, gentle reminders, and holding sacred space can lead us to our own answers, and to the innate wisdom that lies underneath the stories that have been piled on top. As a psychotherapist and yoga teacher, I invite pain, discomfort, and repressed emotions to come to the surface and be experienced, witnessed, and let go of in a safe and nonjudgmental setting, while remaining sensitive to and curious about each of our unique lived experiences, external environments, and access to social support. When we remember, reconnect and open to the wonder and awe of who we truly are, we move out into the world wise and free.
“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And in between the two my life flows.” -N. Maharaj
