Discovering Resilience: Encouraging Healing and Growth

We all have an innate capacity for healing and a deep desire for wellbeing.

From birth, we are all endowed with life energy, playful curiosity, and a dynamic capacity to grow and change. We have resilience biologically encoded in our cells, and we have a “self-righting” tendency embedded in our psychological construct. We want to be well. We want to be okay. We want to be whole.

At some point, most of us struggle with challenging life circumstances. Some of us grapple with life adversity and feel trapped in painful situations. This pain can often be traced to earlier life experiences, especially when we were small and vulnerable. Sometimes, we develop patterns of behavior to cope with these challenges, but then we begin to realize these behaviors are causing even more emotional pain and struggle. At times, we can cope with what life has put in our path, but at other times, it feels overwhelming to face these difficulties alone, and we forget about the resilient healing capacity deep within.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in private practice since 2018, with a convenient office location in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am happy to offer in-person sessions as well as telehealth options (video and phone) to clients throughout California.

From the start of our relationship together, we focus on locating and nurturing the resilient, healing capacity inside you. As we create a space of safety and trust, we work together to allow you to re-experience a deep connection to your core self, which can help you experience more ease, calm, and clarity as you navigate through your life. I welcome the opportunity to start a conversation with you about your personal concerns, questions, and hopes. I look forward to hearing from you.
