Somatic Relational
Therapy
Life is messy and beautiful and brutal. I believe our bodies tell us important information and we need to listen to its unspoken voice.
Through my mind-body connection and embodiment practices, clients have unlocked trauma and shame, gained more clarity and creativity to live the life they want to live, and come back their authentic selves. It’s my honor to walk side by side with others through the pain and joy of life; I consider it my calling.
It’s my intention to help you find hope and healing wherever you are at. My approach is an inquiry approach as I feel that we know more than we think we do. If we are able to understand and honor our intuition we are more inline with our true self.

Traditional Talk Therapy
Individual Therapy
Doing your own inner work is so rewarding, life changing and endlessly beneficial. It takes so much courage to reach out for help when you need support or want to go deeper in personal growth. Investing in your soul is THE MOST valuable thing you can give to yourself and to your relationships. My specialties for individual therapy are depression, trauma, and anxiety.
Traditional Talk Therapy
Couples Therapy
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I also specialize in therapy for couples. Whether you’re struggling with communication or connection or navigating divorce, I meet you where you’re at while creating a safe space to explore change and healing.
Traditional Talk Therapy
Virtual Therapy
I reserve a few slots in my private practice for teletherapy sessions. These live video therapy sessions are offered to anyone in the State of California, allowing accessibility and convenience when it’s hard to get into the office. I use a secure HIPAA platform (Simple Practice) to conduct these video sessions.
Experiential Therapy
Ketamine Assisted Therapy
There is expanding research in the mental health community around the impacts of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help eligible patients get unstuck and experience long-lasting improvement in symptoms, particularly those struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, other mental illnesses or those facing a roadblock in their current therapy. Some of the latest studies have shown truly life-changing results for some patients, and I felt compelled to offer KAP to my clients should they want to pursue this avenue of care.

About
Chrissy
I’m a trauma-informed licensed marriage and family therapist #84340. I’m trained in Experiential Therapy (Experiential therapy is a type of therapy that allows clients to use expressive tools, activities, and other methods to heal specific situations from the past and present), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Nonlinear Movement, and EMDR. I consider it my life’s calling to hold space for people on their healing journey.
What makes me unique is that I have been to my own dark places and I’m committed to learning and growing into my fullest self. I spent most of my life trying to be “good enough” not realizing I already was. That distorted thought was rooted deep in my psyche which manifested in: anxiety, panic disorder, depression, anorexia, binge-eating disorder and catastrophic thinking. I love to share my personal story of healing and how I found freedom and released shame around my sensuality, sexuality and fear of death.
I’ve found freedom and healing on the other side of pain and mental health issues and have learned I was never broken.. You’re not broken either… Your courage to heal is evidence of that. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.
