About the Therapist

Helping people find healing, belonging, and deep rest through therapy, community, and mind-body-spirit practice.

My Approach to Helping

My approach blends evidence-based psychotherapy with trauma-informed somatic practices, including Brainspotting, IFS Parts Work, mindful art, intuitive yoga, and Yoga Nidra (guided deep rest healing). This work is gentle, practical, and follows your pace, so you can feel supported and empowered. I am also trained in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, with a current focus on Ketamine + therapy facilitation, which can take your healing to the next level.

Specific Issues I'm Skilled at Helping With

As a California-licensed psychotherapist and yoga teacher, I work with people navigating anxiety, pregnancy/postpartum, life transitions, trauma recovery, relationship and spiritual challenges, as well as people who are seeking more than talk therapy alone. Together, we focus on helping you naturally improve sleep, reconnect with your body, and find creativity, calm and focus in your daily life.

My Role as a Therapist

My role is to co-create with you a supportive oasis where you can slow down and reconnect with your own natural healing intelligence beyond the cognitive brain. Slowing down the chattering brain and attuning to your subtle cues can shed light on the story behind the symptoms and guide you toward deeper layers of healing. I believe that laughter, creativity, and joy have a space in the therapy room as much as the difficult emotions. My goal is to provide you with therapy that is focused, effective, and balances mindful exploration with practical tools.

Additional Information About my Practice

In addition to individual therapy, I also offer nature-based group events, and experiential retreats, as well as and deep rest healing meditations through my podcast, Na'aleh Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest+. If this speaks to you, feel free to reach out!
