Hakomi Method Therapists in Stockton, CA

Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you - there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is permission to your nervous system to experience the safety, support, and connection it may have missed earlier in life. When the body begins to feel safe, many symptoms that once seemed unrelated can begin to make sense. Then you begin to heal and develop into your full potential. I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. I help you make sense of complex experiences that seem disconnected so you can heal into wholeness.

Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and groups across a wide variety of issues, including marriage and relationship counseling, trauma, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, anxiety, and depression. I use mindfulness-based approaches rooted in the Hakomi Method with a focus on attachment and internal family systems. I have an informal style balanced between validating and warm as well as sharp and challenging. I will hold you accountable and help you develop your psychological weaknesses while building up your confidence in your strengths. I offer a free 30-minute consultation.

I have supported hundreds of couples over the past 15+ years and look forward to helping you get yours where you want it to be. Poor communication? Broken trust? Endless arguments? I look forward to hearing from you.

Longing to feel more free in your life, more self accepting, more connected and more powerfully YOU? Let's talk.

I help individuals and couples who feel stuck in their lives, relationships, or intimate lives to slow down, understand what is actually happening, and create meaningful change. My approach is supportive, direct, sex-positive, and non-judgmental. Together, we may work with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship conflict, intimacy concerns, sexual difficulties, or major life transitions while supporting greater self-awareness, connection, authenticity, meaning, and fulfillment.

Stockton has one of the highest rates of poverty and violent crime among California's major cities, and therapists here frequently work with community-level trauma, economic stress, and the psychological effects of chronic violence exposure in a city that faced serious challenges including municipal bankruptcy in 2012. The city is remarkably diverse — with large Hispanic, Cambodian, Filipino, and Hmong communities — making multilingual and culturally informed therapists essential to meaningful mental health access. San Joaquin General Hospital and Dameron Hospital provide institutional resources alongside community clinics serving underserved populations. The University of the Pacific's psychology programs supply some clinical training to the region, though therapist density remains lower than in comparable California cities.
