my approach
How I work
What is Gestalt?
Gestalt is an experiential approach to self-awareness. We pay attention to what is happening in the present — your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, patterns and relationships — so you can understand yourself more clearly and make choices that feel more intentional.
In practice, that means real conversation, not advice or a formula. You bring what's going on in your life; we look at it together.
What a session feels like
50 minutes
Online or in person in the South Bay by request. A quiet room and a cup of tea are enough.
You set the topic
We start with whatever matters most to you that week.
Something to take with you
You leave with a clearer view of what's happening and what you want next.
Who I usually work with
- Breakups, divorce, or changing relationships
- Relocation and starting over
- Career or identity shifts
- Burnout and feeling overwhelmed
- Feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself
- Uncertainty about what you want next
When another kind of support may fit better
I want to be honest — Gestalt consulting is not the right first step for everyone. If any of the below applies, please seek local specialist care, and I'm happy to help you find the right direction.
- Acute crisis or thoughts of self-harm
- Court-ordered assessments or evaluations
- Substance use as a primary concern
