Therapy that Moves You
At Stride and Thrive Therapy, we do more than just talk. We move, we breathe, and we tune into the wisdom of your body and the calming rhythm of nature.
You are welcome here—just as you are.
My practice is grounded in compassion and respect for the full spectrum of human experience. I embrace the diverse identities, backgrounds, and life journeys of all my clients. Whether you’re seeking support for healing, growth, or simply a space to be seen and heard without judgment, you are invited to show up fully and authentically. This is a space where your truth is honored.
My Integrative Therapeutic Approach
I offer a holistic and personalized approach to healing, drawing from a blend of evidence-based modalities and mind-body practices. Rooted in psychodynamic therapy, our work may explore early life experiences and unconscious patterns that influence your present. I integrate mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) to help increase self-awareness and support meaningful shifts in thought and behavior. Humanistic and interpersonal theories guide my belief in each person’s inherent capacity for growth and the importance of healing through authentic, compassionate connection. Beyond traditional talk therapy, I incorporate somatic awareness, movement, and time in nature to support deeper emotional regulation and a stronger connection to your body and inner wisdom.
Outdoor & Movement-Based Therapy
Combining talk therapy with gentle physical movement and nature immersion can help you:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Boost mood and energy
- Feel more present and connected
- See your challenges from a new perspective
This integrated model is especially helpful if you’re short on time—because it supports your physical and mental health at once.
Mindfulness & Spiritual Growth
Mindfulness is at the heart of every session. Whether through breathwork, guided meditation, or mindful movement, I’ll help you ground yourself in the present and connect with a deeper sense of purpose. This is also a space for spiritual exploration—whatever that means to you.
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Preparation & Integration
If you’re exploring ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, preparation and integration are essential. I offer individual sessions to help you set intentions, process insights, and make lasting meaning from your experience. As a clinician trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy, I bring care, structure, and grounding to this powerful work.
We work closely with Dr. Parsa at Mind Balance Flow in Livermore for psychedelic-assisted treatment.
Holistic Coaching
If you’re not looking for therapy but still want guidance, I offer coaching sessions that help you set clear goals, make aligned decisions, and move forward with confidence. Whether you're navigating a career change, shifting roles in your personal life, or just feeling stuck, coaching can help you reconnect with what truly matters.
