Meet Olivia

I help individuals struggling with a loud inner critic, anxiety, disordered eating, perfectionism, and rigidity to live a life of freedom and joy aligned with their personal values. I support folks who have experienced different forms of trauma in finding safety in relationships and working through barriers that may be keeping them from accessing the life they want. I’m curious about how early life experiences shape our sense of self and inner narratives. I’ll work with you to explore the parts of you that arose in response to unmet needs or trauma and how these parts show up for you today.

Interests

Outside of work, I love running and hiking by the Pacific Ocean and through Golden Gate Park, walking and playing with my sweet rescue dog, Circe, cooking delicious vegetarian meals, searching for the most delicious bakeries in San Francisco, writing poetry, reading lots and lots of fiction, and spending time with friends and family.
