Does this sound familiar?
Maybe you’ve reached a point where you don’t know who you are anymore.
Perhaps you’re recovering from a painful relationship, healing from trauma or abuse, navigating a major life change, grieving someone or something you’ve lost, or even grieving the childhood, family, or life you wish you had. Maybe you’ve spent so long adapting, achieving, or holding everything together that somewhere along the way, you lost touch with yourself.
You may have learned early on to pay attention to everyone else by reading the room, keeping the peace, and putting your own needs aside. Those patterns can follow you into adulthood as people-pleasing, second-guessing yourself, losing yourself in relationships, or finding yourself drawn into familiar dynamics even when you know they hurt. At work, you might overachieve, push yourself past exhaustion, or feel like nothing you accomplish is ever quite enough.
On the inside, you might feel anxious, disconnected, constantly on edge, have trouble sleeping, feel emotionally exhausted, or haunted by experiences you thought you had already moved past.
You want relief. You want to sleep better, quiet the anxiety, feel safer in your body, have fewer distressing memories, feel more present in your relationships, and actually have the energy to enjoy your life.
But maybe what you really want is to feel like yourself again.
To understand yourself. To trust yourself and your own needs. To experience relationships without abandoning yourself in them. To create a life that feels authentically your own.
You don’t have to have all of it figured out before you begin.
This is a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood.

Meet Jill
I believe healing happens when people feel deeply understood. I'm a UCSF-trained, board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who works with women who have experienced trauma, loss, difficult relationships, major life changes, or periods of feeling disconnected from themselves.
My approach to psychiatry is relational and deeply personal. I know what it’s like to reach a point in life where the person you’ve been and the life you’ve built no longer feels like who you are. My own experiences of questioning my identity and finding my way back to myself have shaped the kind of clinician I’ve become and the care I wanted to create.
That’s why I take the time to understand not only your symptoms, but your story, relationships, strengths, and lived experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel deeply understood while we build care that is collaborative, evidence-based, and truly individual to you.
Our appointments are intentionally longer and designed to give you the time and space to slow down and to understand not only your symptoms, but the context of your life. Together, we'll explore what's contributing to your symptoms, discuss treatment options, and develop a plan that reflects your goals, values, and preferences. Care may include medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions, nervous system support, or a combination of these.
The treatment plan matters, but so does the therapeutic relationship we build together. It can become a place where greater safety, trust, and new ways of understanding yourself begin to grow. Over time, that understanding can create space for a deeper relationship with yourself, more authentic relationships with others, and a life that feels more fully your own.

The Soulfloria Philosophy
Healing happens across every dimension
Mental health is shaped by more than brain chemistry alone. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, relational, existential, and spiritual aspects of your life to better understand what's contributing to your symptoms and what supports meaningful, lasting healing.
Every symptom has a story
Symptoms are important, but they rarely tell the whole story. Rather than asking only, how do we reduce this symptom? We’ll also explore: what is this symptom trying to tell us?
Together, we’ll look at your relationships, life experiences, strengths, values, and patterns to better understand what’s beneath the surface. That understanding allows us to create a treatment plan that is individualized, and grounded in who you are.
The Story Behind Soulfloria
The name Soulfloria was inspired by two ideas: soul—the deepest, most authentic parts of who we are beyond survival patterns —and floria, from florere (to bloom). Soulfloria represents the blooming of the soul into its fullest, most authentic expression. That journey begins in the fertile soil of your life story, even the tangled roots, and unfolds through curiosity, safety, compassion, and connection. Together they reflect my belief that even in the aftermath of struggle, we all have an innate capacity to reconnect with ourselves and flourish.
Many of us learn to survive life's challenges. While survival is necessary, it isn't where healing ends. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving and toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, meaningful, and authentically yours.
