I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating life transitions, trauma recovery, and significant life events. Many of my clients are coping with anxiety, depression, relational challenges, or the impact of acute or complex trauma. I offer a space to deepen self-awareness, stay action-oriented toward meaningful change, and reconnect with your values, goals, and sense of self.
My approach is relational, strengths-based, and psychodynamic, with an emphasis on the body’s role in healing. I integrate Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness-based practices to support nervous system regulation and embodied insight.

My work involves collaborating with individuals and couples on their own personal recipes for life satisfaction and what their lives will look like when the "problem" is no longer a problem. I try to carefully separate the "problem" from the person, who is often doing the best he or she can, so we can identify strengths, resiliencies, and resources that allow clients to construct a life worth living and a relationship worth celebrating. This does not mean ignoring difficult issues or painful areas, but it is important to know at the outset how we will know therapy has been successful.

You feel like something is off but you're not exactly sure why. Your mind races and you feel stressed most of the time. You have a hard time slowing down and feeling connected with yourself as well as other people in your life. These statements describe the experience of many clients that I work with. I specialize in helping people who feel anxious, disconnected, or just "off." If you experience general anxiety, panic attacks, agitation, or disconnection from yourself or others, then I may be able to help you feel less alone and more settled in your life.

If you are suffering with food & body image issues, issues of self-esteem & self-worth, relationship issues or dealing with trauma, I can help you. There are so many women who feel as though they are not enough. They believe that they somehow have to be better, look different, lose weight, be a whole different person to have a good relationship and a happy life. They beat themselves up constantly and are always trying to change. Do you understand this feeling? If so, I can help you have a loving relationship with yourself and settle into who you really are.

When challenges, pain and loss insist themselves into our lives, we are left with two options. We can work hard to protect ourselves, harden up, soldier through and try our best not to get hurt again. Or we can feel our way through the breaking down, we can get curious, and allow ourselves to soften and move into our broken heartedness. Sometimes it seems as though we have a choice about whether to move forward in our lives. And then there are those times when it's clear we can't continue in the same way.

I imagine life is feeling harder than it should. Perhaps you're overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or reacting strongly to small things and don’t know why. Maybe you are feeling anxious, numb, or constantly on edge. Or maybe you are dealing with past experiences that keep interrupting your life. You are not alone. Even though it can sometimes feel hopeless or far off, there is a path forward to start healing the root of these challenges, carry less tension, and feel more safe and present in your life. You deserve a compassionate space where you can be seen, understood, and supported as you seek relief and wholeness.

I see therapy as an opportunity to have a new kind of relationship, a relationship in which you come to know yourself in a new way. In therapy we work together to uncover and make sense of confusing or conflicting desires, thoughts, and feelings. With understanding, awareness, and the practicing of new skills comes the freedom and capacity to make conscious choices, relate to difficult feelings and situations differently, and change entrenched patterns or habits that are no longer working for you. Many people come to see me after years of trying to "feel better" or "fix things" on their own. You don't have to do this alone.

I hold psychotherapy as a devotional practice. In the weekly ritual of therapy, I hold space for a creative and playful exploration of the psyche. Through a continuous commitment and recommitment to presence and curiosity, we open the way for the unknown to be transformed into meaning. This opening is a portal into intergenerational healing work, where energy can return to us as we reconnect with our roots and unearth our true Selves.

Do you recognize some of these ways in which your or others' unhealthy anger gets expressed? Verbal abuse (yelling, cursing, insulting making threats, getting in people's faces). Emotional abuse (criticizing, putting down, intimidating). Physical aggression (hitting, shoving, slapping, kicking, choking, forcing sex). Property damage (breaking things, slamming doors, throwing objects). Internalization (stuffing feelings, seething, developing health problems, doing self-harm). Externalization (blaming others including intimate partners, bosses, co-workers, family, friends, the legal system).

Anxiety, sadness, anger, regret are natural and human, but when one is stuck thinking and feeling these ways, something is wrong. If you are stuck, repeating the same kinds of experiences, or if there has been an unmanageable disruption in your life, I have been in practice helping people in similar situations for more than 30 years. Through talking and thinking together to deeply understand your experience, we discover and create new ways for you to think and act in the world. Your sense of self and of life expand, opening up space in which to move, breathe and grow.

We all want to be understood, accepted and loved; this can only happen through honest communication. Making the decision to seek help for you or your family can be part of that communication. I provide a safe space to explore, discuss and process important issues that affect the lives of you and your family members. I have an eclectic approach to providing psychotherapy. As one size does not fit all, therapy cannot be approached in the same way for everyone. It must be tailored to the specific needs, issues and problems that each person uniquely presents.

I believe in healing ourselves and each other as the first step toward healing our planet. My intention as a therapist is to guide people toward empowerment and healing in order to live their fullest and most joyful lives possible. I believe that we all have this capacity within us, and therapy can help us to move through our past trauma, oppressive social conditioning, anxieties and other stresses to be our best selves.

I see individuals and couples in my peaceful and beautifully furnished office in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland. I strive to create a comfortable, accepting and encouraging space, since the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is essential to the work.

It isn't difficult to feel scared, vulnerable and not good enough in our complex world, let alone if you have a history of being abused or neglected. Therapy can help you slowly make sense of the past so that you can encounter the present moment with more awareness and vigor. I am psychotherapist with an abiding love of the arts and often work with sensitive and creative individuals, many of whom have histories of abuse/neglect and are struggling to make sense of their past and present lives in order to find a greater sense of freedom/comfort within their own skins.

Many of my clients are seeking more clarity, vitality, and connection in their lives. Some start therapy to develop more self-confidence and self-acceptance, or to address challenges coming up at work or at school. I have a special interest in working with neurodivergent people (including ADHD, autism, learning differences, sensory sensitivities, etc.). I offer a space of curiosity and affirmation to support all clients in a process of growth, learning, and healing. We may explore questions about your inner world and relational patterns as well as the cultural and sociopolitical context in which you are finding your way.

When personally challenged, you might draw on strategies that help you through without helping you grow. When heard and valued, the human spirit is resilient in sometimes surprising ways. I work collaboratively with you, respecting and listening for your particular and unique challenges and potential. I help you to cultivate as well as practice what needs to be developed and integrated in your life. I consider my own study of psychotherapy to be a lifelong practice and work with somatic and relational principles. I welcome you to bring your concerns. I am committed to bring the skills and training of my years in this work.
