Therapists for Children in Albany, CA
I love working with adults, children, and teens from diverse sociocultural backgrounds and exploring how identity shapes experience.
I have over 20 years of experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relational problems, foster care/adoption, gender identity, attachment, grief, neurodivergence, and more. I use warmth, humor, and an open, non-judgmental approach to develop collaborative relationships where meaningful, healing work can occur.

I am trauma-informed, with twenty years of experience working with adults, children and families.
In working with trauma, I use modalities such as Internal Family Systems (Level 2 trained), EMDR, (EMDRIA certified consultant) and Somatic Experiencing. As a Somatic Therapist, I help my clients cultivate internal resources, grounded both in body awareness, as well as the practice of noticing parts of the self that hold unaddressed wounding.

I have worked with children of all ages, couples and individuals and believe that life transitions offer great opportunity for growth and change in a therapeutic setting.

People seek therapy for many reasons, often it is when they are confronted by a challenging life circumstance or interested in resolving familiar issues or breaking destructive patterns. Whatever your reason for wanting therapy at this time, chances are you would like to feel happier more of the time.

Or noticed your child or teen is overwhelmed, withdrawn, or struggling to adapt to a new school or peer group?
I tailor our work to the unique needs of each life stage and always work at your pace. I use an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to understand the intricate parts of who you are, and incorporate CBT and DBT skill building for day-to day management. My approach is strengths-based, relational, and direct, which clients report as warm and clarifying.

You might be a teen or adult needing help working through life's challenges, a couple navigating your relationship or preparing for children, or a parent seeking support for your child or with parent coaching.
I am broadly trained and adjust my approach based on the needs of each client. In my treatment of teens and adults, I draw on Humanistic or Client-Centered therapy, Attachment theory, mindfulness, and parts work. I'm trained in SPACE therapy (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-based treatment for childhood anxiety.

I support people struggling with trauma, anxiety, and difficulty in relationships. This might look like having a strong inner critic part; feeling stuck in old patterns; perpetually betraying yourself to please others. You may have been noticing signs that you're ready for things to change, even if you don't know where to start. Maybe you resonate with descriptions like sensitive, deep feeler or deep thinker, outsider/other. You're ready to look honestly and authentically at how your internal and external landscapes shape your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Keywords: sensitive, perfectionist, queer, mixed race, biracial, trauma

Therapy is a collaboration. I am present and relational in my work. I believe each person is innately their own expert and I am here to help that person tap into their own truths. I get to know you from a place of non-judgement. I listen to what symptoms are troubling you and will teach you skills to help relieve the suffering. Together we develop short term goals that build upon the strengths that you may have temporarily not been able to see. The long term goal is not to be in therapy forever, but for you to have the tools to thrive in your life!

I specialize in working with young children, caregivers, adults, and birthing people.
I work collaboratively with adults to explore how their cultural background and early experiences shape their current relationship patterns. This understanding helps them become more confident, reduce anxiety and depression, and foster stronger connections in their relationships.

Todos pasamos por momentos dificiles en nuestras vidas, pero el como nos ajustamos y lo que aprendemos de esas experiencias, es lo que nos ayudara a volver a sentir la capacidad, inspiracion y fortaleza para sobrellevar las diferentes etapas de nuestra vida.
