Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Berkeley, CA
I use multiple therapeutic modalities including EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Mindful Self-Compassion to help people discover values, set goals, and live with vitality.
I believe people are inherently oriented to heal and grow. Sometimes on the healing journey we need support to navigate difficult transitions, especially if old traumas are clouding our current vision. My role as a psychologist is to accompany you on your personal path. I welcome people with all types of concerns. I am especially experienced in treating people struggling with trauma, eating and body image issues, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, life transitions, relationship and parenting issues.

We learn to survive and cope with our circumstances in the best way we know how at the time. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and get to know what is really going on inside and to learn to listen to your body's natural wisdom. I am interested in collaborating with you to explore where you're feeling stuck, confused or overwhelmed. I can help guide you to discover new, more effective ways of showing up for yourself and in your relationships. My own love of nature and mindfulness meditation practice informs much of my work with clients.

Therapy rooted in mindfulness and self compassion can help.
Your deepest desire is to find peace with food. Each day is a new battle with yourself and your relationship to food. High tension, anxiety, and fear are ever present. The only way you know how to handle these feelings is through food. You restrict to manage your anxiety for the day. Or you binge eat as a way of numbing out the unwanted feelings. Here’s the thing, it doesn’t have to be this way. I can tell you that there IS a way out. I’ve done it, and helped many do the same. And that is why I am passionate about helping you realize the same is true for you.

I work holistically blending Somatic work and Mindfulness, Attachment, Narrative Therapy and solution focused skills.
Therapy can be a safe space to process life's major transitions and what feels out of your control. I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker, and my goal is to provide a safe space to process, speak and share your truth, and encourage holistic growth. I believe healing begins from the inside out. I specialize in working with: Black, Indigenous, POC, LGBTQ+, Queer, and marginalized/spectrum identities; new mothers/parents, and college students. As a Black Therapist, I aim to fill the gap in representation and cultural barriers in mental health.

I use a TEAM-CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approach and integrate ACT and mindfulness based methods.
At times we may find we are struggling to cope with our problems or effectively manage feelings. Maybe you are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or you could be finding yourself constantly worried, tired, having trouble sleeping or struggling to connect in your relationships. Perhaps it is just harder to get out of bed and do things, leaving you to feel unmotivated. You may be searching for solutions so you can start feeling better and doing the things you want.

The combination of strong anxiety and strong intellect poses special challenges for those caught in the crosshairs. I help individuals with active, analytical minds to work through anxiety-related problems such as panic, worry, avoidance, and compulsive thoughts or habits. The intersection of eating disorders and anxiety is a special focus of my practice. My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, grounded in both mindfulness and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

The core approaches I apply include depth psychology (Jungian), mindfulness, somatic awareness, imaginal attunement, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.
The reasons leading each of us into therapy are as unique as we are individually, though it usually begins with something that brings challenge or suffering. Even amid the uniqueness of our difficulties, however, there are common patterns that unite us in our humanity. Whatever it is that calls you to therapy, I will meet you in the middle—where your common humanity and utter uniqueness come together. I deeply trust we can work together to bring greatest understanding to your process and support you not only in your healing, but also in the unfolding of your potential—indeed, the two go hand-in-hand.

My approach combines solution-focused and mindfulness-based techniques with humanistic and existentialist ways of thinking about therapy.
Every patient is unique, and so is every therapist. I have lived and practiced therapy in two very different cultures, which has given me insight into culturally specific and universal issues that underlie personal and interpersonal conflicts. I approach every client with acceptance and understanding, providing them with a compassionate space for exploring challenges and obstacles to happiness in themselves and their relationships. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds, seeking to understand each client's worldview and to help them to discover their own solutions to the difficulties they face, including anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts.

My role as a trauma-informed, attachment-oriented and holistic therapist is to support you with therapies like somatics, compassionate self-inquiry, mindfulness, and parts work.
Are you a fellow highly sensitive person? Do you struggle with regulating emotions, anxiety, striking balance, or find yourself stuck in relational patterns that cause anxiety or depression? Maybe you engage in compulsive habits like binge eating, doom scrolling, or other escapist tendencies that draw you away from living with presence. Maybe you struggle with feeling worthy in your relationships or feeling worthy of healing, or struggle to believe that the fulfilling and healthy life you desire is possible. I'm here to support individuals and couples transform patterns created from trauma to a life of freedom, vitality, and ease.

Specialties include (but are not limited to): anxiety, stress reduction, working with women, work/life balance, imposter syndrome, overwhelm, improving confidence, mindfulness & Sport and Performance Consultation for Equestrians.
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for individual adults, especially women, who are struggling with low self-confidence, stress, anxiety, perfectionism, a harsh internal critic and work life balance. I work to help my clients not only address their current symptoms, but also understand where those symptoms are stemming from for enduring, long term change. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I am collaborative, relational and empathic. I most frequently use Relational Psychodynamic Therapy, a Feminist and Narrative perspective, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy & Mindfulness.

In my practice, I integrate a holistic approach to therapy, drawing on the principles of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness.
Even when it seems like we have it all together on the outside, we can often experience feelings of anxiety, sadness, hurt, and a lack of motivation on the inside. Whether you are grappling with issues related to a recent transition or a long-term condition, or just feeling stuck and not sure how to feel better, I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment where you can delve into self-discovery, explore past wounds, and embark on a journey of healing and personal growth. I am LGBTQ affirmative and welcome people from all cultural backgrounds and identities.

I utilize various lenses such as mindfulness, attachment style, various developmental & character models, parts work, and Somatic Experiencing (SE).
Therapy with me involves working with the body as much as the mind. This can be challenging for some, but leads to long-term resolution and healing in a more complete, organic nature. Through Somatic Experiencing (SE), I have been trained to work with various forms of trauma (developmental, event specific, chronic/long-term) and the way in which our survival energy becomes trapped in our bodies. We embody our lived experience.
