With nearly 28 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I’ve learned that finding the right therapist is much like finding the right pair of shoes—it needs to feel like a good fit. When that fit is right, it creates the foundation for meaningful self-exploration and growth. My work is grounded in a strength-based approach: together, we explore the challenges that bring you to therapy while also nurturing the parts of your life that bring joy, resilience, and fulfillment. As Dr. Seuss so wisely said, “Life is a great balancing act,” and therapy can be a space to help you find that balance.

My clients are adults across Oakland, the East Bay, and California who are quietly carrying more than they should have to. They come in navigating anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, life transitions, and trauma; often having pushed through for a long time before reaching out. Many are Black women and people of color who have felt unseen or underserved by traditional mental health systems. They may not have the words yet for what's wrong, only the feeling that something needs to change. What brings them to Cloud Chiron Therapy is a flicker of hope that it doesn't have to stay this way.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
