Therapists in Dimond District, Oakland, CA
I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY27401) who works systemically, with children, adolescents, adults, and families. When one person is struggling, it not only impacts the individual but the individual's interpersonal relationships, as well. I strive to help you grow as an individual while strengthening intimacy and closeness with others. I utilize a strength-based approach to help you identify your personal goals, achieve self-awareness, and make the changes you feel are necessary. I believe therapy is a collaborative process to help you better understand yourself and find the best version of you.

Children and teens are more aware of their own internal states and the world around them than ever before, while the family unit takes on more stress. This combination can create anxiety, depression, acting out behaviors, confusion, and educational struggles for many. Through a strength-based perspective I focus on communication, relationships, boundaries, and self-care. I work with youth (and families) to explore their patterns of interactions with others and encourage self-awareness and growth in these areas. Developing a relationship with a child or teen takes time and care, both of which I have done for nearly twenty years.

Sometimes, you reach a point where the coping strategies that used to help just don’t work anymore. You might feel overwhelmed, out of control, constantly weighed down by worry, self-doubt, or even physical pain. Maybe you've spent years being highly attuned to others’ emotions and needs, while your own have been left behind. Sleepless nights, forgotten passions, and strained relationships have become familiar but unwanted parts of your life. But now, you're ready for something different. You’re ready to take care of yourself in a new way.

You might be carrying the weight of past trauma, struggling with self-doubt, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You want to feel more grounded, more present, and more at home in your own skin. You’re seeking healing, clarity, and a sense of wholeness, but you’re not sure where to start.

I believe that the first step towards change is acceptance; therefore, I strive to create a non-judgmental space, one that views many "symptoms" as coping mechanisms that made sense at some point but have since outgrown their usefulness. When we can view ourselves with compassion, we can then challenge ourselves to examine thought and behavior patterns that may be keeping us stuck and learn to move beyond them. An important part of this work is getting in touch with our core values and finding ways to remain in alignment with them as we move towards our goals.
