Therapists for Teens in Oakland, CA
Teen girls who have lost their spark and want to reconnect with their resilient selves to enjoy life again.
Anxiety? Check. Perfectionism? Double check. You’ve gotten a long way thanks to your hard-driving mind, but lately living inside your brain has been a struggle. Your inner critic constantly picks apart every interaction. Painful memories keep resurfacing, despite your efforts to push them away. Daily invalidations of your queer, Latina, or immigrant identity sting, and loneliness creeps in as you keep your struggles to yourself. You’ve tried everything: drinking, doom scrolling, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling weighed down and hopeless.

In addition to working with adults and couples, I have 15 years experience working with adolescent youth from various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
Often when an individual or couple is seeking out a therapist they're in the midst of a significant transition or challenge that can feel overwhelming. Paradoxically, I believe this is often the time in which the greatest change is possible. By exploring issues through a multi-layered approach, we will identify the deeper truths and lessons these challenges are presenting. By lending tools and feedback, I assist my clients in having a different relationship with their challenges; thus moving away from constriction into conscious growth and empowerment.

My practice is informed by modern, evidence-based methods of therapy as well as spiritual wisdom from Zen Buddhism, Judaism, and the teachings of the yoga masters.

Accepting new teen and adult clients, relationships, and families in person in Pasadena, Los Angeles and virtual via telehealth.
We all need to be seen & witnessed. Whatever it is that feels too hard—be it exploring identity, navigating attachment wounds, combating obsessional sequences, or processing the collective grief in the world—one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself is dedicated time just for you & your needs. I would be honored to walk with you on your path. For me, therapy is relational. The human on the other side of the room (or screen) should feel like precisely that: a human! Together, we will create a container in which you can authentically examine your relationships with others as well as the pivotal relationship to self.

My experience has been in collaborating with adolescent, adult, and older adult clients challenged by depression, anxiety, grief and loss, identity development, mood disorders, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Often, the clients that find their way to me are Black, Indigenous, and other men of color looking to process and work through anxiety or depression, questions of sexuality and gender, burnout and stress, and concerns related to how they show up in the world as men. In my practice, I support teens and adults in unpacking, making sense of, and growing from their past and present life challenges. We work together to re-author limiting narratives, uncover hidden strengths, and build resilience. I also work with couples and others in relationships seeking to disrupt dysfunctional patterns, improve communication, and enhance connection.

When your teen is struggling it can be confusing and bewildering.
I am particularly good at helping people with difficulties and dissatisfactions in their relationships; relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and with romantic partners, or lack thereof. Many of these relationships come down to how we interact with ourselves. What we want and need to feel safe, happy, secure and interested. If you are struggling in relationships I can help you clarify your feelings and needs and think about how to get more of what you want. My approach is compassionate, engaging, warm, intelligent, gently direct, and infused with humor when appropriate.
