I offer sessions virtually throughout California and in person at my Oakland office starting April 2026.
You're thoughtful, motivated, probably pretty self-aware. And yet something keeps nagging — a pattern you can't quite break, a feeling that despite everything you've built, something essential is missing. If you are here, something isn’t working.
Or maybe you feel hopeless and want help finding a way forward. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship difficulties.
Maybe you're dealing with creative blocks or questions of identity. Or maybe you've done all the "right" things and still feel empty. Whatever brought you here, there is hope.
You don't have to figure it out alone.

My practice is informed by the interconnectedness of all things, especially the relationship between mind, body, and spirit (or soul), and the interrelationships between beings. I am influenced by Western psychological theories, as well as holistic, ancestral, and indigenous wellness rituals from around the world. I specialize in grief and loss, particularly death and dying, and the emotional and spiritual work surrounding other significant transitions, rites of passage, and life cycles. This includes work around the end of life, pregnancy loss, traumatic birthing processes, and plant (or fungi) spirit medicine integration.

People turn to therapy when they are in too much emotional pain, stuck in intractable situations with intimate partners or at work, or acting in ways that are self-destructive or harmful to others. When other solutions have not worked, therapy offers a chance to address and change outmoded ways of being. The therapeutic relationship is key to this work. It offers the possibility of exploring new ways of relating to ourselves and others that can lead to a richer and more fulfilling life. The therapist must provide a place of safety and be a partner in this process.

I specialize in relational trauma and attachment therapy through a feminist lens.

You’re a capable, driven, and successful professional or student—but inside you may feel anxious, burnt out, or stuck in perfectionism and overthinking. As a therapist in Oakland, I work with high-achieving adults who feel pressure to get everything “right,” struggle to relax, or find that their relationships aren’t meeting their needs. Therapy can help you create more ease, self-trust, and connection—without losing your ambition.

I see clients in-person and virtually.
We all want to feel seen, heard, accepted and affirmed. I support people who are in transition, who are working to define their relationships more clearly, and people who are struggling with issues of identity and sexuality, with a particular focus on polyamory and consensual non-monogamy. I believe we can dismantle behavior and reactions that no longer serve us through self-reflection and challenging entrenched habitual communication. I use narrative techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, and parts work to build acceptance, compassion, and presence in oneself.

I offer therapy in-person in a cozy, ADA accessible office or online via video.
We live in a world that encourages us to ignore, override, and forget our experience. Therapy provides a space for deep self-inquiry where we can learn to become aware and accepting of all parts of ourselves. With curiosity and reflection, I want to support you to explore and understand your experience. When we explore what’s happening for us internally, our beliefs, and the unmet needs we carry, and when we can bring curiosity, care, and increased awareness, then new possibilities open up. We find ways to relate to ourselves and the world with more balance, ease, and belonging.

Are self defeating behaviors preventing you from experiencing true joy and fulfilment in your life? Maybe guilt, embarrassment and shame underpin the need to cover up and sometimes live a lie to get by. It can feel like no one will understand but then the weight eventually becomes too heavy to carry.

I offer in-person sessions with specialized SE touch work and virtual options for nervous system healing.
You're accomplished on paper but find yourself stuck in familiar patterns: anxiety that hijacks your body during conflicts, people-pleasing that leaves you depleted, or an attraction to emotionally unavailable partners. Perhaps you're a mother who wants to break generational patterns, healing your own attachment wounds to create security for your child. You recognize that traditional talk therapy hasn't accessed what your body has been trying to tell you—those physical sensations during triggers aren't just thoughts but nervous system patterns ready to be transformed.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
