I welcome individual adults, parenting couples and teens into my private practice. My clients often wish to discuss improving their mood, increasing performance at work/school, identifying problems in relationships, exploring their gender identity and establishing healthy screen time/social media habits. With all clients, my initial goal is to offer a safe, non-judgemental space in which we can discover what facets of life most impact them, and how. The goal of my therapies is always to unravel with clients how they arrived in the stressful circumstances they currently inhabit, and how to work on reducing emotional pain.

Are you struggling? Are you feeling you have to withdraw from the world or you've lost some of the spark for living? Maybe you consider yourself unconventional in some way. You may feel like it's hard both to be yourself and to get the support you need, as if the message others are giving is "You can be your authentic self or you can have their compassion and understanding, but you can have both." Maybe this has lead to feeling isolated or like others can't truly understand what you're going through. Therapy can help.

We all endure challenges and hardships, from small wounds to larger traumas. Therapy should be a safe space to explore the parts of your life that are causing distress - a place to integrate different parts of your self, to gain self-awareness, and to process difficult things.

I work with you to meet your needs and goals, whether that’s space to process, or a launchpad to get organized and reengaged in your life. I use both evidence-based and wholistic methods, gathered from two decades of therapeutic work. I especially value mindfulness, experiential, humanistic, and strength-based traditions. I stay present and attuned to what comes up in the moment with you, engaging collaboratively.

Feeling anxious or depressed is a reasonable reaction to the unreasonable levels of stress that young people deal with. My work is aimed at helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I'm not here to tell you that you need to change. You might have behaviors you want to change, and I will support and assist for sure, but it's important that you know that your core self is whole and loveable, just the way you are. The work in therapy is about going from knowing that to believing it in your bones.

I have 20 years of experience with diverse populations of all ages. I am a trauma informed somatic psychotherapist. I utilize relational inquiry to explore disruptions in body, mind, emotions and spirit, a depth process that allows for the experience of insight, positive shifts, integration and embodied transformation of suffering caused by negative, internal states, patterns and distorted beliefs of early environmental &/or relational failure. I invite the journey of uncovering one's true self with safety, self-regulation, mindful self-inquiry, an expansion of agency and life affirming realizations that promote healing and growth.

I specialize in working with young adults ages 16-30 as they navigate the exciting, yet often stressful transitions within early adulthood. Many of my clients have experienced trauma and find that this impacts their relationships, school, work, and general sense of self. This can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting yourself. These feelings can impact all relationships, but many encounter challenges when dating and getting involved in romantic relationships, as they may experience attachment concerns, intimacy challenges, and difficulty choosing good partners.

I also provide family therapy, parent consultation and support, and consultation to schools.

People usually seek me out because they’re having trouble managing some combination of stress, depression, and relationship issues. Sometimes, after a little digging, I discover that many of these same people have quietly endured trauma—life-altering tragedies like child abuse, emotional neglect, or sexual violence. Others underestimate the traumatic impact of emotional abuse, bullying, or navigating the challenges of social inequity and prejudice. This layering of traumas big and small is known as complex trauma.

In addition to extensive training, I have many years of experience providing care for those in need here in the Bay Area.

We believe in everyone should be given access to the resources to set them for success. Many people with ADHD have been suffering from low work performance and strained relationships with coworkers. There’s even the potential of getting fired from work without knowing they have a mental disorder. That’s where we think Done can help and change one’s life in a meaningful way.

I am a teletherapist providing psychotherapy across the general Bay area, expanding across California. Are you feeling stuck? Sometimes not taking action highlights the familiarity in your situation, although it can be life interfering and soul-sucking. You might be a child of immigrant parents navigating various identities and juggling multiple roles, adjusting to parenthood, feeling stagnant or burnt out in your professional career, healing from a broken relationship or experiencing grief, suffering from imposter syndrome, or … you name it! We can find ways to help you make changes.

I am passionate about helping you explore what’s getting in the way of being your full self and having the connections you want. I provide psychotherapy to adult individuals, couples, and more than couples from a place of open-mindedness, curiosity, and sex-positivity, and an awareness that our lives and relationships don’t always unfold as expected. People who work well with me include those with liminal identities that may not fit neatly into boxes and who may feel like outsiders in some spaces.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
