Are you struggling with experiencing high levels of anxiety, depression, and feelings of overwhelm? I am an empathic, non-judgmental, and genuinely curious therapist who draws from several creative, supportive, and deeply introspective modalities to help people address blocks, wounds, and other life challenges wisely and compassionately. My goal as a therapist is to help you become more aware of your wholeness, your inner wisdom, and inherent abilities to heal, so that you might create for yourself a life imbued with meaning, purpose, wonder, healthy relationships, and spiritual well-being.
My psychetherapeutic orientation is ecclectic and holistic. Gestalt, Depth, Somatic, Psychodynamic, Strengths-Based, Solutions-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, Expressive Arts, Archetypal (Jungian) and Transpersonal approaches. In addition to these more traditional psychotherapies I offer space for reflection, contemplation, meditation, and ritual.
Whether you are navigating a life transition, struggling with self-esteem, or seeking a deeper spiritual connection, I provide a space where your experience is celebrated and your healing is a collaborative journey

Groups
Ecotherapy Group (Currently Not Occuring)
This ongoing group is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in taking their process outdoors-into the beautiful oak, bay, and redwood forests of the Oakland hills. This group is for those who would like a respite from the bustle and hustle of the city, in need of time and space to slow down and reconnect with your self, strengthen your mindfulness practice, and process the challenges in your life with the guidance of nature and a licensed ecotherapist.
