You don’t have to go through this alone.

Therapy is a powerful space to tend to your whole self and tap into not just your feelings, but also your needs, history, identity, fears, and strengths. I am a strong believer that “there are no bad parts, only burdened ones” (Richard Schwartz). I invite you to bring your whole, complicated self to the space and leave any masks at the door. In weekly counseling together, I strive to create a space of curiosity, collaboration, and safety that is tailored to the unique needs of each person.

My approach is grounded in relational-psychodynamic theory (how does your past impact who you are today and your relationships, including with me) and liberation psychology, and guided by trauma-informed practice, attachment theory, narrative therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

The teen and young adult years can be overwhelming, complex, & full of questions around identity, relationships, & how to feel safe in your own skin. I am here supporting and rooting for you through it all as someone who also experienced Zoom school (shudders). In therapy, we will create a soft space for you to land each week in the midst of a turbulent world and time in life. I am firmly dedicated to providing young people with space to express themselves openly and safely.

Let’s take things outside. For those located near Oakland, you have the option of choosing to do therapy outdoors with me at Lake Merritt where we will walk, talk, and enjoy all the benefits of being in nature and in-person.
