About Me

I provide in-person individual therapy in Oakland, California and telehealth throughout California. My background is in psychology, anthropology and education. I love learning about what motivates us, what touches us, what makes us feel accepted, what gives us a sense of agency and what gets in the way of feeling like we belong.

 

I approach therapy from an existential lens. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to explore conditions of challenge, pain, emotion and choice, in all aspects of life - individually, within friendships and partnerships, in families, at work, in communities and in existence. I find having space to explore  triggering, fulfilling, difficult, or simply new life circumstances to be incredibly beneficial to self-awareness, self-compassion and growth. Even though it can be challenging, making space for ourselves  teaches us great skills, including greater self-awareness, improved self-trust, better communication, connection, and resilience. I want to work with you to connect to what's fulfilling and make meaningful changes, no matter how small they may seem.
