Within all of us, there is a longing and deep knowing that life could be different, that our relationships could be different. More peaceful. More empowered. More balanced. I want to help you experience your life at its fullest! That could mean slowing down and finding your pace; getting to know your body as a resource; setting more appropriate boundaries; identifying and expressing your wants and needs; understanding and alleviating trauma symptoms; building deeper, more intimate connections; or simply needing a refuge to rest and reflect, space for the new you to unfold.

These are things I can help you with. I practice somatic, relational, and experiential psychotherapy, which may include working with the experience of your body, therapeutic touch and/or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. These powerful methods have been shown to cut through speech and story to help relieve symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression, help you feel more at home in your body, and come into fuller, more alive ways of being in relationship.

My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I am here to be with you. To support you and bear witness to your transformation. Part of my job as your therapist will be to help you uncover and align with your deepest longings and impulses towards thriving and wholeness. At the same time, we exist in contexts that can feel quite fragile at times. In that way, our work will center your immediate experience and take into account what’s up for you today and what is most needed in this moment.

I work with individuals and couples, focusing on bringing more awareness, acceptance, and compassion to yourself and your relationships. People have worked with me to explore such things as anxiety and depression; sexuality, gender, and identity transitions; relationships and boundaries; social challenges; childhood trauma & PTSD; and so much more.

Please text, email, or call with questions or if this sounds like a good fit for you! I am currently accepting new clients for in-person work in Oakland as well as telehealth/online psychotherapy anywhere in California. Limited sliding scale options may be available.
