Clients describe me as relaxed, funny, and able to challenge them as needed. Clients indicate that they appreciate the warmth and attention I provide.
Working from a bottom-up approach, therapy with me is about healing and recovery from past wounds and negative experiences in order to live a rich and fulfilling life going forward. I primarily use a modality called Brainspotting.
Clients bring whatever issues are distressing them that results in symptoms of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, or traumatic events/extremely negative experiences. I help couples reconnect and rejuvenate their relationships.
I work with people who want to transform their lives into more fulfilling, stable, less chaotic, and delightful lives. People work towards healing, not just symptom reduction or mean-making. Real and lasting change is experienced in the process.
I truly enjoy working with people and it is always great to experience people's healing, recovery and growth to become the person they desire to be.
My office has parking which is a big deal the Oakland/SF area. I also offer virtual/online therapy.
I provide high quality psychotherapy services with a relaxed yet intentional focus on clients. This is about your healing and recovery. It is not just about the past but also where you would like to go in the future.
