I'm offering in person sessions for individuals and couples in Oakland. I am a relational psychotherapist with anti-oppression, social justice and trauma informed practices. I believe a warm and supportive connection between a client and a therapist can be a powerful catalyst for growth and healing. I view people as their whole selves, holding the connection between the mind, body and spirit in our work together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I'll gather information about you, your strengths, support network and desired goals for our time together. I am client centered and collaborate with you in reaching your goals. I see myself as a guide, not the expert in the room, because I believe the wisdom and truth you seek innately lies within you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a social worker with 24 years of experience in the field I have a deep commitment to social justice. My work experiences range from youth empowerment, community organizing, policy and advocacy work, community based mental health and working towards racial and gender equity in the field of technology.
