I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oakland, California. Thirty years of experience enables me to treat a wide range of conditions. Loss and trauma are universal experiences that manifest uniquely in our lives. I seek to help clients ease the suffering of anxiety and depression with a multi-pronged approach.
Assessment questions will be asked, beyond that I am listening for your goal-direction and treatment planning.
Foundationally, I am humanistic, strength-based, and positive psychology influenced, this allows quiet for sanctuary of healing. And if appropriate, we can accelerate the pace of treatment for quicker, somatic relief.
I combine a variety of approaches: psychodynamic, CBT, somatic, and experiential-art. The combination of these techniques' uplifts mind, body and soul; and frees clients from suffering and the feeling of being stuck.
