When we experience severe trauma or life stressors, our lives can start to collapse into a day-to-day struggle. Our normal coping mechanisms and our support systems can start to fail or no longer be enough to help pull us through the difficult time. The truth is, we cannot change our life experiences, but we can search to find solutions to help us overcome depression, addiction, anxiety, relationship difficulties. We can grow and become aware of our own strengths as we face our struggles. Sometimes we need that extra help to aid us in regaining life balance in our journey of self-discovery. As a licensed family therapist with eight years of experience, I am passionate about helping adults navigate & explore complex challenges in order to work towards positive changes that are solution based.

Hi! I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a performance. I bring warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor into the room, and I work best with people who are ready to get curious about themselves, even if they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. Before becoming a therapist, I earned a BFA in Film & Television Production. I especially enjoy working with creatives and folks in non-traditional careers, but I love supporting people from all walks of life. Prior to shifting to telehealth, I worked in residential treatment with individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. That experience deeply shaped my compassionate and non-judgmental approach. My style is collaborative and flexible, drawing from CBT, solution-focused therapy, ACT, and person-centered methods to meet you where you are. Outside of therapy, you can usually find me hanging out with my husband and our dogs, listening to and discovering new music, making playlists, going to shows, making jewelry, passionately cheering on my favorite sports teams, or catching a movie on the big screen. Life can feel like a lot sometimes, and I’m here to help you sort through it at your pace, with no judgment and a little humor when it helps.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Berkeley CA and serving clients statewide via Telehealth. I received my Masters in Integral Counseling from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2019 and my Bachelors in Psychology from Reed College in 2010. I have over 20 years of experience in Community Mental Health, and have been practicing as a therapist since 2018. I am trained as an integrative psychotherapist and work relationally and holistically. I believe all facets of life are naturally interrelated--relational, emotional, physical/physiological, cognitive, cultural, spiritual, societal/political, existential. As such I incorporate insight, orientations and approaches from across the field, including: humanistic, attachment-based/psychodynamic, existential, somatic (Polyvagal, Somatic Experiencing, neuroscience), mindfulness, ACT, DBT, CBT, systems, narrative, gestalt, holistic/spiritual perspectives and wisdom like Buddhism, human needs perspectives like self-determination theory, communication frameworks like NVC and insights from the Gottmans, and paradigms and perspectives on social justice like feminism, analysis of power and privilege, intersectionality, intergenerational and societal trauma, psychological/emotional/verbal etc abuse and coercive control, narcissism/scapegoating/othering and oppression of all varieties. My work is informed by over two decades of deep inquiry into human needs and the complex ways familial, social, cultural, economic and biological contexts inform how they may be nurtured, simply unmet or actively or insidiously contravened. Above all I take a trauma-informed approach that aims to foster empowering client-centered, transparent, collaborative and intersubjective relational conditions that I believe support people’s natural growth toward safety, connection and actualization. I believe that human attachments and early life experiences, as well as structural power dynamics in social/societal systems, are typically foundationally informative to the bridge or gap between trauma/suffering and thriving in safety and connection. I think humanness and understanding of / respect for these facts, alone, can be the most healing provisions of therapy.
