Have you been struggling with anxiety and/or lack of direction? Are you critical of yourself and feeling negative and sad? Do you have issues in your past you feel are impacting your present? Are you challenged by a life transition? Change is hard and not always smooth. Sometimes we get in our own way toward the life we want to live. I can help gain perspective and look at whether your thoughts and behaviors are helping you along your path or hindering your way. We can look at how patterns, thoughts and behaviors that might have been adaptive from a less than perfect past might be getting in your way now. I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral approach to look at thoughts and behaviors and what would serve you best. Incorporating positive psychology, support and compassion you will have assistance on life’s sometimes/occasionally meandering path.

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.
