I am an Oakland-based individual and couples therapist who believes that healing the brokenness of our world begins with reverence for the interconnectedness of all living beings. I am committed to supporting people’s process of re-membering themselves into the tapestry of their life path through psychodynamic and family systems-based therape
My approach is collaborative and active. I balance making therapy challenging at times, yet playful enough so that you will want to come back. My clients say this therapy-on-the-move is easier than a traditional sit-on-a-couch scenario in which the confinement of the room can get in the way of the work.

I am honored to witness the changes that are possible, and the wisdom
I appreciate helping individuals and couples that just want to live better lives, have deeper relationships, and find more joy in day to day living. Life can be tough. Good therapy offers support, a place to be heard, guidance, and sometimes a place to hear truths that you may not want to hear, but need to hear. I offer a supportive and direct appr
I believe that it is important as a psychotherapist to approach the work from a place of groundedness in my perspective and orientation, while being flexible enough to understand where you as the client are coming from and what your individual needs are.

You're often fighting or feeling distant from your romantic partner. Small issues can become a big deal and conflict remains unrepaired. Perhaps you've tried many strategies to stop these difficult dynamics. You feel frustrated and need to find new ways to connect, resolve, and find each other again.

I help people who are told they're “too sensitive,” “too much,” feel misunderstood, or feel alienated from the mainstream, people looking for a therapist who "gets it."
