About My Clients

Many clients seek therapy because they feel stuck and they are striving for liberation. Some want to overcome persistent depression or anxiety that holds them back. Others come to heal from trauma, navigate profound grief, or find relief from chronic pain. Some are facing significant life transitions while some are shifting family or romantic dynamics. I also support those experiencing a crisis of meaning or a spiritual emergency, helping them rediscover balance and purpose.

My Background and Approach

I am a psychotherapist, a leadership coach, and an embodied-awareness teacher. I share ideas and practices that enhance presence, clarify purpose, and simplify action. In addition to my clinical and academic work, I am certified in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Parts work, Gottman Relationship Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Hakomi. I also bring to bear my experience as a trauma-informed yoga teacher and a nondual meditation coach. My home is Oakland, California, where I enjoy a spirited community and the generosity of nature.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone can tap into the wisdom, passion, and creativity they need to see through barriers and realize who they really are. I help folks shift from a perpetual state of frustration and conflict to one of nourishing joy and holistic health. Each session offers new chances to shed what no longer serves you and to deepen your commitment to the truth of who you are. No matter your troubles, your cultural identification, or spiritual path, I invite all that you to have to share. Whatever the case, I know that everybody can wake up, at any time, to a full and natural life.
