In-person (Oakland) & online (California) psychotherapy and mental health treatment for individual adults.
Psychotherapy can help develop new attitudes, experiences, and ways of being in the world by exploring stories held about yourself, and disentangling which parts of these stories resonate with your true self. Psychotherapy is just one path for making changes — there are innumerable ways to make sense of yourself and your experiences. We start by determining your goals, paving the path for working together, short or long term. If you are new to therapy, or nervous about connecting in this way, I commend you in your willingness to try counseling.
I offer depth-oriented therapy, aiming to uncover unconscious ways of seeing and being in the world, as influenced by one’s early life and other factors that imprint upon us. It can be helpful for people to explore their life in an open process that fosters deeper self-understanding and personal growth. I also integrate some behavioral interventions to better manage distressing thoughts and feelings. This in part uses here-and-now by tracking of how patterns of thinking and feeling influence behavior, both consciously and unconsciously.
Liberatory frameworks are important to me, including feminist and queer theories. I have an ongoing (un)learning process in regards to neurodiversity.

Some areas we may address include:
- low mood or depression, grief, and anger
- substance use
- overthinking and panic
- family of origin and complex trauma
- confusion about who are you are
- existential questions
- paranoia
I offer an initial, free 10 to 20-minute phone or video consult to see if I may be a good fit for you.
