So you’re looking for a new therapist.

Whether this is your first voyage into counseling, another try after a negative experience, or a regular part of your self-care routine, starting therapy takes courage. Even in the darkest of nights, just wondering if things can be different is an ember of hope; I'm so glad you're here. 

In working together, I'll help you disentangle the thoughts, judgments, and messages whose weight over the years have severed access to authentic feeling and being. The entirety of yourself is invited, and in the space we share, your thoughts and feelings will never be too much (or not enough). 

Scope of Practice

I have extensive experience working with clients with diverse clinical needs, including substance use, personality disorders, dual diagnosis, and medical/health needs. My clinical interests and expertise include: 

• Issues of gender identity, sexuality, and relationships 

• Childhood trauma

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Issues related to being a millennial (because that’s definitely a thing)

• Over-thinkers, artists, and activists

Location and Fees

You have a busy, stressful life. Trying to fit therapy into your schedule doesn’t have to make it worse. I offer a variety of scheduling options to help make finding some you-time a little easier. I also have ADA-accessible locations near public transportation in Oakland and San Francisco.

Before Work or Lunch Break

Beginning as early as 7am, I offer appointments throughout the morning and lunch hour to help take the strain off the prized real-estate of evening hours.

Video Conferencing

Whether it be because of mobility, frequent travel, location, or any other reason getting to the office might not work for you, weekly psychotherapy can still be an option. I have extensive experience providing therapy through confidential video conferencing online. 

Fees

Standard sessions for individuals are 50 minutes, for $175. Couples or individual sessions for 75 minutes are $225. While I do not accept insurance, I can provide a superbill to be submitted for reimbursement. I unfortunately do not have sliding scale appointments available at this time.
