Services

Therapy can be a nourishing and transformative experience. This requires finding a good fit between client and clinician. A strong therapeutic alliance is often the most significant indicator of positive outcomes and client satisfaction. We might work well together if you are interested in collaborative care. I believe in trauma-informed, relational healing and work hard to welcome your full self into the room with us. I also believe in offering tangible tools and guidance. If we work together, you can expect to have another advocate on your team.

I want to note that my therapy services are rooted in liberation-based practice. The field of social work has undeniably participated (both historically and still today) in gatekeeping, policing, and upholding racism. It feels important to recognize that licensed mental health clinicians are practicing within a broken capitalist system and a harmful medical industrial complex. I am committed to the ongoing work of examining my role and resisting oppressive approaches to care. I plan to continue unlearning alongside colleagues with similar perspectives.

Individual Therapy

I offer one-on-one sessions for clients who want to explore their sense of self and well-being. Our therapy work might involve identifying patterns and narratives, processing emotions, clarifying needs and boundaries, examining coping skills, strengthening communication, and cultivating self-compassion. Together we can strategize about how to reduce stress and feel more resourced.

Group Therapy

I have considered offering chronic pain therapy groups in the near future. Please let me know if you are interested in participating and I will place you on a waitlist to receive updates. In the past, I have co-facilitated therapy groups on grief and living fully with chronic illness. Additionally, I have relevant personal experience with catalyzing an intentional co-living community.

Telehealth Therapy

I am currently offering a hybrid model of care. For clients residing in Vermont, I provide HIPAA-compliant video or phone sessions. For clients in the Bay Area, I am available to meet via telehealth or in person. I share an office space with colleagues (see photos below). It is located in Oakland on the second floor of a walk-up building. I am sad to note that the space is not fully accessible.
