Therapy Built Around Your Life & Goals

Hello,

I’m a licensed therapist, located in Oakland, CA. I’m licensed in both California and Michigan, and provide tele-therapy in both states.

Deciding to start therapy takes courage, and I am glad you are here! If you are feeling anxious, sad, lonely, or overwhelmed, I can help. Or maybe you are feeling pretty good, ready for a new adventure, exploring a potential transition, or wanting to better understand yourself. Together, we can create a space that is all yours and safe for exploration and growth.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. You know yourself and your story better than anyone else. My role is to bring clinical structure, practical tools, and encouragement to help you figure out what, if any, changes you want to make and the next steps on that journey. Together, we work to create a supportive environment where you can step back, evaluate things, and make the changes you want to see.

Collaborative, inclusive, and evidence-based mental health care.
