How I Can Help

Regardless of our circumstances, we are all capable of healing. I know this because I have experienced it myself and because I have witnessed and accompanied people in untenable conditions deepen awareness about their patterns and access the agency and resilience necessary to change. I see therapy as one way to heal backwards through the harm and trauma of our family systems, socialization, and systems of oppression and supremacy that have shaped our behaviors and beliefs. All parts of ourselves deserve to be treated with dignity. I offer a warm, collaborative, grounded and creative space to get curious about how you have been shaped by your experiences, while learning new strategies and skills to move towards acceptance and integration.

The therapy I provide is especially supportive of people experiencing codependency, issues related to identity, depression, attachment concerns, relationship struggles, and navigating the impacts of other peoples’ addictions. I specialize in working with people to heal childhood trauma, attachment trauma, complex family histories, recover from violence, develop boundaries, and take accountability for past harms. In addition to working with individuals and couples, I love working with teenagers, families, queer people, and activists.

I work relationally and integrate a variety of approaches in my practice including Gestalt, Somatic, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy for single or ongoing incidences of trauma. Past clients have described me as attentive, insightful, strong, direct, and collaborative.

About Me

I arrived at my work as a therapist through ten years as an organizer in grassroots movements for social justice, as well as through a deep commitment to my own therapy. These experiences taught me that healing is central to justice and liberation. I do this work because I believe that healed people create pathways for others to heal, and welcome in more joy and connection and that this, ultimately, impacts our systems and collective bodies. I also work as a restorative justice facilitator and trainer. I support communities who have experienced harm or violence to heal and take accountability.

I am from the Bay Area and live in Oakland. I identify as white, cisgender, Jewish, queer, and femme. I love spending time in the redwoods, dancing, watching the NBA, making art and being with my brilliant community, family, and baby.

My Background and Experience

As an organizer and advocate, I worked closely with incarcerated survivors of violence to support their healing, legal campaigns, and ultimately, their freedom. I have also worked with youth for many years, as a counselor and restorative justice facilitator. As a facilitator and trainer, I work with other white people to deepen their commitments to end white supremacy. I have a master of arts in Community Mental Health Counseling from Sonoma State University. I also hold a master of arts in Visual and Critical Studies from the California College of the Arts and a bachelor of art in Feminist Studies and Studio Art from UC Santa Cruz.

My Approach

I approach therapy with a frame of trauma healing and social justice. I will support you to gain awareness about how your life has been shaped by society, family, past traumas, and survival strategies. I will support you to connect to your inherent resiliency and develop new skills. We will incorporate an embodied understanding of the influence of power, privilege, and oppression on your life and relationships.

While I take this work seriously, I regularly make room for humor and levity. I will be a real person in the room with you; transparent, empathetic, and responsive to your unique needs and methods of processing. I often activate sessions through creativity as a way to make your concerns tangible for us to work with.

Internships

We offer a supportive private practice internship program, allowing pre-licensed clinicians (AMFT/ASW/APCC) to earn an income, accrue hours towards licensure and develop the clinical and entrepreneurial skills required for success in private practice. During the Coronavirus pandemic, we are continuing to accept new associates, helping them to launch practices as teletherapists. We also occasionally accept newly licensed clinicians, helping them to launch their private practice careers.

Services

In response to the Coronavirus, we now focus on providing teletherapy (therapy by phone and video) to our clients. Teletherapy can be helpful to individuals of all ages, including children and teenagers. Couples and families can also benefit from the convenience, flexibility and effectiveness of teletherapy. Please call or write us today to learn more about our services.
