About My Clients
I work with youth and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma related to a disconnection to self, body, family, community, and nature. Are you (or your child) experiencing feelings of disconnection and distress related to anxiety or trauma? Are your body, mind, and emotions re-living the past on repeat or terrified of what might happen in the future? I also provide therapy for hopeful, awaiting, and new parents who are navigating the fertility, pregnancy, and
My Background and Approach
I offer an integrative approach that is tailored to what each person is needing on their personal healing journey. I use attachment-based, trauma-healing, body-oriented approaches (EMDR, Havening & Somatics), play therapy, talk therapy, & nature-oriented outdoor therapy. I have advanced trainings in EMDR, Somatic Attachment Therapy, Havening Techniques, Mindfulness, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, CBT, Perinatal Mental Health and Liberation-Based Therapy. I provide therapy online across CA and also offer nature-based outdoor sessions, if you are local to the East Bay.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a therapist who strives to use an antiracist, de-colonizing, liberation-healing framework, I believe it is pivotal to locate myself as a practitioner, rather than to portray myself as a “blank slate”. I am a white, cisgender, queer, and neurodivergent woman who lives and works on the unceded territory of the Lisjan Ohlone people (aka Oakland, CA). I am a partner, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a granddaughter, a friend. These identities shape me, the reasons why I do the work I do, and how I do it. My values are rooted in my lived experience & ethical beliefs: Anti-racism & Black Lives Matter, De-Colonize & Land Back, Child & Youth-Affirming, Collective & Ancestral Healing, Disability Justice, Feminist, Health At Every Size & Intuitive Eating & Joyful Movement, Neurodivergent-Affirming, Queer & Trans Affirming, Radical Mental Health, Sex & Kink Positive.
