Services and Specialties:
I provide therapy to children, teens, and adults in California and Oregon, including specialized support for people with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
If you notice yourself experiencing any of the following, therapy with me may be a good fit for you:
– Worry, overwhelm, anxiety, or distress
– Sadness, numbness, feeling disconnected, or low mood
– Grief or sense of loss
– Burnout
– Lack of motivation
– Intrusive thoughts
– Trouble focusing
– Feeling like you aren’t good enough
– Feeling unsure about your identity (e.g., gender, sexual, or disability identities; academic or professional identities; family or individual roles)
– Feeling stuck
– Having trouble connecting with the people in your life
I often work with people during life transitions and moments of stress, like adjusting to a change in health status, becoming an adult, or navigating demanding work or personal life experiences. Many of my clients are healthcare workers, new parents, and students of all ages.
If you don’t fit into these categories, we can still work together!
Ages and identities served:
I see people of all ages, with a special focus from infancy to middle adulthood.
Whether you are coming to see me to figure out who you are in the world, navigate work or school stress, or build strong relationships with your children, my specialty training as a family and individual therapist enables me to support you and your loved ones throughout the many phases of life.
Therapy tailored to children’s social and emotional needs. Opportunities for consultation with school systems, family support, and play therapy.
Support for teens to navigate mental health alongside relationship, family, identity, or academic challenges.
Therapy for adults focusing on personal growth, increasing sense of wellbeing, and relationship to self and others.
Specialized therapy for fellow people with disabilities (including those with chronic illnesses and/or ND folks) and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Example areas of focus: adjusting to diagnosis/coping with symptoms, medical trauma, relationships, processing identity, cultural stressors.
Subspecialties: Type 1 Diabetes; exploring gender/sexuality without family support

How therapy works:
I practice from a culturally responsive, relational lens.
This means that our work together may consider how your identities, experiences, and context relate to your mental health.
I often support individuals and families using the following therapy approaches:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Infant-Parent Psychotherapy
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
Narrative Therapy
Play Therapy (in-person and virtual options)
Psychodynamic and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy
During our first session, I will support you by developing a treatment plan that considers your goals, needs, and hopes for therapy.
Duration of treatment depends on your goals; I offer brief (8-12 session) and long-term therapy options.
I offer sessions online (for residents of California and Oregon) and in-person in El Cerrito.
Teletherapy and in-office therapy can be equally effective. I can help you decide which is best for you based on your location and needs.
I also offer home, park, and school visits in and around El Cerrito. This can be a great way for people with disabilities, kids with busy schedules, and/or new parents to access mental health support.
If you would like to meet in-person, Sesame may be available to join your sessions!
