Psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples & Families
Depth-Oriented Therapy for Meaningful, Lasting Change
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood. I work with teenagers, young adults, adults, couples, and families to understand the patterns shaping their lives and build healthier, more intentional relationships. My approach is compassionate, thoughtful, and grounded in emotional depth.
A Whole-System Perspective
Where Individual Growth and Relationships Intersect
I integrate individual, couples, and family perspectives in my work. Our inner world and our relationships are deeply connected — challenges in one area often reflect patterns in another. In individual therapy, I consider relational context. In couples and family therapy, I remain attentive to each person’s emotional experience. This comprehensive approach often leads to deeper insight and more lasting change.
