Integral Psychotherapy
in nature, in the office & online
Oakland | Berkeley | San Francisco | California
-
Therapy is a sacred laboratory–one where we explore various paths toward full self-acceptance, while also nurturing your dreams for the future and healing from the past.
Therapeutic Philosophy
-
Engaging
I lead with curiosity, warmth & playfulness. I do more than just listen. Therapy is a collaborative relationship.
-
Client-Centered
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I delight in discovering which methods suit you best.
-
Sacred
The trust and truth we co-create in therapy are sacred. All of you is welcome here.
My Services
Seeking help with a specific issue or type of therapy? I have a variety of approaches and specialities.
-
I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety and neurodivergence. I am especially adept at helping people who are seeking to resolve trauma, understand their relationship patterns, and improve their communication.
I love working with queer and trans clients. Please read more about my integral approach to therapy.
-
I offer outdoor therapy at several parks in Berkeley and Oakland. Doing talk therapy surrounded by trees and sunshine can be immensely supportive, especially for those who struggle to make it into nature regularly on their own.
Optionally, we can incorporate movement or ecotherapy activities to help strengthen your relationship with nature and enhance your mental health. When weather is an issue, we meet online.
-
I work with adolescents ages 10 and up. For most young clients, it is important to augment individual therapy with occasional family sessions. Rarely are a young person’s mental health challenges unrelated to the overall health of the family system.
Having been both a high school teacher and a person who was diagnosed with depression in my teens, I have a unique perspective to offer young clients and their families.
-
I provide therapy for couples, polycules and friend groups. In my previous coaching practice, I worked extensively with both monogamous and non-monogamous partners to help them improve their communication, intimacy, and create relationship structures that uniquely suited their needs. I use a variety of techniques, including The Gottman Method.
-
I offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy for individuals ages 13 & up, as well as couples. Please read more about the many benefits of KAT.
-
On occasion, I offer online and in-person classes. Most of them are centered around authentic communication, somatic embodiment skills, and meditation.
I also offer consultations and customized workshops for organizations, as well as coaching sessions online for those outside of California. Please contact me if you are interested in any of these offerings.
