I offer compassionate and insight-oriented therapy and counseling to individuals, couples, and children at my office in Oakland. My primary goal is to fully understand each client on a personal, intellectual, and emotional level before I attempt to intervene. I believe in a warm and caring therapeutic relationship, creating a safe space in which to explore your needs and troubles.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process, which requires active participation from both therapist and client. We will take each step in a pace that feels comfortable to you so that you feel you have control over the process and never feel pushed or pressured into something that does not feel safe. With this in mind, I believe that we can work together to understand your past and re-write your future.
Most people struggle at some point in their life. Sometimes you carry struggles from your past with you, other times they are the result of new demands and challenges in life. Regardless of their origin, these hurdles can cause a lot of pain and suffering and prevent you from living the life you had envisioned and fulfill the dreams you strive to accomplish.

Services
Throughout my career, I have successfully treated a broad spectrum of clients.
I have seen adults, children, and couples seeking therapy for a wide range of problems and struggles, such as anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and intimacy issues to mention a few.
The common thread in working with such a diverse clientele is that I firmly believe that the primary curative factor in therapy is the safe and caring environment provided by the therapist.
Therapy should never feel shaming or persecutory.

Being in a relationship can be very fulfilling and lend a lot of support and stability to one's life.
It can also be a really difficult thing to navigate and we can, at times, feel like we lose ourselves in the process.
Couples commonly struggle with issues such as negotiating degrees of intimacy, agreeing on fundamental goals, communication, and the role of extended family.
Other struggles are presented when marriage and children enter the picture and additional difficulties might include disagreements around child rearing and anxieties around what being married actually means.

Parenting and raising a family is a difficult task in today's society.
Many parents have to work full-time in order to make ends meet and have very little energy left at the end of the day.
Things like arguing and fighting among family members are normal occurrences in every family but can escalate to unmanageable proportions and leave parents feeling like they have lost control.
Family counseling can help family members regain a sense of control and responsibility and, most importantly, resume the compassion and respect for one another that are often lost in difficult times.

I attempt to make my services accessible to a wide range of clients and try to prevent finances from being an obstacle to receiving therapy, which is why I offer affordable therapy.
Should you feel that you are not able to afford my full fee, I offer a sliding scale depending on availability and your circumstances.
We will agree on a fee over the phone before you come in for your first session.
I am currently a provider in the Aetna network.
There is sometimes a copay associated with therapeutic services in this network.

The best way to reach me is over the phone.
I check my messages frequently and will get back to you typically no later than the following business day.
I offer a free initial phone consultation to determine what your needs are and if I can help.
If it feels right for both of us, we will schedule a session in person so that we can talk and think together about what is troubling you and what you would like to accomplish in therapy.
From there, we decide if we should start meeting on a regular basis.
