Psychotherapy for Individuals in the East Bay

Sometimes we get so used to things being a certain way that we can feel powerless over our own lives.  It doesn't have to be that way. There are many cultural forces we don’t have control over, but we do have agency over how we relate to our internal experience, and this gives us agency over how we navigate living within systems of power and oppression.

I want you to feel like your life, your body, and your mind are actually yours, not just things you have to endure. 

I believe your feelings are important.  Even if they are confusing, distracting, or overwhelming, there is a way to listen to and relate to them that can increase clarity, direction, and ease.  When we to have a friendly relationship with your feelings, they can be a resource to guide us.
 

I aim to provide:

• a space to reflect on your experience,

• a space where all parts of you are welcome,

• a space where you're not responsible for other people's feelings,

• a space to learn and practice new ways of being that increase your chances of getting your needs met.
  

I want to be your ally in this confusing, amazing process of living.
