Services
Therapeutic Offerings
Currently available via secure video tele-health as well as for in-person sessions at my Oakland Lake Merritt office, with a commitment to disability justice and accessibility including continued risk mitigation in spreading COVID-19.
Individual Therapy
A space for you, and all your parts.
We will dive deep into your story, get to know the characters, survey the landscapes, and together discover the support you need to promote greater connection to your wholeness, your gifts, and your purpose.
Conjoint Therapy
Pairs of all kinds are welcome here.
I offer a space for partners of many sorts (co-owners, colleagues, friends, co-parents, siblings, romantic partners, neighbors, sex and/or kink partners, etc.). Here we will explore your investment in the relationship, where it hurts, where it feels aligned, where it's been, and what it needs to move forward. We will discover what is getting in the way of collaborating more effectively to meet the needs of both individuals and the pair.
Family Therapy
For families, by blood and by choice.
Family bonds are powerful and complex—their gravity can be as supportive as it can be destructive. It is important to right imbalances, relieve burdens, create new spaces to breathe and grow, and restructure power and resource distribution. We will investigate the strengths and needs of your family and work together to serve greater sustainability, cohesion, and support for each member and the whole.
