~ "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional." ~
We all face challenges, but we don't have to go through them alone. Whether you want to get support around new changes in your life that are causing you pain and worry, or work through problems that have been with you for years, talking to a therapist can help you feel relief, feel empowered, and adjust to the things that are out of your control.
I am a Licensed Psychotherapist working with adults, late teens (16+), and couples in Berkeley, CA. I can see people living anywhere in California virtually as well. I take an open, non-judgmental approach to working with my clients. I enjoy working with people of any race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender identification, sexual orientation, and political leaning. I have several years of experience and training in helping people cope with a wide variety of issues, such as:
Overall stress in life, the workplace, or family
Alcohol and other substance use
Chronic pain
Depression
Grief and loss
Anxiety
Relationship problems
Regulating emotions
Anger management
ADHD
Adjustment to traumatic events
Aging/Older Adults
Gender identity, sexual identity, and cultural identity
Chronic illness and terminal conditions
Life transitions
Veteran’s issues
Whether you just want to talk to someone who will listen to you and make you feel understood, or if you want homework and skills-based counseling, I’ll work with you in the way that you prefer. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I have several years of experience in traditional talk therapy, and have received advanced training in specific modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Harm Reduction, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Seeking Safety, Mindfulness, and Crisis Counseling.
