Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors

“It's time you felt like you again. It's time you felt free.”

About Me

Life can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected, weighed down by unspoken burdens. I offer a supportive space where you can gently explore what holds you back and rediscover your authentic self. We'll work together to understand your experiences, helping you navigate challenges and gain clarity. This collaborative approach supports those ready to shed what no longer serves them. It helps you move towards renewed freedom.

Approach

When you're ready to move toward openness and ease, I hold a steady, attuned pace that balances presence with clear structure. From my Oakland office or in secure online sessions in English, you'll find a calm, contained setting where we track patterns, practice grounding between meetings, and gently process difficult memories. Sessions blend creative expression with paced processing and practical coping so you leave more resourced and less alone. This way of working tends to help adults navigating trauma, transitions, burnout, or questions of identity.
