Adults
Therapy for folks with big feelings and worriers
Do you cry at the smallest things? Snap at people you care about? Worry endlessly about things that haven't even happened yet? Maybe you feel numb when you think you should feel something, or overwhelmed by emotions you can't name. You might notice the same painful patterns showing up in your relationships over and over—choosing unavailable partners, pushing people away, or feeling like you're never enough.
Perhaps you've tried CBT or short-term therapy before, but the tools felt like band-aids on deeper wounds. You're done with quick fixes. You're ready to unfold and reshape yourself in order to truly feel better, not just learn how to cope better.
If you suspect your childhood experiences still affect you today—maybe through anxiety, emotional dysregulation, difficulty trusting others, or repeating relationship patterns you don't want—there is hope.
I specialize in long-term, relational, depth therapy for adults healing from developmental and relational trauma. This means we explore early attachment wounds and childhood experiences that shape how you relate to yourself and others today. In therapy, we build a safe, authentic relationship where we can explore what's coming up in your daily life, your past, and between us in the present moment. This is the deeper work—not a quick fix, but lasting change.
Teens and Adolescents
Strengths-based therapy for your teen or tween
Is your teen struggling with a transition, like starting middle school or high school? Do they feel insecure or lack confidence? Are they feeling overwhelmed by academic or extracurricular demands? Are you feeling unsure of how to help support them as they start to push you away?
From meeting academic expectations to fulfilling extracurricular responsibilities, from navigating the social scene at school to surviving the one online, teens are under a lot of stress even under the best of circumstances. (Often, life doesn’t grant the best of circumstances.) And—let’s be honest—your job of raising them isn’t exactly a walk in the park.
Therapy can help continue the wonderful work you started with your child years ago, by nurturing and helping them come into their own in a confusing, hormone-riddled, scholastically-demanding time. (With an adult that they don’t feel the biological imperative to push away from. Which is normal, by the way. You’re doing just fine!)
Therapy for partners and family members
Couples
Do you love each other but feel like you’re speaking different languages? Do you wish your partner really understood what you were saying—and maybe what you’re not actually saying, too? Do you crave safe, emotional intimacy in your partnership?
A lot can come up when the people we love miss us. You both deserve to be seen, understood, and valued by one another, and therapy can help you safely explore and repair whatever’s getting in your way.
In therapy you will practice skills like deep listening and reflection, communicating your needs and boundaries, and keeping yourself grounded and regulated even when things feel tense. Couples therapy requires not just participation, but collaboration, compassion, and curiosity from both of you.
I’m a software product manager turned therapist who loves working with people who feel things really deeply. You are coming to therapy because something just isn’t working for you anymore and you’re not feeling your best. I bring a sense of coziness to therapy that will put you at ease while embodying a more direct therapeutic style. I will both gently challenge you and partner with you on your journey—wherever it takes you.
I specialize in developmental and relational trauma—the kind that comes from early attachment wounds and shapes how you relate to yourself and others today. I am trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and neurodivergent affirming.
I see clients both in-person in Berkeley and online from anywhere in California for long-term, depth therapy.
