You may be looking for a way to heal pain, soothe anxious thoughts, cultivate loving relationships, or strengthen your family...or all of the above. I enjoy talking with people and fostering an environment that is safe, transparent, compassionate and productive. I hope to have the opportunity to talk with you. Therapy can seem intimidating sometimes and my goal is to work with you to develop a safe space and allow positive change to occur. While I don't exclusively practice Narrative Therapy, I find that the tenets of the theory influence many of the ways I work with clients. I also rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Object Relations (Psychodynamic), Attachment Theory and Motivational Interviewing. I tailor the kind of therapy I do respective to each individual client. Regardless of the type of therapy I use, I focus on individualized therapeutic techniques that are respectful, culturally contextualized, trauma-informed and focus on the strengths a person, couple or family possesses. I seek to honor the lives of each client and employ the training I've received to co-develop and refine the best possible therapeutic path. I believe that lasting change can best occur in a non-pathologizing environment where process and change are achieved by cooperative discussion and creative expression. Finding a therapist who is the right fit may be a process that feels natural to you, or it may be one of the more challenging tasks you've undertaken. I practice at the Oak Creek Counseling Center, with offices in both San Francisco and Berkeley. |
