For Supporting Body + Mind + Spirit
Creative Healing Tools & Self-Empowerment
Hello and welcome to my Holistic Counseling practice!
I believe that the human spirit is oriented toward growth and expansion. My intention when working together is to serve as a collaborator, ally and accountability partner to encourage you on your path toward living your best life, to hold space for your whole self and to hold on to hope when it feels out of reach.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a diverse background in psychological and somatic modalities, spiritual traditions, energy work and the healing arts. My work focuses on custom-crafting creative, evidence-based, simple and accessible practices that can truly make a difference in your daily life - practices that will help decrease stress and anxiety, address trauma big and small, and foster better communication and relationships. Our goal is to strengthen your mental health muscles and self-regulation skills through these supportive practices and thereby build resilience in the face of challenge.
My style of counseling is holistic, integrative, relational with a focus on self-care, creativity, and empowerment tools. I have a directive approach and often work from a somatic (body-oriented) and mindfulness based framework. I believe that our cultural, ethnic and spiritual identities inform much of who we are and how we experience the world and ourselves. I welcome all backgrounds and perspectives and am committed to exploring these areas with curiosity and sensitivity as it is important to you.
I am deeply inspired by nature-based healing modalities and by my personal & professional experience with creativity as one of our most powerful paths to self-awareness, spiritual fulfillment and holistic healing.
Some of my techniques, training, and specialties include:
Mindfulness & Meditation
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

At this time I am seeing clients virtually via my secure telehealth platform. I am also open to providing outdoor & nature-based therapy, rituals & special sessions. My practice is based in Oakland, California.
Long and short-term counseling is available.
I offer a free initial 20 minute consultation/conversation. Connection and resonance is key in any healing relationship. My goal is to see how we can custom craft the ideal environment and relationship for your unique healing journey.
