EFT couples and family therapy that meets you where you are.
I partner with families and couples to improve communication, increase connection, and cultivate inner and relational security.
Family Therapy
I support families with children of all ages from infancy to adulthood. I provide therapy to families impacted by a variety of challenges including trauma, separation/divorce, substance use, as well as ADHD, Autism or anxiety. We will work together to identify what you want and I will guide you to having new experiences in therapy together. Parenting is absolutely the hardest job. I can assist you as a parent in overcoming barriers and improving your skills and confidence in meeting your child’s needs.
EFT Couples Therapy
I support couples facing challenges across the spectrum who are in distress, feeling intense negative emotions or who have difficulty expressing emotions. I commit to be engaged and directive to support you in having a secure attachment with your partner.
I provide therapy in person in Oakland or via Telehealth. I accept private pay and can provide a superbly for your insurance.

When we feel generally secure, that is, we are comfortable with closeness and confident about depending on loved ones, we are better at seeking support - and better at giving it.
