“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.”
— John Green
Working together
The therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is a cornerstone of healing. Significant progress can often be achieved simply through a safe and supportive connection. As a mental health professional in the East Bay, my goal is to support you in moving forward at your own pace and in the direction you choose. On this journey, you will choose the destination, and I will help navigate the path to get there.
To see if we might be a good fit, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I am available to work with individuals in the East Bay and Tri-Valley area in person, as well as with clients anywhere in California through virtual sessions. If I am not the right counselor for you, I am committed to helping you find someone who can provide the help you need and deserve.
Many people worry about what to expect from therapy. In a culture that prizes self-reliance, seeking help can feel like a daunting task. To demystify the process, here is what our work together might look like. You can choose between online or in-person sessions. Our first meeting will focus on reviewing basic information to establish a shared understanding of the therapeutic relationship and the goals we will work toward. I will ask questions about your life and what has brought you to therapy, supporting you in identifying meaningful objectives. Subsequent sessions will be tailored to the goals we set, which may involve developing practical skills, processing complex emotions, or a combination of both. Whatever your path to healing looks like, we will walk it together.
