ABOUT THERAPY

Who I See

I offer individual therapy to adults.  


Areas of Focus


Appointments

I see clients in person in my office in Berkeley, CA, and via telehealth for clients throughout California.   


Fees & Insurance

$220/session.  Some sliding scale appointments available. 

I am an out-of-network provider for insurance.  I can provide a receipt for services (superbill) that you may submit for reimbursement if your insurance allows.  Please reach out to your insurance company to confirm that you have out-of-network coverage.

How I Practice

I bring a calm, intellectual thoughtfulness to my work, and a deep curiosity about the human experience.  My interpersonal style is smart, warm, logical, and humorous.  I practice from a relational psychodynamic framework shaped by mindfulness, somatic/polyvagal, and compassion-based therapy models.  I can hold space for integration work with nonordinary states of consciousness. Clients typically feel well understood by me.

I have a unique familiarity with helping people navigate the spiritual/religious dimensions of psychological functioning, both the strengths and the conflicts.  If this is part of your journey, you are encouraged to bring it into therapy.  

I believe therapy plays a powerful role in social change through the deeply personal work of individual change, and I situate my practice within a commitment to collective sociocultural growth.  


Am I the Right Therapist for You?

During the first few sessions, we will explore what it feels like to work together.  I encourage you to pay attention to whether the therapy feels like a good fit for you.  If we decide not to move forward, I can make suggestions on finding another provider or therapy modality.  


Schedule a Consultation

I offer a brief 20-minute phone consultation free of charge.  We will review available services, answer questions, and schedule an intake appointment.
