Who I am:

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who holds multiple intersecting identities: I’m queer, non-binary, polyamorous, white, Jewish, radical. I often work with people who share some of these identities, and I’m dedicated to the pursuit of a more just world by examining my own relationship to power and acting in solidarity with struggles against white supremacy, capitalism, cisheteropatriarchy, and ableism. My pronouns are they/them.

What brought me here:

I graduated from The Wright Institute’s Masters in Counseling Psychology Program and completed my preliminary training at Pacific Center for Human Growth and the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy. I have also completed a Level 1 training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for Trauma and have done introductory trainings in Internal Family Systems.

I’m fulfilling a lifelong passion for psychology that has been enriched by my own personal therapeutic work. I bring my own lived experience to this work following my initial career in social justice movements, doing communications, fundraising, and writing work within nonprofit settings. It’s been rewarding to bridge my commitment to transformation on a broad social and cultural scale to work on an interpersonal scale in collaboration with individuals and partners.

Where I am:

I’m currently holding weekly sessions with people throughout the state of California, and in-person at my office in North Oakland.

Outside of therapeutic work, I enjoy quality time with partners, friends, and family, seeing live music, volunteering, and caring for plants indoors and out.
