Psychologist

Virtual • Berkeley, CA


I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with people seeking a deeper, more meaningful relationship with themselves and with life. Many of the clients I support come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Others are navigating major transitions, wrestling with identity questions, or carrying stress from demanding work and high-pressure expectations. Wherever you are, therapy with me is a place to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover the parts of you that want space, clarity, and care.

My approach is relational, somatic, and depth-oriented. I integrate ideas from relational depth psychology, somatic psychology, yoga, and non-dual contemplative traditions. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens through presence—listening to the body, the unconscious, and the subtle threads of meaning that shape our inner lives.

I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), a program known for integrating Western psychological science with Eastern contemplative practices and ancient earth-based wisdom. My clinical experience spans hospital-based care, community mental health, school settings, and private practice. These environments have allowed me to work with people across different ages, identities, and life situations.

I’ve also completed extensive post-graduate training in the Hakomi Method, a somatic, mindfulness-based therapeutic approach that helps uncover and transform the core patterns at the center of our lives.

If you’re looking for a therapist who brings warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for your inner world, I would be honored to support you.

I have worked with adults and children for over 30 years. My work bridges a broad spectrum of life issues with the belief that we each carry a unique inner authority that directs us to develop according to our own truth.

My work has a Jungian orientation. In addition to verbal therapy with adults we may incorporate dream work, art, EMDR, or hypnotherapy.

I work virtually now and no longer treat children.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California

Finding the right therapist in California starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, it helps to find a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation. California-licensed therapists include LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.

California is one of the most expensive states for mental health care, which makes using your insurance one of the most practical ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to confirm coverage and see an estimated session cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.

With providers available across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and throughout the state, you can browse therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can review detailed bios, check real-time availability, and book directly.
