Strength-Based Therapy for Ambitious Individuals in Berkeley, CA
I am a licensed therapist specializing in strength-based therapy for ambitious individuals. With over a decade of experience since establishing my private practice in 2012, I combine social justice principles, feminist theories, and evidence-based approaches like AEDP, CSRT, and EFT to address inner criticism, burnout, and self-doubt. My practice focuses on helping clients reconnect with their authentic selves, build self-compassion, and align their lives with personal values.I hold a doctoral degree from The Wright Institute and have extensive clinical experience working with diverse populations across educational, community, and private settings. My therapeutic approach emphasizes collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and leveraging existing personal strengths to foster meaningful growth and improved emotional regulation.
