REGISTERED ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST #125384
Office In Oakland, CA. Walk-and-talk/Telehealth Available.
Supervised By: Gieve Patel, LMFT #47196.
I hold the work that we do together as a kind of spiritual midwifery. My job is to support you as you bring all of the lost, rejected and abandoned parts of you together again, and breathe your true, authentic self back to life.
I believe that a life of pleasure, play, rest, ease, connection and flow is our natural state and our birthright. In doing the deep and profound work of coming back to our wholeness and healing ourselves, we are committing quietly revolutionary acts of resistance against a culture that thrives on our spiritual fragmentation.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in mindfulness meditation, deep ecology, ritual, sensory exploration, polyvagal theory, and pleasure awareness, and is wholeheartedly and unreservedly sex-positive, kink- and poly-/ENM-friendly.
