Are you tired of looking for a therapist who “gets it”? It can be infuriating to have to take the time to explain who you are to someone who may pathologize you, treat you like a novelty, or avoid talking about the relationships, behaviors, and events that are important to you.
You don’t have to separate your personal and social justice values from your desire for compassionate support. You can finally have what you have been looking for.
As a feminist therapist, I support your progressive values and celebrate the unique ways you express your gender or choose to live and love in your body. I can see your strengths as well as your challenges. This can make it easier to build trust, so you can focus on your goals and personal growth.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Affirming Therapy Center and hold an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling from the University of San Diego. I identify as a gay therapist and I support members of the kink, BDSM, GSRD, and LGBTQ communities in exploring their identity, sexuality, and relational dynamics. As an active member of the kink and ENM communities, I have firsthand knowledge of the beautiful complexities of “alternative” relationship structures. As a body-positive therapist, I am passionate about helping people heal their relationships and behaviors toward food and body size. My style is direct yet compassionate and I gently incorporate levity while providing a safe space for my clients to heal.

2930 DOMINGO AVE #1472, BERKELEY, CA 94705, UNITED STATES
Even though you have a deep sense of comfort and familiarity with each other, you and your partner(s) aren’t sure how to communicate emotions and needs, especially during stressful times. You recognize strengths in the relationship, and you need additional support in problem-solving in these new, uncharted experiences. You may have also had a breach of trust and you’re stuck in knowing how to repair it. And sometimes your trauma memories resurface, which leaves you feeling confused or frustrated.
I help partners/couples of all ages who feel overwhelmed and stuck to navigate difficult conversations. My relationship clients talk about caregiving partners with chronic illness, how to meaningfully connect as death approaches, adjusting to changing roles in cross-cultural and bilingual multifamily relationships, getting unstuck in the same communication patterns, exploring newly realized sexualities and gender identities, and how to support their veteran transition to civilian life.
My clients learn over time in a non-judgmental setting to find solutions, communicate emotions and needs with empathy, repair broken trust, and utilize their own strengths for discovering new ways to reconnect. There won’t be worksheets, but there will be talks about attachment, grief, and there will be humor even in the midst of pain.
I’m queer identified, bilingual (English/Spanish), and polyamory/non-monogamy, trans, and kink/BDSM knowledgeable and affirming. I’m trained in trauma-informed hospice grief counseling and all aspects of grief/loss, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic/mindfulness practices, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
Currently, I’m prioritizing families (however you define family) and couples/partners relationships. My clients typically come to see me weekly for consistent support as we get to know each other. Let’s start with a free 15-minute video consultation. Thank you!

I have found therapy to be a place where we can talk about aspects of our lives that might be stigmatized, misunderstood, or unseen in other social spheres. It is important to me to give clients the space to be authentic while they approach self-exploration, self-love, and judgeless venting. Working through past wounds or current obstacles deserves a safe space.
I like being a curious facilitator in my client’s own process of gaining insight and awareness. I want my clients to tell their own stories, while they reshape and take back their narrative in a way that is empowering to them.
I believe in the necessity of human flourishing and want my clients to be able to live fulfilling lives in whatever form that looks like for them. Together, we can go through the darkness on a path towards healing, finding meaning, and helping you become your own therapist.
I am a member of and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, and I have invested in cultural humility that specifically uplifts my Allyship and support of the NBPOC commUNITY. I am employed by GrowURpotential
