COUNSELING SERVICES
SERVICES
THERAPY FOR YOU
Whether you are coming to therapy to manage anxiety or depression, riding a major life change, working out an old trauma, or desiring to grow yourself into the next stage of life, I am here to support you. We will work with practical, concrete tools and skills. I provide an organized, structured approach to therapy to help you get to the most out of your work.
Within a focused container, we will get to the root of what is causing your symptoms. In addition to the original reason you came for therapy, you will discover greater self-confidence, resilience, interpersonal skills, and connection to your true purpose. These attributes will organically emerge alongside the topic you came to therapy to focus on, helping you build the life you want.
COUPLES THERAPY
I work with couples (and multiples) to deepen your mutual sense of satisfaction, connection, support, and passion. Sex positive and queer, non-binary, kink, and non-monogomy friendly.
I take a dual-layered approach to Couples Therapy.
Skills. This portion of the work is practical and tangible. We work on skills of non-violent communication, problem-solving, connection building, and follow through. This portion of our work together will involve making lists and plans, and often some homework to take with you into your week to practice before our next session.
Styles of relating. Once we establish the relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck, we will work together to understand why it is happening, and how to create new, more positive and productive methods of relating that is focused on generosity and understanding.
My work is rooted in the Gottman Method of Relationship Therapy.
FAMILY THERAPY
It is never too late to heal your relationship with your family. I help families that feel on edge with one another, have suffered estrangements and other forms of trauma and hurt.
What to expect: The first session will be with all the members of the family that are participating in the therapy together.
After this, your family will be seen for sessions in multiple configurations, for example, the parents alone, the children alone, one member individually, etc. Doing this allows the needs of all the unique relationships within the family structure to receive attention and support in creating lasting change.
PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED THERAPY
For Individuals:
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is clinically proven to treat depression, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, addiction, and some forms of anxiety. Working with this modality has helped people break out of plateaus in their healing journeys and make tremendous strides in their therapy.
For Couples:
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is a potent therapy option for couples who have found that traditional couples therapy has not been helpful for them.
My approach with Ketamine for Couples is grounded in my experience as both a a Ketamine Therapist and Couples Therapist. Blending these two modalities can help you break through some of the more challenging gridlocked patterns in your relationship.
PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION THERAPY
Integration therapy is offered for those who have experienced plant or other medicines, and wish to make sense of their experiences.
Integration Therapy can help with making sense of what happened.
Psychedelic experiences can be profound, and can also be confusing. Sometimes the insights we came for are readily apparent, and other times what we got out of the experience is unclear and rather esoteric. I will support you in making meaning of your experience and helping you apply the teachings to your life.
Integration therapy can help actualize the change you want to make.
Insights do not inherently create change. I will help you materialize the realizations you garnered through your psychedelic work. We will work together to develop the scaffolding necessary to manifest the lessons of your journey, and to create the real, practical change that will make all the difference in your daily relationships and living.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE
Some executives have been groomed for the role–they attended business school, were introduced to the mechanics of running organizations or businesses early in their career, and have been building towards an executive role.
And then there is everyone else. Perhaps you landed in an executive role because years into demonstrating expertise in your field you got promoted in a leadership role. Perhaps you had a great start-up idea and decided to strike out on your own, and now you realize that you are in over your head with the mechanics of running a business/organization and dealing with management issues.
Executive Coaching for Ordinary People is a service that adapts psychotherapy tools to the concerns facing executives who do not feel they are “that kind of Executive.” Common issues that we tackle are overwhelm, mission confusion, management concerns, imposter syndrome, work/life balance, and managing the stress that comes with high-stakes decisions.
I will work with you to develop your skill set and roadmap for decision-making so that you have a structured process to make tough choices. I will help you find your confidence, your voice, and your priorities so that you can feel in control of your business/organization and not the other way around.
THERAPY FOR CO-FOUNDERS & BUSINESS COLLABORATORS
Relationships between co-founders or business partners can often take on similar dynamics to other partnerships– attachment styles emerge and both healthy and less healthy relational dynamics present themselves. Many issues can lead co-founders to lose sleep at night: navigating sharing power, the growth or evolution in business structure, management concerns, and possible endings.
I am here to support co-founders in navigating a healthy relationship through the ups and downs of running a business or organization. I will help you stay focused on your shared values and goals, work through challenges so that resentments do not mount, and help you create roadmaps for future flash points so that each new decision does not create a break down in communication.
I will help you manage difficult conversations with clear communication, help you manage the sharing of power, and get on the same team so you can tackle challenges together.
CONSULTATION FOR THERAPISTS
This service is for therapists who are desiring support on the clinical or business side of their work.
Clinically I offer case consultation and supervision.
Regarding business development, I offer coaching services. Since serving in the role of Founder and CEO of Oasis Therapy Center, a group practice supporting the work of many clinicians, with several locations across the East Bay, I offer business coaching for clinicians who want to grow their individual practice into a group. Coaching will range from pragmatic support regarding business strategy and operations, to executive coaching to shore up your own sense of self-worth and resilience.
