Psychotherapy Services for Women in Berkeley
As a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping women recognize and amplify inner resources to recover from trauma, anxiety, and distress. My psychospiritual approach integrates neuroscience, psychotherapy, and spiritual counseling to reduce suffering while addressing complex emotional and relational dynamics. With advanced training in mindfulness-based practices, ecopsychology, and trauma treatment, I provide a safe space for clients to explore internalized oppression, cultural identity, and gender-related challenges.My practice combines psychodynamic therapy, Buddhist psychology, and neurobiologically-informed trauma treatment to help clients develop therapeutic presence and emotional resilience. As CEO and co-founder of Inner Science Institute, I also train mental health professionals in progressive social change and spiritual awakening while maintaining a private practice grounded in social justice principles.
