Anxiety Therapists in Oakland, CA
I am licensed in California and Nevada with over a decade of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions through trauma-informed, relational, and evidence-based therapy.
Many people seek therapy feeling emotionally exhausted from unhealthy relationship patterns, unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or years of surviving rather than fully living. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and depth-oriented, integrating evidence-based practices, attachment-focused work, and nervous system regulation to support meaningful healing and lasting emotional change. I help individuals and couples strengthen self-awareness, emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and relational patterns within a therapeutic space that is warm, intentional, collaborative, and emotionally attuned.

This practice will allow you to make space for all your emotions - the hurts, longings, frustrations, worries and hopes you carry.
Most people who find their way to my practice aren't in crisis. They're functioning well - often remarkably so. But there's a gap between how things look and how things feel, and that gap has started to matter. Maybe relationships keep hitting the same wall. Maybe you give a lot and still feel unseen. Maybe you've done the self-help, the self-awareness, and you still can't quite shift the thing that most needs shifting. I work relationally and depth-oriented, which means we're not just managing symptoms. We're looking at the roots. If you're ready to do that kind of work, I'd love to connect.

If you are experiencing feelings of sadness or depression, feeling overwhelmed with stress or anxiety, struggling with past trauma, feeling challenged by romantic relationships, having a hard time processing grief, if you are unsure of your purpose in life, confused about the next step in your career, or simply feeling like something is holding you back from reaching your full potential, I'd love to talk with you.
