Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Oakland, CA
Our life experiences can lead us to question our identity and purpose in the world we live in. This can lead us to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Do you want to improve how you face challenges, function in your relationships, and face overwhelming feelings? I place heavy importance on addressing trauma. Trauma disintegrates the parts that make up your whole self, which can leave aspects of who you are hidden from your awareness. Left unaddressed, anxiety and depression can worsen, which can rob you of the necessary connection that all human beings need to thrive. I aim to help you process unresolved trauma.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, racing thoughts, or self-doubt that won’t quiet down? Maybe you find yourself stuck in cycles of rumination or OCD, unable to rest or feel fully present. These patterns often trace back to earlier life experiences and unresolved stress. Therapy can help you make sense of these responses and start building a life that feels more grounded. I use a collaborative, client-centered approach that draws from somatic and mindfulness practices to help regulate your nervous system and create a more peaceful inner world.

Therapy offers the chance to become more present with ourselves. Together we contemplate the human journey and "our stuff". We can also get familiar with our innate mindfulness and compassion. On my journey I've realized that well-being can be learned; through studying our pattern/parts we can get more skillful, a wider window of tolerance. I help individuals and couples see, understand and work with their neurobiological intergenerational attachment wiring. How did we adapt? Who we becoming? With a warm, relational style, I help my clients get unblocked, find meaning and hope, and the freedom to become who they were meant to be.

With a focus on developmental trauma and queer and transgender adults and teens, I believe that early experiences and ongoing structural contexts greatly impact daily life. I work from a relational psychoanalytic lens with a background in somatics, which offers exploratory questions and tools for navigating emotional pain, feelings of numbness, and relationship distress. There is no one way to relate to the past, embody our feelings, or find healing. In therapy, we find a way for you together. My role is to hold curiosity, rigor, and care throughout your own self-discovery.
