Divorce Therapists in Oakland, CA
Most people who reach out to me feel like there's some sort of a gap between what they want and what they have. This gap is uncomfortable, upsetting, or might be painful. And often it's unclear why this gap exists or what can be done to close it or at least narrow it down a bit. Each one of us has a set of life circumstances that need to be taken into account when attempting to improve on our lived-experience. Psychotherapy is the arena in which those personal circumstances, individual preferences, needs, wants, and struggles can be explored.

I have worked as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist for over 25 years. I work with individuals and couples with a broad range of psychological and relationship problems. I very much enjoy the sociocultural diversity of the Bay Area and my psychotherapy practice reflects this diversity.
Helping people maximize their individual potential is a never-ending source of satisfaction. I have special interests in relationship issues, women's issues, cultural concerns, and health-related problems. I also enjoy helping people find a balance between the demands of work, self, spirit and family.

We often seek therapy because we find ourselves feeling lost or overwhelmed by life's stressors and decide that we no longer want to go it alone. My approach is collaborative; I act as a companion or guide to help people identify and explore patterns in their relationships- with others and with themselves. I also foster understanding of how implicit beliefs, formed early in life, influence how we tend to feel and behave now- things that can seem difficult to change. This powerful process allows those beliefs and patterns to come into conscious awareness; from there, we can gain freedom to experience and live life more fully.

As adults, we often carry the stories of our younger selves—our hopes, hurts, and the patterns we learned early on. My approach to therapy integrates a child and adolescent lens to help you reconnect with those formative parts of yourself, fostering healing, understanding, and resilience.

Together, we’ll work toward insight, self-compassion, and meaningful change—honoring both who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
