Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Oakland, CA
Everyday I meet with individuals and couples who are in the process of confronting worry, depression, conflict and dissatisfaction to find greater joy, peace and meaning in their lives. If and when you decide to take a first step into therapy, I think you will find me to be an insightful, responsive and non-judgmental individual with an extensive therapeutic "tool kit." My approach is interactive and person-centered. Together we will engage in a process of deepening your understanding of the feelings and views motivating your actions, which can then lead to more effective and skillful ways of living.

A satisfactory relationship to one's self is the most significant element in finding a way through life's challenges. Sometimes this pathway feels chaotic, confused, conflicted, or just not strong enough. Sometimes life experiences overwhelm our capacities to contain and reflect on their meaning for us in a way that keeps us from our potential as persons, as partners, or as an employee/job holder. Therapy offers an opportunity to listen to yourself in an uniquely individual, finely-tuned, non-judgmental way. Fears, sadnesses, and blocked places may all find they have something important to reveal to us when explored in a therapeutic relationship.

As a clinical psychologist, I have a broad base of training and experience working with individuals seeking help with a wide range of clinical issues as well as life transitions and personal growth. I emphasize an open, trusting, non-judgmental, and collaborative process. From a practical approach comes a goal of transformation: allowing for new patterns of thought and behavior, and a more balanced and flourishing life.

Healing is not a straight path—it is a river, winding and deep, carving new landscapes within you as it moves. As a licensed Psy.D. Clinical Psychologist, I see therapy as a space where we step together into the current of transformation, not just to mend what is broken, but to awaken what longs to be fully alive.
Your inner world is vast—an ecosystem of memories, emotions, and untapped creative forces. Together, we explore the patterns that shape you, the stories that have kept you bound, and the luminous possibilities waiting beyond. Therapy is not just a process of understanding but of becoming—an unfolding, an expansion.

I work with individuals and couples facing significant life choices and transitions in areas such as relationships, marriage, divorce, parenthood, career, and identity. I also have a sub-specialization in work with survivors of trauma. I am experienced in working with clients from a wide range of cultural and geographic backgrounds. In our sessions I provide clients a place to find support, acceptance, perspective and hope, to explore themselves and their lives in depth, and to develop more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.

Regardless of our histories, healing is possible. I have experienced it myself and have accompanied people in untenable conditions deepen their awareness and access what they need to heal.

I support people to feel compassion for all parts of themselves and live with more resilience and joy. My clients are queer and transgender people, social justice organizers, survivors, people impacted by the legal system, addiction, and/or violence.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in the East Bay since 1996. I offer a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where individuals, couples or families can find self acceptance, safety, access insight and intuition, and cultivate an attitude of kindness toward the self and others. Recovery from trauma, working on communication and relationships, overcoming addiction, spiritual self-development and healing, and coping with depression/stress from major life transitions are common themes. I have taught and supervised therapists in training at various local agencies. I also have a background in holistic and shamanic healing.

You might look like you’re doing fine from the outside: you’re thoughtful, capable, and often the one others turn to. But inside, you may feel disconnected, misunderstood, or like you’re constantly holding parts of yourself back. Many of my clients describe feeling like outsiders or deep feelers in a world that doesn’t always make space for their intensity, sensitivity, or creativity. They’re tired of masking, tired of performing, and tired of feeling alone even when they’re surrounded by people.

As a licensed therapist, I’ve spent years helping people heal and grow. But I began to see the limits of the one-on-one model. Real transformation doesn’t happen alone — it happens in connection.
Every person has a natural ability to heal, not just themselves but others. Traditional therapy rarely activates that power. That’s why I now focus on Transformative Listening, a small-group practice that restores our built-in healing system through presence, safety, and love.
In groups of six, people don’t just receive healing — they become part of each other’s transformation. It’s an experience that turns emotional pain into freedom.

Life moves so quickly these days, it's hard to take the time to really think about who we are and how we are living.

Psychotherapy can provide the time and space to really understand and experience ourselves in a new way. I will listen with curiosity and warmth and will collaborate with you to help effect positive change in your life and relationships.
