Therapists in Oakland, CA

My personal and professional experiences has helped me understand that life can often make us feel lost. It challenges us and often makes us question who we are. I am here to be a companion on your journey of self-discovery while assisting to bring more clarity and meaning into your life. I believe every person has the answers they seek rooted within them just waiting to be unearthed. Life can be difficult to navigate alone, and we process our experiences best through social connection. I can provide you with a safe place to explore your struggles while challenging you and providing a sense of acceptance.

Be the star of your own life, the author of your own story; by having the courage to face your fears and the imagination to explore your dreams, you are able to embrace your true reality. My approach is insight oriented with the belief that you are the expert in your life. I enter each therapy session with sincerity and compassion. By focusing on your strengths, I enjoy shoring up the foundation to make way for new developments and positive growth. My style is informed by: family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused and narrative approaches.

My goal is to help others restore or create happiness in their lives through self awareness, improving crucial and important relationships, increasing self esteem and reducing anxiety. Together we will discover, explore and work together to overcome blocks to success and happiness and restore a sense of happiness and satisfaction in your life. I offer a safe place to discuss life issues, behaviors and situations that may be painful, so that you may feel relief from these burdens and develop other choices you may not have thought of in the past.

If you're "sick and tired of being sick and tired," feel empty, lonely, sad, wonder who you are, where you're going or other issues, I can help you as a teletherapist. Supportive psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and life coach, talking with you, not at you, respecting your inner wisdom and the choices you make. No problem is too big or too small. In private practice since 1990.There are no judgments just solutions. Learn who you are not who you're supposed to be.

Have depression, fear, or anxiety been keeping you from living the kind of life you desire? Are you seeking to heal the effects of a past trauma, or change old behavior patterns that seem to be getting in your way? I have successfully helped individuals facing these challenges to experience a greater sense of peace and well-being, and to achieve their personal, relationship and professional goals. Clients often describe feeling a more positive sense of themselves and their life choices as a result of our work together.

When you need help - and all of us need help sometime - you want to tell your story to someone who is warm and supportive. Someone who is intelligent, trained, and familiar with the problems you face. These problems may involve family or marital relationships, insecurity, anxiety, depression, loss, or grief. Or the problems may be specific to people undergoing divorce, immigrants struggling with American language and culture, or artists striving to make their mark. All of us want someone on our side who is caring and helpful, someone who can clarify and show the way. My goal is to be that person for my clients.

I specialize in anxiety, especially clients who have had past trauma. I work with both individuals and couples, especially if someone in the relationship has had past trauma. Some of the types of trauma I address in individual therapy are abandonment trauma, sexual trauma, racial trauma and physical abuse. Other challenges I support individuals with include perfectionism, overly responsible, avoidance, fight or flight responses relationship issues & grief. Emotional healing is key to recovering from your past. I support my clients to understand their emotions better and learn how to move through their emotions in a healthy way.
