I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.
As a mature therapist with more than 35 years of experience, I bring both professional expertise and the wisdom that comes from a lifetime of helping people navigate life's challenges. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
I believe that every person has the capacity to heal and grow. I work comfortably with people from diverse cultural, spiritual, and socioeconomic backgrounds and strive to create a warm, respectful environment where clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I love my work and consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they create healthier, more meaningful lives.
I have experience working with a wide range of clients and disorders, ranging from children to older adults across various cultures and occupations. I focus mainly on helping clients through trauma, ADHD difficulties, and sexual issues.
Taking the step to seek out therapy can feel scary. You may even be wondering, "how can therapy help?" But feeling alone and overwhelmed with trying to "do it alone" simply isn't working. Welcome...I am so glad you're here. I offer a safe, warm, empathic space to explore what's going on in your life. I help people feel less alone and more able to move through their challenges by bringing curiosity, care and compassion to the work of therapy.
Life is a lot right now. Work stress, family stress, parenting stress, political stress, economic stress. Together, we will chart the path forward to help you feel more like yourself.
I have been a therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) for 11 years and am constantly amazed at the resilience of the human spirit.

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right provider for ADHD in Oakland starts with understanding what kind of support you're looking for. A therapist who specializes in ADHD can help with building structure, managing time, and working through patterns that affect daily life. If you're also considering medication management, a psychiatrist may be a good fit. Many people benefit from working with both.
Oakland and the surrounding East Bay have a strong community of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider experienced with adult ADHD, someone who offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or a clinician available for virtual sessions. Reading provider bios can give you a sense of their style and specialties before you reach out.
Therapy in Oakland can be expensive without insurance, but in-network coverage can significantly reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an ADHD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
