I offer trauma therapy in the Bay Area for high-functioning adults and women who have outgrown the ways they learned to cope—people-pleasing, overworking, staying guarded, or holding everything together—and are now navigating burnout, identity shifts, or major life transitions.

From the outside, you may look like you’re doing fine. But internally, something feels off. The strategies that once helped you survive aren’t working the same way anymore. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure who you are beyond the roles you’ve been carrying.

Approach

My approach to trauma therapy is relational, insight-oriented, and grounded in practical change.

I draw from psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapy to help you understand the deeper patterns shaping your experience, while also building tools that support you in your day-to-day life. Our work isn’t just about coping—it’s about shifting the patterns that keep you stuck, so you can relate to yourself and others with more clarity, flexibility, and self-trust.

Who I Work With

I provide trauma therapy for adults across the Bay Area, including Orinda, Oakland, Berkeley, and surrounding communities.

I work especially well with:

• Women navigating identity shifts and burnout

• High-functioning adults who feel stuck or disconnected

• Caregivers and those used to being “the strong one”

• First-generation or high-achieving individuals dealing with complex or intergenerational trauma

Many of my clients are at a turning point—feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or ready for something to change, even if they’re not sure what that looks like yet.

What Therapy Feels Like

I show up as warm, direct, and engaged.

Therapy with me isn’t about staying on the surface or just getting through the week—it’s about making sense of what’s happening underneath and creating something more sustainable.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. You just have to be willing to look honestly at what’s no longer working.

Focus Areas:

• Trauma & PTSD

• Complex / Intergenerational Trauma

• Life Transitions

• Women’s Issues

• Stress & Burnout
