Teletherapy in Oakland, CA

Therapy from the comfort of home

Teletherapy is a convenient, low-risk way to receive the benefits of psychotherapy from the comfort and safety of your own home. I currently offer teletherapy services to all clients, and virtual sessions are available for individual adults living anywhere in California. I use a blend of somatics, psychodynamics, and mindfulness, which supports clients in making sense of the ongoing conversation between their body’s signals and their mind’s interpretation.

Individualized Care in Oakland, CA

None of us are the same! You are uniquely you, so you can expect individualized care and a customized, collaborative treatment plan. I want to help you understand & process your pain, and I also want to support you in knowing & accessing what makes you feel alive & well. While I have plenty of valuable education, training & experience, I will always honor that YOU are the expert on your experience. This stance is important in my client centered approach. I aim to create a safe space for you to process your experiences and build agency and trust in your own decision making abilities.

All you need is a reliable internet connection, a computer or other device with a camera and microphone, and a private space where you feel comfortable talking.

You're welcome to settle into your favorite chair, grab a cup of tea, and make yourself comfortable. Headphones can also be helpful for maintaining privacy and minimizing distractions. No therapy while driving please! It’s not safe.
