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.
I have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Oakland, CA
Searching for couples therapists in Oakland starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy in Oakland may focus on communication, recurring conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or relationship stress. Not all therapists have specific training in couples counseling, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bios.
In a mid-size city like Oakland, the right fit often depends on both clinical match and logistics. You may prefer an office near downtown, Rockridge, Temescal, or another part of the East Bay, or you may want virtual appointments that fit both partners’ schedules. As you compare Oakland therapists, look at appointment availability, session structure, and whether a brief initial consultation is offered for couples. Reading therapist profiles can also help you understand how each therapist works with partners and what to expect in sessions.
Couples counseling in Oakland, CA, can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who offer relationship counseling in Oakland, review bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
