Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing personalized care through telehealth. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and stress-related challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported without judgment. I take a collaborative approach to care and include medication management when appropriate. I also offer services in both English and Spanish.
Hi! I'm Olivia. I've been in therapy practice for six years, and am grateful for the opportunity to get to know you! As a queer and neurodivergent person, my career as a therapist has always moved in tandem with my commitment to social and economic justice. My work has taken me to settings with folks experiencing homelessness in South Los Angeles; with justice-involved adults in treatment court diversion programs in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood; in young adult shelters for art therapy groups; with low-income immigrant parents of young children; and with teens and young adults with significant trauma histories.
Through all my roles I always commit to centering community and individual strengths that help arm my clients with the tools necessary to repel various types of systemic violence and oppression. I believe that therapy is inherently political because being human is political.

I have vast experience with a wide variety of clients. My professional history includes children living in abusive environments, teenagers who are struggling to access their education due to mental health concerns, families navigating dysfunction and adults dealing with a variety of life difficulties.
I currently work, primarily, in corrections with inmates struggling to adjust to the custody environment. I offer crisis intervention in addition to ongoing support.
I approach the therapeutic space with compassion and openness. I meet my clients right where they are emotionally and in their healing journey.
I am passionate of all things mental health! I enjoy working in crisis situations, and supporting individuals going through the ups and lows of life. My goal is to sprinkle confidence and joy into life

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Oakland
Finding family therapists in Oakland starts with understanding what your family wants help working through. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, or major life changes. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists for family issues, look for listed experience with family counseling services, counseling for family conflict, or therapy for family problems that match your specific needs.
In Oakland, the right fit may depend on location, schedule, and who needs to attend each session. Some families prefer in-person therapy in Oakland near work, school, or home, while others use virtual sessions to make scheduling easier across multiple calendars. Session structure can vary — some meetings may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, caregivers, or individual family members. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how each therapist describes their approach, session format, availability, and experience with counseling family problems.
Family therapy in Oakland 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 care begins. Headway helps you search Oakland therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
