When I was a kid, I often got in trouble for being too loud with asking questions and calling adults out on things that didn’t seem fair to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an advocate of some kind. A career in social work, then, made total sense to me when I discovered the field as an undergraduate at San Jose State.
Two more degrees and a license later, I still carry the spirit of that little girl, fighting for the underserved. I have a long history of diagnosing and treating adults with severe and chronic mental illness. I take my work very seriously and it’s important to me to help my clients heal, grow, and thrive.
My clients seek my services as a way to recuperate from lifetimes of overworking themselves into worthiness. I guide them toward unlearning the things that taught them they weren’t enough. I give them the tools they need to create wellness and wholeness in a way that’s unique to who they are.
Through my private practice and my brand, Therapy is a Lifestyle, I want to help you see yourself in new ways - without the lens of your trauma. I specialize in anxiety disorders, EMDR, and other trauma-informed approaches to help you do that.
Let’s take the journey toward your recovery, together. Being here is your first step!
I believe healing begins with meaningful connection. My work with cancer patients and their families has deeply shaped my understanding of pain, loss, resilience, and the complexities that relationships face during times of crisis. I support adults of all ages in navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, and relationship concerns, offering both compassionate guidance and practical, effective tools for growth and healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Oakland
Searching for postpartum therapists in Oakland starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum counseling, or talk therapy for postpartum depression. Some therapists may also list a PMH-C credential, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Oakland offers a strong mix of local and virtual therapy options, which can help you balance clinical fit with day-to-day logistics. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, work schedules, or changing routines. Virtual therapy can make it easier to meet with a postpartum therapist when travel to an office is less practical. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Postpartum therapy in Oakland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before care begins. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check insurance coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
