Trauma Therapy in Oakland, CA

Somatic, Trauma-Informed Therapy for Sensitive, High-Achievers

Living with trauma—whether from childhood experiences, relationships, oppressive systems, or chronic stress—can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from your true self.

You may be holding so much for others that you barely have space for your own needs.

You shouldn’t have to suffer in silence.
Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Trauma affects every part of your life

Many of my clients come to trauma counseling because they feel:

  • Constantly overwhelmed or emotionally flooded

  • Stuck in survival mode—shutting down or going numb

  • Hypervigilant, tense, or unable to relax

  • Disconnected from their body or intuition

  • Burnt out from caregiving, work, or being “the strong one”

  • Guilty for struggling, even though they’re carrying so much

  • Afraid they’ll always feel this way

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and nothing about your reactions is wrong. Trauma is not a personal failure; it’s your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you.

What trauma therapy can help you shift

When trauma is held in the body, healing must be embodied too. Through somatic and trauma-informed therapy, you can begin to experience:

  • Greater emotional regulation

  • More calm, grounding, and steadiness

  • Relief from chronic overwhelm or shutdown

  • A clearer connection to your intuition

  • Healthier boundaries and more satisfying relationships

  • A sense of empowerment after years of feeling overwhelmed

  • More capacity to experience joy, rest, and connection

Trauma therapy helps you rediscover the parts of yourself that felt out of reach.
