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.
You deserve support that honors your humanity
With nearly 20 years of experience supporting trauma survivors, highly sensitive people, and mission-driven professionals, I offer a warm, attuned, deeply trauma-informed approach.
As a Somatic therapist, I bring together:
Somatic trauma therapy
Nervous system regulation
Mind-body awareness
Trauma-informed, anti-oppressive care
Attachment-focused and relational support
My priority is always your safety, your pace, and your ability to reconnect with the wisdom your body already carries.
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.
