Family Systems Therapists in Oakland, CA
With 20+ years of experience, I work with individual adults, teens, couples and families using a relational model integrating DBT, family systems and self-compassion perspectives. I can help you build an increased understanding of yourself and learn new ways to cope with life’s challenges, big or small. Whether you are struggling with a recent transition or have been experiencing severe symptoms for some time I am here to help. Having worked in subacute psychiatric settings for many years I am skilled at helping clients and their families understand and manage behaviors and symptoms that some other clinicians are hesitant to treat.

I gravitate towards humanistic, person-centered, psychodynamic, narrative therapy, parts work, existential, family systems and mindfulness modalities.
Hello and welcome! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist that is dedicated to creating an inclusive, authentic, and safe therapeutic experience. Therapy with me focuses on collaborating with individuals and couples seeking to explore their current and past experiences, personal identity, and gain insight into what may no longer be serving them in order to cultivate growth and healing. In addition to working with individuals, I am passionate about collaborating with couples of all kinds to navigate the challenges of communication, stressors, intimacy, and differing experiences that show up in relationships.

What would it be like to be understood? No really?! The journey truly starts when we first seek to understand ourselves. Through personalized, identity affirming intervention and an unconditional judge-free zone, I implement healthy relationship building with each one of my clients first. As a result, trust can be established and influences you to be empowered yet vulnerable, ultimately leading to healthy behavior modification and a deeper awareness of how to thrive even through adversity.

My practice is increasingly focused on working with dynamics of estrangement between family members. These estrangements include parents and adult children, as well as adult sibling estrangement. When families are young, children and parents often form very close, bonded, loving relationships. As children mature, and eventually leave home, families can wind up struggling to grow in order to continue satisfying relationships. Adult siblings also find maintaining loving relationships can be challenging. Working together in family therapy can help improve communication, address concerns and heal wounds and misunderstandings.

I welcome collaboration and creativity in the therapeutic process! My approach is to listen with curiosity and attention. I enjoy working with neurodivergent adults and adolescents. I support couples and relationships that are experiencing challenges because of different "wiring" that leads to misattunement and dysregulation. I understand the challenges that parents can face in taking care of their complex children. I work with all identities and family structures. I welcome clients who are queer, gender diverse, or in less traditional relationship configurations.

In my career I have had the privilege of working with children, teens, adults, parents, couples and families, supporting them in their growth process. Therapy is sought out for a variety of reasons. For some of us, life circumstances have impacted us in such a way that effect how we interact with the world and those around us. Life is created by the situations we encounter, and the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our relationships. Therapy provides an intentional space to explore our relationships with others, ourselves, and the dance that takes place between the layers and intersections of these dynamics.
