In-person Therapy
Deep, effective therapy in Oakland.
In-person Transformative Care.
So much of your day is spent responding to the needs of others. In-person therapy creates a space where you don't have to multitask, perform, or rush. Instead, you can settle into a calm, supportive environment devoted entirely to your healing.

Feel more comfortable discussing personal topics in a private office setting
Enjoy having time to transition into and out of sessions before returning to daily life
Appreciate the opportunity to connect with your therapist face-to-face in a shared physical space
Benefit from subtle, in-the-room cues that can deepen the therapeutic experience
Like separating therapy from the rest of your week by setting aside dedicated time to invest in yourself
Feel restored by spending time in a calm, thoughtfully designed office environment
Prefer leaving your session feeling grounded before stepping back into the rhythm of everyday life

In-person therapy takes place in my office, where we meet in a quiet, private space designed to help you slow down and focus on yourself. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, integrating approaches such as Brainspotting, nervous system-based therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based techniques when appropriate.
-
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll talk about what has brought you to therapy, the changes you're hoping to make, and begin developing a plan that feels aligned with your goals. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we move at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
-
In-person therapy may be a good fit if you appreciate having a dedicated space away from the demands of daily life, find it easier to focus in a distraction-free environment, or simply prefer meeting face-to-face. Many people value the transition into and out of the office as part of the therapeutic process.
-
The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. We'll discuss what you're looking for, answer any questions you have, and determine whether we're a good fit. If we decide to work together, we'll schedule your first in-person appointment and begin building a plan that supports your goals.
