Struggling with Anxiety in Oakland or the Bay Area?

Anxiety can show up as constant overthinking, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, or feeling on edge. Many adults carry anxiety connected to past trauma, life transitions, or postpartum changes.

As a Bay Area trauma therapist, I provide EMDR and trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and stress. Online therapy is available throughout California.

If you're ready for support, reach out to schedule a consultation.
