somatic therapy Oakland

Hi, I’m jamie.
I’m a somatic therapist based in Oakland and online in California. I work with folks to create lasting personal change.
I’m most passionate about empowering people to be their whole selves. We so often live a diminished version of ourselves which is sometimes necessary for safety. But we are left disconnected from ourselves and others.
What I love most about the therapy space is the authentic connection that happens at a level far deeper than the norm of our moment-to-moment interactions in this speedy, capitalist culture. I wish there were more spaces like it.
It’s precious, it’s healing, and its impact ripples out into the world.

It has been proven that what makes therapy most effective is the relationship between the therapist and client.
