somatic therapy Oakland
Transformation is possible.
Hi, I’m jamie.
I’m a somatic therapist based in Oakland and online in California. I’m most passionate about empowering folks to be their full selves. We so often live a diminished version of ourselves which is sometimes necessary for safety. But that leaves us 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. 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 (aka the human relationship).
I know what a difference Therapy can make when you feel stuck and Alone.
I accompany folks in finding their way out.

specialties
college students & Young adults
I work with young adults with anxiety, depression or trauma. I strive to create a space where you get to explore your experience, find ways to cope with how you are feeling, and figure out how to live the life that matters most to you.
therapy for men
I work with men with depression or men who want to heal from their pasts, including trauma, in order to create more fulfilling relationships and lives.
burnout
Burnout is prolific these days, not just at work. We can work together to help you best support yourself during this time and explore how you really want to be expending your energy.
If you don’t fit into any of these categories, but you’re interested in working together, please reach out and we can explore if we may be a good fit. I work with a broad range of issues and clients, including trauma and grief.
My Modalities
Somatic Psychotherapy
Attachment-Based Psychotherapy
Somatic psychotherapy focuses on the mind-body connection and attachment-based therapy focuses on relationships. Together this way of working creates lasting personal change.
