Greater Oakland is served primarily by secure video, with in-person sessions available up in the Albany office when a client prefers to make the drive. Most Oakland clients choose telehealth — one less commute inside a week that's already too full. This practice tends to attract Oakland's helping professionals: nurses, teachers, social workers, ER staff, first responders, hospice workers, caregivers of aging parents. People who hold space for everyone else and rarely have anyone hold it back. Burnout & vicarious trauma ## The cost of being the strong one. Vicarious trauma is real: after enough shifts, enough families, enough hard conversations, your nervous system starts running someone else's material as if it were your own. Sleep thins out. The startle gets loud. Compassion starts to feel expensive. EMDR and Brainspotting are built for exactly this — for releasing what a body absorbed on the job without needing to re-tell every hard story out loud. How it fits your schedule ## Video, without losing the depth. Sessions run 50, 75 or 90 minutes over secure video. Bilateral tapping and eye-movement sets can be done from your own couch with a little guided setup; Brainspotting works directly through the camera. Same depth, from wherever your week actually lets you sit still. The four approaches ## Body, mind & brain — engaged. EMDR Reprocess memories that keep resurfacing. Flash Technique Gentle, fast — without re-living it. EFT & Matrix Reimprinting Tap into calm you can take home. Brainspotting Body-based release beneath language. ## Book a free 15-minute call. A short, honest conversation about what you're carrying — no obligation.
