Holistic Relational Therapy Oakland | Somatic & Integrative Healing for Bay Area Individuals and Couples
​Specialized relational psychotherapy that sees the whole of you. Guided inner work for what's underneath.
​
Mind wrestling old patterns? Body holding trauma and memory? Spirit reaching for something truer? Feeling lost or seeking purpose? I help Bay Area adolescents, adults and couples overcome anxiety, depression, relational challenges, trauma, and life transitions through somatic-informed therapy. Whether you're stuck in rumination, seeking deeper meaning, or ready for guided inner work with non-ordinary states, my evidence-based approach creates safety to prepare, explore, and integrate lasting change.
​
Some people arrive ready for deeper therapy or know they need help breaking anxiety patterns, depression cycles, or trauma loops that won’t shift. Others sense a door unopened: a rumination, relationship pattern, or quiet ache they can’t change alone. Either way, this type of work requires a guide who is clinically grounded and genuinely experienced in the territory, someone who knows how to prepare you, hold what arises, and help you integrate what you find.

IFS, Somatic & ACT Therapy in Oakland | Bay Area Psychotherapy
You've built a life that looks right from the outside. But something isn't adding up. You're functioning, maybe succeeding, and quietly struggling at the same time. You've hit a wall you can't think your way through. A relationship or career isn't working. Previous therapy felt like the therapist never quite got you. Tony specializes in supporting people who need more than symptom management. Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Buddhist psychology, and mindfulness, the work is relational, insight-oriented, and direct. We get to what's driving the patterns and making you feel stuck. Oakland. San Francisco Bay Area. In-person East Bay and virtual throughout California.
Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy & Integration | Oakland Facilitator | Bay Area
Formerly Program Director at the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics, Tony holds advanced certificates in psychedelic facilitation from UC Berkeley and Fluence. He provides specialized preparation and integration therapy for those working with ketamine and other non-ordinary states of consciousness, helping translate expanded experiences into lasting insight, growth, and embodied change. His approach is grounded in harm reduction, ethical practice, and relational depth, informed by the historical and cultural contexts of psychedelic work. Rooted in Buddhist psychology and years of contemplative practice, Tony understands this territory from the inside.
Couples Therapy Oakland | EFT & Depth Work for Relationship Patterns | Bay Area
In couples work, the room can fill with history, hurt, and parts that need to be heard. It takes a therapist who won't get lost in content, who doesn't take sides, and who can hold the pain and bring out the love. Tony specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) couples therapy for partners caught in cycles they can't break alone: trust and betrayal, communication breakdown, intimacy issues, relationship anxiety, and the slow drift of disconnection. He blends in ACT, depth psychology, and a steadiness shaped by years of contemplative practice. When you feel safe with each other, everything else becomes possible.
Bay Area Healing Therapy Testimonials
"I feel like I wasted so much time just going through the motions. Nothing in my life felt like enough. That's all changed. I feel like myself. My purpose is clearer. I'm still working on myself, but it no longer feels like work."
"We'd been in couples therapy before. It didn't work. I almost didn't try again. But something about working with you was different. You didn't take sides. You didn't let us spiral. We found our way back to why we love each other."
"Thank you for playing such an important role in my process. Without your support and guidance, my journey would have looked very different. I'm so satisfied with how it went. Truly a life changing experience."
"I don't know exactly when it shifted, but somewhere in our work together I stopped being confused about what I wanted. Things I'd been carrying for years felt lighter. My life is totally differently now. Thanks for holding that space with me."
