Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy in Alameda & Walnut Creek

Are you feeling stuck? Experiencing painful feelings, anxiety, or depression? Do you wish you had the confidence to create the life you dream of? Are you hoping to improve your relationships or to change a “bad habit”? Many people come to see me after years of trying to “figure it out” on their own. You don’t have to do this alone.

If you are experiencing entrenched patterns, behaviors, or conflicts that leave you feeling frustrated or hopeless that things will ever really change, if you would like to become unstuck and build a rich and fulfilling life, I can help. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I am qualified to work with people experiencing these issues and more. With offices in Alameda and Walnut Creek, I am close to many East Bay cities.

About

My Approach -Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with offices in Alameda and Walnut Creek. My primary approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) but I bring all of my training and life experience to this work. I work with couples and individual adults and, among other things, I help people better understand themselves, improve their relationships with others, develop mindfulness skills, create better habits, and experience more fulfillment in their lives.

I work with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, self-confidence (shame, perfectionism, imposter syndrome), addiction, men’s issues, midlife and aging, trauma, and making important lifestyle/health changes. If you are in a rut and can’t seem to climb out of it, if fear or old patterns are holding you back from living the full life you desire, I can help.

Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy in Alameda & Walnut Creek

People come to couples therapy for all kinds of reasons. Some couples come to therapy as a last effort before contacting a divorce attorney. Some couples are navigating a life transition such as marriage, illness, or becoming parents. Some couples feel stuck in a difficult dynamic. Some just want to improve communication. One of the most impactful things we can do in life is to tend to and nurture our relationships with our partners.
