Individual Therapy in Alameda & Walnut Creek

Therapy can help.

Life is full of demands, just living day-to-day can leave us feeling out of touch with ourselves and out of touch with the people and things that mean the most to us. In the hustle of life, therapy can be a rare reflective space in which we take the time to talk and think about what you are struggling with and also what matters most to you, be it:

• family

• career

• creativity

• friendships

• finding more joy in your life

• adjusting to life after a loss or life transition

• self-awareness, self-compassion, self-confidence

Therapy is a conversation.

Through that conversation, I aim to help people:

• make lasting change

• go places they couldn’t go before

• do things they couldn’t do before

• understand themselves and others better

• develop awareness and mindfulness skills

• discover and address what is getting in the way

• increase self-awareness and mindfulness of the body

• make sense of conflicting thoughts, desires, or feelings

• understand and address the root causes of what might feel like an unsolvable problem

I have training and experience working with a broad range of concerns, such as the following:

• stress

• trauma

• anxiety

• depression

• imposterism

• perfectionism

• procrastination

• performance anxiety

• career and work concerns

• grief, loss, and bereavement

• thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way

• life-transitions such as graduating from college, aging, leaving home for the first time, and getting married

• self-confidence, self-esteem, shame, self-criticism (working with inner critic, superego, judge, the committee)
