Individual Therapy in 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 matters most to you, be it:

• relief from suffering

• reconnecting with your creativity

• finding more joy or fulfillment in your life

• finding meaning and balance in work and life

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

• finding your way back to yourself after a loss or life transition

• having more fulfilling relationships or deeper connections with others

Therapy is a conversation.

Through that conversation, I aim to help people:

• make lasting change

• develop mindfulness skills

• understand themselves and others better

• 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

• anxiety

• depression

• perfectionism

• procrastination

• imposter syndrome

• performance anxiety

• career and work concerns

• grief, loss, and bereavement

• self-defeating thoughts and behaviors

• 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)
