Therapist for Women in Walnut Creek, the Bay Area, and online throughout CA
YOU CAN FEEL BETTER, MOVING FORWARD IN THIS SEASON OF LIFE WITH HOPE, CLARITY, AND CONFIDENCE.
You’ve come to the right place.
I love helping women not just survive in this season of life, but thrive with feelings of being empowered, in control, and enthusiastic about what’s coming next.
My clients have shared with me that they appreciate how my office is a safe space where they can talk about their current life struggles without fear of judgment. Women have shared with me that they find me easy to talk to, relatable, affirming, and a beacon of guiding light in their journeys to healing.
I know the amount of courage and vulnerability it takes to enter the therapeutic space, and I feel truly honored when women invite me into their lives and allow me to walk alongside them in their paths to healing.
Here are experiences my past clients volunteered to share:
How I work:
Therapy with me is:
Supportive
Real and Authentic
A Partnership
More than just talking
Therapy with me isn’t:
Overly Clinical
One-size-fits all
Rigid
Intimidating
Methods and Modalities
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven method that helps individuals reprocess and heal from painful memories and experiences. Learn more about EMDR here.
CBT/DBT
When appropriate, I will utilize cognitive and behavioral coping skills to assist you in working towards your goals.
Mindfulness
Throughout your treatment, mindfulness practices will be used as a tool to help you feel grounded
Experiential, Emotionally Focused, & Psychodynamic
I strongly believe that attachment disruptions are rooted in many of the struggles we experience. I use attachment theory and an integrative therapeutic approach in session to support you.
