• Are you seeking more satisfaction in your life and relationships?

    Perhaps you are struggling to find or deepen a relationship.

     

    Maybe you tend to lose yourself in relationships, or are in a relationship and feel ambivalent about it.

     

    Perhaps there is a particularly difficult person in your life and your interactions with them are causing you a lot of pain.

     

    Or maybe your relationship with yourself is feeling pretty unfriendly.

  • I work with individuals and couples of all genders and orientations who:

    • Are highly successful in many areas of life, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, and self-critical (imposter syndrome)

    • Take excellent care of others, but don't often know what they need or want

    • Have often felt like they didn’t quite fit in and struggled to be themselves 

    • Have been recently rocked by a sudden loss, unexpected failure, or significant betrayal

    • Find themselves at turning or breaking points in their relationships

    I know how hard it can be to reach out for help when you may be used to handling things on your own. I also deeply know that therapy can help you:

    • Become more effective in dealing with the difficult people in your life

    • Feel more resilient, confident, and capable of enjoying the richness of your life

    • Get closer and more connected to your partner without losing yourself

    • Tame your inner critic and nurture a more compassionate inner dialogue. 

    • Feel more comfortable being who you are living the fullest life possible

    • Deeply understand your inner experience and respond to it with care

    I invite you to call me at (510) 594-4099 or email to set up a time to talk and see if we might be a good fit to work together.
