Therapists in Alameda, CA

Are you getting overwhelmed trying to cultivate healthy relationships and a balanced life? Challenges in life and relationships often create stress and uncertainty, leaving us feeling disconnected and anxious. However, through self-compassion and mindfulness, we can find our way to feeling more connected and grounded. Imagine rediscovering that sense of calm and connection within yourself and with others. I incorporate a holistic and collaborative approach in guiding individuals and couples to process their experiences and gain skills to live a more authentic life.

Life can be difficult and sometimes we just need someone to offer us support and help us towards a more positive, clear direction. Relationship Issues, Sadness, Anger, Stress, Anxiety, Work Issues? I assist individuals with the difficult, and sometimes unpredictable, adjustments that they may experience or may need to make in their lives. I do this in a calm and safe environment that allows for an individual to express their feelings, share their thoughts and opinions, develop skills, and work towards completing their goals. I also offer a supportive, unbiased, non-judgmental space and relationship which fosters personal growth.

I engage with each person as an individual that requires a unique set of skills specifically altered to address your personal sources of distress. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate and supportive environment so that you can create the change you are seeking. There are times in our lives when we struggle with the most valuable relationships in our lives. It helps to be able to reflect together, problem-solve toward solutions and ways of coping with someone who can remain objective and supportive. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is important in order to grow in therapy.
