Attachment-based Therapists in Dublin, CA

We have all experienced challenging times in our lives that have prevented us from living our lives to the fullest. While it can be scary to confide in strangers about your emotional struggle, the connection you establish with your therapist will undoubtedly be a source of relief and comfort that helps you move forward in your life, especially when your family is in crisis. The process of establishing emotional connection with others stems from one of the most basic human needs, and is the building block of healthy relationships. In this way, therapeutic relationship can be utilized to help you flourish in your own personal life.

As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Couples Counselor, I support both couples and individuals—my work is to help you move through pain, miscommunication, or dissatisfaction in your sex life and relationships to find closeness and fulfillment. If sex feels "off": it's boring, or painful, or makes you anxious, OR if you dread coming home from work to avoid another fight OR if you feel alone in your relationship like you're roommates instead of lovers and partners OR if you're healing from betrayal or an affair, therapy can help you (and your partner) repair past hurts to create a fully satisfying marriage/relationship & life.

Are you in pain, struggling with recent events or old patterns and you can't seem to get a handle on things? One minute, you are on the verge of tears.

What if instead of turmoil and exhaustion, you could feel lighter, a calm confidence, and a new sense of peace and freedom? It is possible and I can help.

I believe that people are innate problem solvers. However, in order to solve problems successfully, we need three key ingredients: information, capacity, and skills. Ideally, therapy isn’t about solving the problem for you, it’s about exploring the problem with you so you can determine how these ingredients are at play and develop your own methods to get them. Sometimes, I like to describe therapy as being an editor of the story you’re writing—they're your words and it is your story, but one can get lost in how to be an effective story-teller. A good editor serves as a guide to help you, the author, produce your best work.
