Therapists for Children in Lafayette, CA
I offer in-person and online therapy across CA for children, teens, adults & couples.
Do you feel like worry dominates your day? Do you notice you often second guess yourself and then wonder why you can’t just “figure it out”? Do you feel like no matter what you do, there’s always a voice in the back of your head telling you that you’re doing something wrong? Do you find yourself feeling tense and believing you need to earn time to relax or enjoy time with friends and family?
You are not alone. I will help you learn how to notice and welcome your feelings, rather than judge or avoid them. I will give you the skills you need to nurture the single most important relationship- the one you have with yourself.

You want to live a normal life and not get caught up in the powerful swell of obsessions or compulsive behaviors. Your goals may include improving daily functioning, building healthy and authentic relationships, and feeling confident in who you are.

I specialize in working with children, teens and adults with anxiety, depression and life transitions.
In my work with clients I integrate a variety of approaches, including but not limited to Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and IPT. Humans are dynamic and so I find it important to learn about each person I encounter to be able to meet their unique challenges and needs. I strongly encourage a collaborative approach to treatment as I find this to be most effective.

I primarily specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) therapy for couples, families, adults, and children.
I'm passionate about targeting change and healing with the use of solution-focused, goal-oriented treatment modalities that are grounded in evidence-based practices. My approach includes brain-based techniques grounded in cognitive neuroscience research into neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to physically change shape in response to repeated experience and behavior. I have found that when clients understand how their brain works, they are more empowered to make the necessary changes toward mental health.

When your child, teenager, or family is struggling or even suffering, finding a therapist who is authentic, engaged, and a direct communicator is vital.
I aim to engage children and adolescents by being active and creative in sessions.

I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientations.

My training goes beyond traditional talk therapy and encompasses Play Therapy for children; Somatic Experiencing Training and the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) for teens and adults that enables people to get to the root of their disconnection so that they can feel more alive and connected to themselves.
I have spent much of my career pursuing advanced trainings in PT, SE, and NARM, as well as healing from my own experiences. I believe we can only take our clients as far as we have been willing to go ourselves. We all experience relational trauma on some level and the healing from these experiences requires a collaborative, attuned, and safe relationship.
