Therapists for Children in Lafayette, CA
Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. Stress, uncertainty, emotional pain, and feeling stuck can leave us wondering how to move forward. Whatever you're carrying right now, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself, your needs, and your path forward.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. I focus on understanding the whole person—not just the symptoms—and tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, values, and goals.

I have comprehensive experience supporting adults, families, couples, parents and kids and a robust background of working with LGBTQ and neurodiverse populations.
I'm a direct and empathetic therapist. I practice from a neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQ+ celebrating, trauma-informed and intersectional lens to help others feel validated in their unique experiences of the world while also providing them the tools to navigate modern society and relationships with an increased sense of self-compassion and empowerment and decreased sense of shame. I specialize in helping adult women navigate challenges with self esteem and neurodivergence and couples/families of all iterations. I have a collaborative, solution-focused, intuitive therapy style and prioritize building a deep bond with each client.

For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life.
With couples I often use Emotionally Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy. I believe relationships are complex and one must use ALL tools available when trying to help. I help people find creative ways to reinvent themselves after divorce, loss of a spouse, and other major life transitions.

I believe that growth happens in the context of authentic connection. I’m not a “smile and nod” or “how does that make you feel?” type of therapist. I bring my genuine self into sessions—listening deeply, being present with you, and offering honest reflection. Sometimes the stress, expectations, and difficulties of family, work, and relationships leave us feeling stuck. Whether it’s the presence of anxiety, the weight of depression, the overwhelm of balancing too many roles, the challenges of ADHD, or the reminders of past trauma, it can feel exhausting to keep going without support.

I work with children, teens and adults.

I work with people who have experienced trauma and are seeking relief through an integrative, relational, and somatic approach. Drawing on somatic techniques such as EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, I support my clients in connecting to the felt sense of their bodies as a source of information. I believe that a gentle inquiry into the body’s felt sense allows us to safely integrate the past into the present and clarify what’s true for us in any given moment.

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.
