Life is full of transitions. Some you expect; others, you don’t. Either way, the pain runs deep as you grieve what you’ve lost and navigate the uncertainty of what’s to come. The death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a shift in your identity… life becomes tender and unfamiliar. Anxiety sets in. Depression pushes down on you. And the isolation is profound – so much so that it’s hard to imagine ever “moving forward” or “bouncing back.” You’d do anything to dial things back to “normal” – when your body didn’t ache, you enjoyed being with friends, and you didn’t wonder if anyone could understand what you're going through.

Supporting in-person and on-line clients in California.
I support families, couples, and individuals. Whatever the problem, challenge, trauma or pain, the power to change exists within you and your family. I believe that an effective therapist's job is to support a "shift," not to create it for you. Together, we can make progress toward your goals and desires. I am also trained and certified in hypnotherapy.
Since 2020 I have offered Online services, walking and beach sessions which work great with certain personalities, especially children and teenagers. I’m also licensed in the state Oregon and provide online services for people residing in that state.

I believe that at times we all get sad, down, bummed-out, etc… but nobody needs to be depressed; I believe that therapy need not be: - intimidating; uncomfortable; awkward; unsafe; labeling/diagnostic, OR indoors; I believe that life can be really challenging, especially for those who try to get through it alone; I believe that nobody should even attempt to get through it alone; I believe that "craziness" is in the eye of the beholder & each of us is crazy in our own uniquely beautiful ways..

The problems we experience, and the context in which we experience them, can make it seem as if we are defective, as if there is something fundamentally wrong with who we are. Problems can saturate our lives until we think we've been robbed of the power to change. This is not so! We can change our relationship to our problems, through our own strengths and unique knowledge. Eitan is trained in Narrative Therapy, a collaborative approach that separates "the problem" from the person experiencing this problem, and which seeks to help people tell new stories about their lives.

If you’ve lost your sense of self and feel buried under harsh, self-critical thoughts, this could be the first step toward finding your way back. Do you ever find yourself thinking, “Why can’t I just be happy?” If so, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
Many of us were never taught how to be kind to ourselves—especially during moments of struggle. While self-criticism can feel like a form of motivation, it often leads to shame, isolation, and burnout. Mindful self-compassion isn’t about “letting yourself off the hook”—it’s about meeting your experience with courage, honesty, and care.
