I offer in-person sessions in downtown Walnut Creek and online therapy across California.
You're doing your best to hold it all together, but inside, it's a different story. Maybe anxiety is keeping you up at night, or the stress just doesn't let up. Perhaps you're carrying the weight of chronic pain, health challenges, or difficult past experiences that make everyday life feel harder than it should. For teens, it may be pressure from school, friendships, or expectations that are hard to manage alone. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Sometimes it may feel like no one truly understands what you are going through. Maybe you feel like you are stuck in a revolving door of thoughts, feelings or actions that continually block you from getting where you want to go. Maybe the stresses and realities of our current world leave you feeling eroded and hopeless. You may have tried therapy, but still don’t feel like you have all the tools you need to handle the stresses of daily life. Are you tired of feeling powerless to lead the kind of life you envision for yourself?

You’re doing well on the outside, but something still feels stuck. You understand your patterns—anxiety, perfectionism, relationship strain—but when it’s time to change them, something inside holds you back. I work with thoughtful adults, couples, and families—including children and teens—who are open to understanding these inner dynamics and engaging in a steady, supported process. This isn’t about quick fixes, but creating lasting change by working with the parts of you that feel stuck so you can feel clearer, more connected, and move forward at a sustainable pace.

I offer options to meet in person, telehealth or even walk'n talks, depending on their changing needs.
You’re capable and self-aware, but still feeling stuck in cycles of stress, pressure, or burnout you can’t seem to shift. You may understand why you do what you do, but insight alone hasn’t created the shift you’re looking for. I help clients move beyond awareness into lasting change by working directly with the patterns that show up in real time.
It’s an active, collaborative process best suited for those who value personal growth, accountability, and are ready to engage in meaningful change.

My ideal client is someone who is doing their best to hold it all together—navigating the complexities of life, relationships, parenting, or personal growth—but feels stuck, overwhelmed, or misaligned with the person they want to be.

They’re curious, reflective, and willing to try something different, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. They may not know what it looks like to live in alignment with their values, but they’re eager to find out.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
