Hiya! I’m Dr. Lacey, a licensed psychologist in Walnut Creek offering in-person therapy in the East Bay and virtual sessions in California. I work with teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity, trauma, and relationship patterns that have us feeling stuck. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” anything —it’s about getting curious, real, and building emotional flexibility. My approach blends evidence-based care with warmth, humor, and the space for both of us to be humans together. I help clients untangle emotions, build self-trust, and reconnect with what actually matters in a way that feels true.
You’re not broken, you’re just a human. I offer a no-judgment space to unpack all the things, find your footing, and grow without the expectation of positivity or perfection. I’m a trauma-informed, dog-loving professional who believes we all deserve peace, humor, and healing. I’ll meet you exactly where you are—and walk beside you from there.
Whether you’re a young adult figuring yourself out or a parent supporting a teen, you don’t have to do this alone. I help clients manage anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship struggles, and self-doubt. Check out my website or reach out anytime—I’d be honored to support you and know you.
