Are you worried about your relationship? Does it feel like the ease, joy and close connection you experienced early on is becoming a distant memory? I specialize in helping couples and individuals achieve the awareness, skills, emotional agility, and healing that will enable you to have the secure and supportive relationship you want and deserve. Is conflict increasing, sex decreasing? Is there more complaining, fighting and withdrawal than feeling understood, appreciated and respected? Are underlying problems of anxiety, issues from childhood and loss of trust compounding stressors like kids, finances & in-laws?

Hardly anybody I know aspires to be that average, center-of-the-bell-curve person. In different ways, we all deviate from the norm, which explains our own uniqueness. My aim as a therapist is to work with individuals, couples, triads, and families in a way that celebrates their uniqueness and "incurable deviance." By meeting you where you are, with who you are, in a way that makes best use of your unique strengths, hopes, dreams, and quirks, we can work together as client(s) and therapist to help you address your current challenges, get lots more of what you want, develop skills, transform, and explore new choices available to you.

You might be someone who looks high-functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. You may be navigating trauma, chronic stress, identity exploration, body image or relationship challenges, and feeling tired of talk-only approaches. You want therapy that feels attuned, creative, and nervous-system informed—not pathologizing. Your goal is to feel more regulated, embodied, and whole, to reconnect with your intuition, and to build a life that aligns with your values rather than survival mode.

I see therapy as a collaborative process between client and therapist, each with different areas of expertise. I believe the goal of therapy is not only to solve "problems" but to help clients grow and find balance and wholeness. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) , a method of therapy that numerous research studies have shown to be effective in the treatment of trauma. It has been shown to be as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy and often provides relief in fewer sessions.

I specialize in working with adults who live at the intersection of neurodivergence and high achievement — professionals with ADHD or high-functioning autism who excel in their careers yet face challenges that most people never see. Many of my clients are leaders, entrepreneurs, or experts in their fields who are driven, capable, and intelligent — but behind the success, they may struggle with burnout, anxiety, communication differences, relationship problems, emotional regulation, and the mental toll of navigating a neurotypical world.

I am a trilingual counselor (Spanish/English/ Italian), trained in trauma-informed care including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), Solution-Focused & Psychological Services for Spanish-Speaking Populations.
Life can feel like a roller coaster—our hearts, minds, and bodies soaring at times, and other times sinking low. Along this journey, we may face challenges like depression, anxiety, anger, communication difficulties, low self-esteem, major life changes, or the need to adjust to something new. Each person, couple, or family has their own time to seek support. The important thing to remember is: it’s never too late.
Cada persona, pareja o familia tiene su propio momento para buscar ayuda. Lo más importante es recordar que nunca es tarde.

You’re here because something in you is ready—or at least curious—to shift. Maybe old patterns are keeping you stuck or creating distance from yourself or the people you love. Maybe there’s a story or wound you’ve avoided that’s asking to be held with more care.
Whether we meet online or outdoors in the East Bay, we'll create space for your nervous system to settle, and for your emotions, your story, and every part of you longing for connection to be heard and held.

We are not meant to figure everything out in life on our own. Sometimes we get lost, or overwhelmed or stuck, and we need some help. I believe that there is nothing “wrong” with any of us. You’re not broken; you don’t need to be fixed. It is part of the human condition to experience pain and suffering – and there are times, throughout life, we all lose contact with pieces of ourselves. When we get stuck in a cycle of harmful thoughts and ineffective coping strategies, it prevents us from accessing and experiencing positive events in the here-and-now.
