When we're faced with problems, our instinct is to solve them with the tools we have. Most of the time that works. But sometimes the drive to fix, control, or push through backfires. When we try to "think positive," "be happy," or "stop worrying," what we're really chasing is control. The tighter we grip it, the more elusive it becomes. Over time that struggle can leave us feeling defeated, isolated, and stuck in a life that feels small. I work with adults across California navigating anxiety, burnout, and the identity questions that follow a major transition: becoming a parent, changing careers, or living between two cultures.
I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which makes space for your experiences rather than fighting them. My style is warm and relational, with room for laughter and vulnerability. I'll ask meaningful questions and gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. If you're curious where to start, try the free values card sort I built on my website.
Reaching out can be the hardest part, especially if you've been carrying this alone for a while. Whether you're trying therapy for the first time or giving it another shot, I'd be honored to hear your story. If my approach sounds like a fit, reach out for a free consultation. There's no pressure, and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
