Individual thearpy for adults
Something feels off and you’re not quite sure how to shift it?
You may find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or more irritable than you’d like.
At times, it can feel like you’re doing everything you’re supposed to; showing up for work, relationships, family yet inside, things don’t feel quite right.
You might be questioning yourself, feeling stuck in certain patterns, or noticing that the same thoughts and reactions keep showing up.
You may be experiencing:
-
Ongoing anxiety or overthinking
-
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained
-
Self-doubt or harsh self-criticism
-
Difficulty navigating relationships
-
A sense of disconnection from yourself or others
-
Life transitions that feel harder than expected
In our work together, we create space to better understand what you’re going through.
We look at patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and reactions while also paying attention to your body and internal experience. Over time, this helps you respond differently, rather than feeling stuck in the same cycles.
My approach is flexible and tailored to you. The goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to help you feel more grounded, clear, and connected in your day-to-day life.
Perinatal & Postpartum Support
Couple's Therapy
Trying to start a family or becoming a parent can feel very different than you expected.
You may have imagined feeling hopeful, connected, or naturally at ease and instead find yourself feeling anxious, discouraged, or not quite like yourself.
Whether you’re trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, or adjusting to life with a new baby, this phase can bring a wide range of emotions that are often hard to talk about. At the same time, you may feel pressure to stay positive or to “enjoy every moment,” making it even harder to acknowledge what you’re actually experiencing.
You might be noticing:
-
Increased anxiety or constant worry
-
Feeling more emotional, irritable, or overwhelmed
-
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
-
A sense of disconnection from yourself, your body, or your partner
-
Loss of confidence or feeling unsure of yourself
-
Stress, uncertainty, or disappointment while trying to conceive
These experiences are more common than people talk about and they don’t mean something is wrong with you.
This transition whether you’re trying to grow your family or adjusting to a new role can affect your body, your identity, your relationships, and your sense of stability all at once.
In our work together, we first focus on helping you feel more stable and supported, and then begin to make sense of what you’re going through.
My work at the MOMS Program at El Camino Hospital has given me specialized experience in the perinatal period and a deeper understanding of the emotional complexities that can come with it.
I work with:
-
Individuals trying to conceive
-
Pregnant individuals
-
Postpartum moms and dads
-
Couples navigating this transition together
You keep having the same argumentand it’s exhausting.
You may find yourselves stuck in the same patterns—one of you pushing to talk things through, the other pulling away or shutting down. Even when you try to do things differently, the conversation can quickly escalate or go nowhere.
Over time, this can lead to feeling misunderstood, disconnected, or alone in the relationship.
-
The same arguments repeating without resolution
-
One partner wanting more connection while the other feels overwhelmed
-
Misunderstandings that turn into frustration or distance
-
Difficulty feeling heard or validated
-
A sense that you’re “missing each other,” even when trying
These patterns are common and they don’t mean your relationship is broken.
Often, they reflect deeper ways each of you has learned to cope, communicate, and protect yourselves in moments of stress or disconnection.
My work with couples is influenced by the Developmental Model from the Couples Institute.
Rather than focusing only on communication skills, we slow things down and look at what’s happening underneath the interaction how each of you experiences the moment, and how those experiences shape the dynamic between you.
You may begin to notice patterns such as one partner moving toward connection while the other pulls away. Together, we bring awareness to these patterns and create space for something different to happen.
In session, I help you:
-
Slow down conversations in real time
-
Express your experience more clearly and authentically
-
Listen to your partner in a new way
-
Stay more grounded, even in difficult moments
The goal is not just to “fix” arguments, but to help you understand each other more deeply and feel more connected over time.
