Psychotherapy in Oakland for anxiety, panic, relationship counseling (EFT), adult ADHD, postpartum issues, and motherhood.



Are you a perfectionist?

Do you have trouble setting boundaries or asserting your needs (in your personal and/or professional life)?

Do you feel stuck or unsure how to move forward?


I’m a recovering perfectionist myself, and I know the struggle of having to assert myself in my personal and professional life (including asserting myself into a brand new career after establishing myself in the legal world). Navigating life transitions can be hard enough; but, with the added pressure we often place on ourselves, it can feel impossible.

Quitting being a lawyer to embark on a completely new profession as a therapist turned my world upside down. It was hard to give myself permission to make such a change, and I felt pressure and anxiety to make it work. Now, I couldn’t be happier with this decision. I’ve always had a fairly balanced "left brain" (logical) and "right brain" (emotional) personality, and I’ve found a career that perfectly suits both aspects of myself.


Psychotherapy in Oakland for anxiety, panic, relationship counseling (EFT), adult ADHD, postpartum issues, and motherhood.

I can help you talk through whatever your situation may be to help you determine:

  • clear, actionable steps to move forward

  • boundaries that need to be set and how to set them

  • realistic expectations for yourself and others


I offer psychotherapy for individual adults and couples/partners, and am able to treat most psychological and emotional difficulties.  I have specific interest in and experience with:

  • Corporate professionals (attorneys and otherwise)

  • Adult ADHD and other neurodivergencies, including ASD and SPD

  • Emotional dysregulation, including overregulation (difficulty feeling and expressing emotions) and underregulation (feeling caught up in emotional chaos)

  • Assertiveness and healthy boundaries, and recovery from “people pleasing”

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Relationship problems, including non-traditional relationships (poly / kink  aware)

  • Fertility issues, peripartum and postpartum concerns, motherhood

  • Hoarding
