Walnut Creek Therapist, Resilience Focused Therapy

Therapy for Individuals, Couples & Teens

I specialize in helping you manage stress, overcome anxiety, strengthen relationships, and heal from unresolved experiences— so you can feel more grounded, connected & confident in your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, constantly stressed, or stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you?

Is your relationship strained by work-life imbalance, communication issues, or emotional distance?

On the outside, you appear to be managing well, but inside, you may be experiencing self-doubt, anxiety, or disconnection. I believe in your ability to overcome your current challenges, and we'll work together to help you develop practical tools to do just that.

Relief is closer than you think, and you don’t have to do this alone— I’ll be here to support & guide you through the process.
