A Healing and Comfortable Space in Lafayette
My Lafayette therapy office is located at the Bay Area Psychotherapy Institute in the heart of Lafayette. The space was designed by therapists to feel calming and put you at ease. Ample parking, tea, comfortable seating, and a warm, welcoming environment create a space where clients can feel supported while they explore difficult topics.
Whether you come in-person or meet virtually, the goal is to make therapy feel accessible, approachable, and meaningful. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but at my Lafayette office, therapy is meant to be a supportive, grounded, and compassionate experience. I create a space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Sessions are relaxed, respectful, and paced to meet your needs — there’s no rush to “fix” anything or force insights. Instead, we take the time to understand your experience and honor your story.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, career transitions, perinatal challenges, new parenthood, intimacy concerns, or life shifts from college, divorce or perimenopause, my approach centers on your strengths, not just your symptoms. Therapy is a collaborative process. I check in regularly to ensure we are addressing what matters most to you, and I welcome questions and feedback throughout the journey.
What Therapy Looks Like
I take a strengths-based, trauma-informed, feminist, and LGBTQIA+ affirming approach. That means we focus on what you already bring to the table while exploring patterns that may be shaping your life, including unconscious influences, relational dynamics, and the impact of social and political systems.
I work within a psychodynamic, relational framework, encouraging depth work that helps you make meaning, find purpose, and build resilience. We explore your experiences together, uncovering insights about yourself, your relationships, and your environment. Depending on your needs, we may also incorporate tools like:
EMDR Therapy – for trauma, anxiety, and emotional healing
Parts Work Therapy – to understand inner conflicts and strengthen self-compassion
Perinatal and Postpartum Support – for pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and early parenthood
Career and Life Transition Guidance – navigating career changes, identity shifts, and life transitions
Relationship and Intimacy Support – building connection, communication, and understanding
Creative and Somatic Approaches – including art, mindfulness, and CBT strategies
Who Benefits from Therapy
My Lafayette office is a welcoming space for:
Adults in their 20s and 30s navigating career, relationship, or identity transitions
New parents or those experiencing perinatal mental health challenges
Individuals managing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, or feelings of “stuckness”
People exploring intimacy, relational concerns, or life shifts such as perimenopause
Anyone seeking a grounded, collaborative, and compassionate space to grow
No matter what brings you to therapy — anxiety, grief, existential questions, trauma, relationship challenges, or burnout — we approach it with honesty, warmth, and curiosity. My goal is to help you discover new strengths, practice coping strategies, heal, and feel more resilient.
