Lesbian Therapists in Oakley, CA
My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and existential, and I usually see clients long term. In therapy we explore who you are, and how you came to be this way. Key concepts that come up regularly include insight, trauma, attachment, resilience, mindfulness, intention, and values. My clients are curious, sincere, and focused on pursuing the most congruent and authentic version of themselves. And they want to understand what it is that’s getting in the way when they can’t achieve this.

We all have experienced hurt, sadness, discouragement, setbacks, and unfulfilled expectations. Some of us even make choices intentionally or unintentionally that hurt the people we love the most. In my experience, therapy is a safe, non-judgmental place to explore the aspects of our lives that we want to share but may not know how to take the first step. I utilize a collaborative approach with all my clients so that they will pursue lives that they value. I am currently accepting new clients. Please call or email for more information.

Feeling deeply and embracing your emotions to create a life based on your own standards is okay. Embracing your emotions can be scary, but it doesn’t always need to be. I help people make wiser decisions that actually move them closer to where they want to be, rather than being sucked into emotionally messy situations. When you can’t figure out why you have multiple problems in your life you can feel awful about yourself. Our work will find the connection, or the “golden thread” and we will create strategies, so you feel worthy and realize you aren’t broken. The results are relief and confidence. We can only move beyond our feelings

When we have an experience that is traumatic or incredibly stressful, our brains have a hard time processing that memory. This can create symptoms such as, anxiety, depression, overwhelming emotions, difficult feelings, self-blame, or relationship problems, to name a few. If given the opportunity, our minds, like our bodies, have the innate ability to heal. The trouble with difficult experiences, however, is that these memories get tangled, leaving us feeling stuck or showing up in other destructive ways in our lives.

Do you notice yourself bumping up against the same old patterns? You may have disturbing memories that plague you, or feel stuck and overwhelmed by the uncontrollable intensity of past trauma. Maybe you struggle with feeling that you aren't good enough or deserving enough. Maybe you feel weighed down by emotional pain or shame that you can't seem to shake. So often our painful past experiences color our present perceptions, keeping us in a rut, circling through the same negative thoughts and feelings. I help those who feel imprisoned by their trauma break free and find empowerment and healing.
