Therapy in California

Virtual therapy in California for women that want to stop people pleasing and start living for themselves

I’m a California therapist for highly sensitive women; I provide virtual therapy for people pleasers and deep feelers…

If this sounds like you:

  • Why am I so emotional?

  • Why can’t I let things go?

  • How do I stop thinking so much?

  • I’m feeling so stuck in life

  • I’m burnt out from doing too much

  • Feeling anxious in my relationships

  • Wondering, is it me or my relationship?

  • Always overexplaining, over apologizing and over extending

  • People pleasing in relationships

  • Feeling resentment towards family

  • Struggling to speak up for myself

  • Easily triggered, it’s so hard to regulate

  • I don’t feel like myself… I don’t know myself

  • I want to stop being so reactive

You’ve come to the right place.

You’re not broken, you’re just stuck…

You’re constantly replaying conversations in your head, wondering if you said too much… or not enough.

You second-guess your gut feelings in relationships and find yourself overexplaining, over-apologizing, and overextending; even when you swore you’d set better boundaries next time.

While you overthink most of your relationships, you’re reactive in your closest relationship; the one with your romantic partner. You feel guilty and stressed about the relationship and you’re wondering… “is it me?”

You feel anxious when a friend pulls away (or when you think they might be), irritated when family pushes too close, and guilty no matter what you do. It’s exhausting.

And underneath it all, there’s a deep part of you that just wants to feel safe being yourself; not so reactive, not so overwhelmed, not so stuck. You want to finally meet the free, confident, vibrant you.

Therapy that gets to the root of your attachment wounds and your nervous system.

Through bottom-up therapy, (mindfulness, somatics and parts work), heal old wounds, regulate and step into the calm, confident self-trusting baddie you were meant to be.

Imagine what it’s like to…

Imagine what it’s like to feel grounded in who you are, without overthinking every word, overexplaining your needs, or second-guessing your relationships. Imagine communicating for yourself without feeling a tightness in your throat ever time, like you’re about to cry.

Imagine being able to trust yourself, set boundaries with more ease, and being able to feel secure and confident in both friendships and romantic relationships.

It’s possible. Through trauma-informed, mindfulness-based therapy and a bottom-up somatic approach, you can heal your inner child (because let’s be real, much of this work is about that), regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been working so hard to keep you safe.

This is therapy for people pleasers, for women with anxious attachment, for highly sensitive women who are ready to stop surviving and start living a more authentic, fulfilling, and present life.

My Therapy Approach; for going deeper

I take a mindfulness and somatic (body based) approach to therapy; otherwise known as a “bottom up” approach. These approaches target the lower regions of the brain as an avenue for re-structuring the belief system and re-organizing your relationship to self.

I utilize parts work to help you explore the ways in which you carry and operate from emotional wounds. We work to unburden the parts of you that adapted to trauma so that you can connect to your truest, most authentic essence.

I integrate creative and playful interventions including dance, somatic affirmations, intuitive movement, visualization and art.  Through use of playful, creative and movement related interventions, we aim to heal the relationship between your inner child and YOU.

I love working with fellow therapists that want to go deeper with their inner healing journey

If traditional therapy hasn’t felt like enough, or you’ve found yourself saying “I know this already, but I still feel stuck,” you’re not alone. Many therapists reach a point where insight no longer moves the needle. That’s because the parts of you that are hurting can’t be accessed through the mind alone.

In our work together, we’ll slow down.


We’ll listen closely- not just to your thoughts, but to your body, your emotions, and the quieter parts of you that often get drowned out by the noise of responsibility, perfectionism, and pressure to “do it right.”

This is somatic therapy for therapists in California, a personalized, bottom-up approach designed to help you feel instead of just think.

We might…

  • Practice gentle body-based strategies to regulate your nervous system

  • Explore parts work using an IFS-informed lens to meet your inner critic, your avoidant part, or the part of you that shuts down under pressure

  • Use guided visualization, movement, or expressive techniques to give voice to the parts of you that have never had a safe place to speak

  • Create space for grief, longing, or joy through grounding, art, or imagination

  • Build creative rituals or grounding practices that reflect your inner world, not just what the textbooks say “should” work

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all model. This is deep, creative, somatic healing, therapy that honors who you are, what your system has carried, and what it truly needs now.

Together, we’ll work toward:

  • Feeling more at home in your body

  • Reclaiming your voice and needs in your relationship

  • Resting without guilt

  • Accessing clarity and confidence without the pressure to be perfect

  • Letting go of “performing” your healing, and actually embodying it

This work is gentle. It’s honest. It’s real.


And it’s built for the part of you that’s ready to stop surviving and start feeling fully alive.
