Therapy for Individuals in California
This free 15-minute phone call is a gentle way to explore fit — no commitment, just space to ask questions and see what support feels right.
Supportive, mind–body therapy for anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or struggling to slow your mind down, individual therapy can help you reconnect with yourself. I support adults in California who want a grounded, culturally attuned space to process stress, anxiety, and identity-related challenges. My approach blends mindfulness, grounding practices, and present-moment awareness to help you feel steadier and more centered.
Many of my clients are high-achieving Black women and women of color who are navigating demanding environments while carrying internal stress no one else sees. Others are experiencing major transitions—new careers, new relationships, caregiving, grief—and want a space to land without judgment or urgency. Therapy offers a place to slow down, breathe differently, and explore the parts of you that rarely get attention. You don’t have to hold everything alone. Together, we create space for relief, clarity, and a more grounded way of moving through your life.
Who I Support
You’re high-performing, thoughtful, self-aware — but you don’t always feel grounded on the inside. You’ve carried a lot, achieved a lot, and held yourself together in moments where you needed support. You’re not seeking “basic coping skills” — you’re seeking depth, transformation, and a calmer internal pace that aligns with who you know you truly are.
Perhaps this resonates:
You excel professionally but feel emotionally overwhelmed or exhausted
You’re used to being the strong one, the first, or the only
Rest feels unfamiliar, even when you technically have time
You struggle to slow down racing thoughts
You’re ready to focus on internal healing, not performance or perfection
You’re looking for a space where you don’t have to translate yourself — where the parts of you that stay composed on the outside can finally be honest on the inside. Many of the people I work with have spent years navigating demanding environments while managing an inner world that rarely gets seen. They’re tired of holding everything alone. They want to feel steadier in their bodies, clearer in their boundaries, and more connected to who they are beneath the roles they’ve carried. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, soften, and make room for the version of you that’s been waiting to exhale.
This free 15-minute phone call is a gentle way to explore fit — no commitment, just space to ask questions and see what support feels right.
Perhaps You Want Support with
• Anxiety, overthinking, difficulty relaxing
• Burnout, fatigue, stress-related physical symptoms
• Identity, belonging, visibility, and career transitions
• Early family patterns, internalized messages, people-pleasing
• Self-trust, boundary setting, emotional permission
• Returning to the body after years of staying in the mind
You may be navigating one or several of these experiences, but what matters most is the pace and path that feels right for you. Therapy gives you room to notice what’s happening inside without judgment or urgency—to slow down, hear yourself clearly, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been working so hard to keep everything together. You don’t need to figure it all out alone. Together, we can explore what’s beneath the overwhelm and help you move toward a steadier, more grounded way of being.
How We Work Together
My approach integrates mind-body therapy, mindfulness, grounding practices, and culturally rooted care. Therapy is not just about insight — it is about embodied change. We combine gentle nervous-system work with meaningful emotional exploration, so you can notice shifts not only in your thoughts, but in your breath, your pace, your sleep, and your sense of self.
In our work, we move slowly enough for your body to register safety and support, while staying curious about the patterns and protections you’ve carried for years. You don’t have to force anything or perform a version of yourself. Instead, we follow what feels true, present, and possible in the moment. Over time, these small embodied shifts create deeper space for clarity, connection, and a more grounded way of moving through your life.
As therapy deepens, we continue to adjust our pace and focus so the work remains responsive to your nervous system, cultural experience, and lived reality. Some sessions may feel spacious and reflective, while others feel more emotionally active or somatic. Each moment is guided by collaboration—honoring what your body is ready to explore and what needs more time. This rhythm allows for sustainable change that supports both your healing and your daily life.
What Individual Therapy Can Offer
• Relief from constant internal pressure
• Practical grounding tools you can use between sessions
• Increased ability to rest without guilt
• A stronger relationship with your body’s signals
• More clarity, courage, and emotional permission
Individual therapy creates a space where your internal world can finally slow down enough for you to hear yourself. Instead of pushing through, bracing, or performing strength, you’re able to explore what you feel with support and without judgment. Over time, therapy helps you develop a steadier relationship with your body—recognizing its cues, trusting its wisdom, and responding with more compassion than urgency. You begin to notice where old patterns soften, where emotional permission expands, and where your life opens up in ways that once felt out of reach. Therapy doesn’t erase challenges, but it changes how you meet them: with more clarity, more spaciousness, and a deeper sense of your own resilience and agency.
Therapy Designed for Sustainable Progress
We typically begin with weekly sessions for 8–12 weeks, tracking progress as we go. Our work is collaborative — we go at a pace that honors both safety and growth. Some clients pause after a cycle and return later, while others choose long-term development work.
What matters most is that therapy feels supportive rather than rushed, spacious rather than overwhelming. Sustainable progress comes from consistent, intentional work that your body and mind can actually integrate. As you build internal capacity, we adjust the frequency or depth of our sessions, ensuring that each phase of therapy meets you where you are and supports where you’re headed.
You Don’t Have to Carry it Alone
If you’re ready to feel less overwhelmed on the inside — and more aligned with the life you’ve built — I’d love to meet you. Therapy doesn’t require you to be perfect, prepared, or clear about what you need. You can simply come as you are. Together, we’ll create a space where you can slow down, listen inward, and begin building the steadiness and ease you’ve been longing for.
