Individual Therapy

We meet once a week for 50 minutes either in Menlo Park or online in California.

Individual therapy is a relationship that helps you figure out not only who you are, but love who you are. We dive deep into your still waters, and underneath the surface we find the colors, lights, and life that live at the heart of your coral reef. 

You’re too fucking old to not have relationships figured out. But lately, you’ve started to wonder if it’s just normal to feel invisible, if it’s even possible for you to have a relationship that makes you want to dance. When you show up as yourself the way the latest Buzzfeed article tells you to, all you hear is that you’re too direct, too needy, just too much. Now you just find yourself shutting down, keeping as out of the way as possible. You’re tired of feeling scared that your partner will leave or even worse, that she’ll stay and you’ll be stuck feeling this way forever. 

Even your body has started to react and the idea of sex turns you off. Or you go through the motions but it is hard to even feel what is happening. The idea of just leaving and burning down this relationship so that you can breathe and just be yourself feels more and more tempting every day. You might be alone but at least it won’t all be your fault.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. You have worked too damn hard to NOT be you’re messed up parents. You’re kind. You’re smart. There isn’t a Ted Talk you haven’t listened to AND taken notes on. And yet, you find yourself in this place where you feel out of control. The only time you feel like you is when you are away from her relaxing with an edible.

Somewhere along the way, you’ve realized that unless you change, nothing will change. Worse yet, you’re scared that the idea that it is all your fault is true. I’m here to tell you, that story is what is actually keeping you from a relationship that brings you alive. Together, we will uncover what is really keeping you from being the beautiful messy boisterous self that you are inside. It turns out, Ted Talks don’t hold all the secrets. Rather, in exploring your past, we’ll discover the tools you’ll need to build a future with deeper and more fulfilling relationships. When you’re willing to risk investing in yourself, your dreams and your life start to expand. Let’s schedule a consult now. 

Individual Therapy FAQs

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people come to therapy because something in life feels heavier, more confusing, or more repetitive than they want it to be. You may be navigating anxiety, ADHD,  relationship stress, trauma, or a quiet sense of feeling stuck. Individual therapy offers a steady space to better understand yourself, care for what hurts, and begin making choices that feel more aligned with the life you want to live.

Therapy is a conversation, but it is a conversation with intention. In our sessions, we will slow things down enough to notice what is happening beneath the surface: the patterns, emotions, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping how you feel and respond. Sometimes we will focus on practical tools and coping strategies. Other times, we may explore deeper experiences or relationships. You do not need to arrive with the “right” thing to say. We will begin wherever you are.

ADHD can affect much more than attention. It can shape your relationship with time, motivation, emotions, self-trust, work, school, and the people you love. Therapy can help you understand your ADHD with more compassion and less shame, while building tools that actually fit your life. Together, we may work on emotional regulation, overwhelm, procrastination, perfectionism, communication, routines, and the painful inner story that can develop after years of feeling like you “should” be able to do things differently.

No. You do not need a formal ADHD diagnosis to begin. Some people come to therapy already diagnosed, while others are just beginning to wonder whether ADHD may explain parts of their experience. We can explore patterns around attention, executive functioning, emotional intensity, restlessness, burnout, and overwhelm together. Therapy can be a place to make sense of what you are noticing and decide what kind of support would be most helpful next.
