Your healing should fit into your life—not the other way around. Telehealth therapy allows us to connect face-to-face over secure video, making it easier to get support when getting to an office is tough. You can expect the same warmth, creativity and presence in our online sessions as in person. Don’t let distance keep you from the care you deserve. Contact me to schedule a telehealth session wherever you are in California.

Relationships aren’t always easy, but they can be transformed with the right support. Whether you’re stuck in the same argument loop or dealing with challenges like infidelity, blended families or chronic stress, couples therapy can help you communicate with more honesty and empathy. Learn to turn conflict into connection and grow together instead of apart. If you’re ready to rebuild intimacy and understanding, let’s talk.

🧠 Common Myths About Therapy

Thinking about therapy but not sure what to expect? Let’s clear up a few common myths.

🔹 Myth 1: Therapy is only for people with serious problems.
Truth: You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people come to explore relationships, manage stress, or build emotional awareness.

🔹 Myth 2: The therapist tells you what to do.
Truth: Therapy is collaborative. You will explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns with guidance, not prescriptions.

🔹 Myth 3: Therapy is just venting.
Truth: While talking things through can help, therapy also offers tools, insight, and strategies that support real change.

🔹 Myth 4: If therapy works, it works quickly.
Truth: Change takes time. Therapy supports lasting growth, not quick fixes.

Therapy is a place for reflection, growth, and healing. Whatever you are facing, support is available.

Mental load vs. emotional labor: What’s the difference?

Mental load is the invisible task of keeping everything organized—remembering appointments, managing to-do lists, planning meals, and making sure things get done.

Emotional labor is the work of managing feelings—your own and others’. It includes staying calm during conflict, offering reassurance, and smoothing over tension.

In many relationships, one person silently carries both. Over time, that imbalance can lead to burnout, resentment, or disconnection.

Therapy can help clients name what they are carrying, create healthier boundaries, and work toward more equitable dynamics—at home and beyond.

📌 How to Know If Your Therapist Is the Right Fit

Starting therapy is a big step. Finding the right therapist can make all the difference.

Here are a few signs your therapist might be a good fit:

✅ You feel safe enough to be honest, even when it’s uncomfortable
✅ You don’t feel judged, dismissed, or rushed
✅ They listen closely and remember what matters to you
✅ You leave sessions with new insight, clarity, or direction
✅ Your therapist welcomes feedback and adjusts the approach if needed

Therapy is not always easy, but it should feel collaborative and respectful. If you feel unseen or stuck in sessions, it is okay to speak up or explore other options. The relationship itself is part of the healing process.

🧠 You deserve support that truly feels supportive.

Healing doesn’t always come with fireworks. It often looks quiet, slow, and maybe even invisible to others.
It’s getting out of bed on a hard day.
It’s taking a deep breath before reacting.
It’s noticing a critical thought, but choosing not to believe it.
It’s setting one small boundary that used to feel impossible.

Progress isn’t always loud or linear. Sometimes it’s choosing something different; something kinder, just once. And that once matters.

The small moments you often dismiss? They are signs of growth. They are you, healing in real time. 💛

You can’t logic your way out of a pattern your body learned to survive.

That’s where expert help matters. Someone who understands how the system works and how to gently support change from the inside out.
