Relational, Integrative Psychotherapy
IN-PERSON IN ORINDA | ONLINE ACROSS CALIFORNIA

Live more fully.

Reconnect with yourself,
and with what matters.

Depth-oriented therapy for women who appear put-together and outwardly functional, yet feel
uneasy, unsettled, or unfulfilled.

You’re doing what
you are supposed to be doing.

You are functioning,
capable, and meeting expectations

And yet something inside feels off.

You feel uneasy and unfulfilled. You wonder why life does not feel as meaningful or satisfying as you thought it would. On the surface, things look fine. Underneath, something is missing.

When you pause and look at your life, your work, your relationships, your day-to-day routine, you wonder how you ended up here. You know you do not want to spend the rest of your life feeling unsatisfied or empty. Continuing this way is exhausting, and pretending everything is okay no longer works.

You do not know exactly what needs to change. You only know that the life you are living does not fully feel like yours.

Does this sound familiar?

You may be:

Feeling unsettled, anxious, or disconnected inside, even while appearing put-together and capable

Living with ongoing self-doubt or inner tension, while continuing to function well day to day

Questioning your decisions or doubting that you are enough, even when others see you as capable

Holding yourself to high standards and feeling self-critical, especially when you fall short

Struggling to set boundaries without guilt, often people-pleasing or over-apologizing

Navigating a life transition, such as a breakup, empty nesting, or another shift where old roles no longer fit

Wondering, “Is this really it?”, and feeling unsure what needs to change


This work is often a good fit for women who are thoughtful and self-aware, who sense that these patterns did not come out of nowhere and will not be resolved through quick fixes. You may already notice how you relate to yourself and others, and feel ready to slow down and look more closely at what has been shaping your inner world.

Therapy here is not advice-driven or highly structured. There is no pressure to perform or figure everything out. The pace is intentional and steady, allowing space for deeper understanding and changes that feel grounded, integrated, and lasting.

How Therapy Helps

Therapy is a place to slow down and make sense of everything. It’s a space to reflect, feel, and begin understanding your internal patterns, so life can start to feel more meaningful and fulfilling.

In our time together, the work is attentive and caring. We focus on what is happening in your life right now, while also gently exploring emotional and relational patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected. Sessions move at a steady, supportive pace, focused on understanding and meaningful change rather than advice or quick fixes.

Over time, you may:

→ Feel more settled and less internally tense, even when life feels demanding

→ Develop greater self-trust and clarity in your decisions

→ Reconnect with what matters to you and experience life with more meaning

→ Relate to yourself with more compassion and less self-criticism

→ Experience more ease, authenticity, and connection in your relationships

→ Soften the inner critic and begin letting go of the belief that you are not enough

This approach is designed to support lasting internal change, not just short-term relief.

If this resonates, you do not have to figure it out on your own. We can begin with a free consultation.

Hello, I’m Anita.


I offer therapy grounded in a steady, attentive relationship, where we take time to understand what has been shaping your inner world.

I work primarily with women who appear capable and put-together on the outside, but feel uneasy, unfulfilled, or disconnected from themselves on the inside.

In our work together, we slow things down and make sense of what has been shaping your thoughts, emotions, and patterns over time. We pay attention to where you have been, what is happening now, and what may need care beneath the surface so life can begin to feel more aligned, meaningful, and easeful.

Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. Sessions are guided by curiosity and understanding rather than advice or quick fixes. This approach tends to be a good fit for women who want depth, clarity, and meaningful change rather than surface-level solutions.
