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 functioning
and meeting expectations.

And yet, inside, something feels off.

You feel uneasy, unsettled, or unfulfilled, and wonder why life does not feel as meaningful or satisfying as you expected it would.

Many women who come to therapy are not certain that anything is “wrong enough.” They only know that continuing this way no longer feels sustainable and that the life they are living does not quite feel like their own.

Who This Is For

This work may be a good fit if you:

→  Appear put-together and capable, yet feel unsettled or disconnected from yourself

→ Function well day to day, but live with ongoing anxiety, self-doubt, or inner tension

→ Second-guess yourself, struggle to decide, or doubt that you are enough

→ Hold yourself to high standards and beat yourself up when you fall short

→ People-please, over-apologize, or struggle to set boundaries without guilt

→ Feel disconnected from your emotions, needs, or sense of who you are

→ Are navigating a life transition such as a breakup, empty nesting, or another major change where old roles no longer fit

→ Find yourself wondering, “Is this really it?”

This work tends to be a good fit for women who are reflective and curious about themselves, and open to looking at patterns over time rather than searching for quick solutions.

Therapy here is not highly structured or advice-driven. If you’re looking for clear instructions or fast fixes, this approach may feel slower—but often deeper.

How Therapy Helps

Therapy provides a space to slow down, reflect, and gain a deeper understanding of what has been shaping your inner world, so life can begin to feel more intentional, aligned, and fulfilling.

Our work is attentive and caring. We pay close attention to what’s happening in your life now, while also exploring longer-standing patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, self-doubt, or disconnection. Sessions move at a steady, supportive pace, focused on understanding rather than advice or surface-level 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.
