Smart, sensitive souls…it’s time to stop beating yourself up.
Therapy for anxious thinkers and insecure feelers in California.
You want to do more than just “get by”.
Here’s how it hurts.
You…
Over-analyze things to the nth degree
Future-trip about what could go wrong
Are hypersensitive to even a whiff of rejection
Spiral into obsessing and overthinking
Fear you’ll fail
Second-guess yourself
Can’t turn off your thoughts
Struggle to act decisively
Doubt that you’re enough
Beat yourself up
Downplay and minimize the positives
Think you’re too sensitive
Get super discouraged
Are easily overwhelmed
Feel drained and exhausted
Have lost your motivation and drive
Are just going through the motions of life
I see you.
Hi, I’m Elisa.
You’ve accomplished a lot, but still aren’t that sure of yourself. You’ve got high standards and your inner critic always lets you know when you fall short. It's hard to get out of your head and the overthinking, worry and dread pulls you under.
I offer specialized therapy for thinkers, feelers and doers who take on a lot - but end up on the hamster wheel of anxiety, self-doubt and burnout. My individualized approach will help you get you unstuck, tap into what’s possible, and find a peace that will surprise you.
You deserve a space where you have the permission to show up as you are - without judgment - as we tend to the parts of you that are in need of healing and relief.
Let's talk in a complimentary consultation about how my unique style of therapy can help you connect with your calmer, confident and more creative self.
I’ll help you heal.
-
Soothe your mind and feel more confident in your ability to handle life. Whether it’s work stress, fearful thinking, panic or phobias, I can help you find the peace of mind that’s been out of reach for too long.

Does it feel like your sense of self-worth hinges upon how well you do or how much others approve of you? Maybe you feel good about yourself as long as you're getting plenty of external validation…but the moment you mess up or feel judged by others, you beat yourself up. As an "inner critic whisperer," I'll skillfully and compassionately work with the chronic self-criticism that has weighed you down for so long. Clients who work with me have reported feeling much more confident in their value and worth, as well as a newfound compassion and kindness for themselves. If you're weary of being driven by self-judgment and want the freedom and inner support that comes from a secure sense of self esteem...let's talk about how therapy with me can turn things around!
-
Heal the pain of the past and find real freedom from the struggle cycle with the help of a compassionate and trained therapist who really understands trauma - and knows how to heal it.
-
Calm your stress, build your resilience and be more engaged with the life you truly want to live. You’re overworked and overloaded - I can help you re-connect with the healed you.
How therapy with me works
3 steps to relief and change:
-
The therapy relationship is a deeply personal one. You need to feel comfortable with the person you are entrusting with your stuff! Do they have the skill and expertise to effectively help your kinds of challenges? Are they willing to meet you exactly where you're at with an attuned respect for your individual wants and needs?
I offer a full 30-minute consultation so you can decide if I might be a who you're looking for. If it's not me, that’s okay! It's important that you have a right-fit therapist and I'm happy to provide referrals of people who I think could help.
-
We’ll meet regularly to focus on ways to unburden and empower you. We’ll explore practical tools you can use both in and out of session, as well as heal the root issues that are standing between you and meaningful change.
-
You’ll feel more grounded and peaceful, have more clarity and be better able to handle the challenges of life as you connect with your healthy, healed self. There's magic here waiting for you!
