Smart, sensitive souls…it’s time to stop beating yourself up.
Online therapy for anxious thinkers and insecure feelers in California.
You want to do more than just “get by”.
Here’s how it hurts.
You…
Spiral into the same anxious thoughts despite knowing better
Beat yourself up—even when part of you knows it's not helping
Feel disconnected from your emotions or overwhelmed by them
Exhaust yourself trying to think your way out of your inner turmoil
Keep running into the same relational patterns
Struggle to act decisively
Can't turn off your thoughts
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 overthinking, worry and dread pulls you under.
You're already self-aware and insightful. Maybe you've even done therapy, read the books, worked on yourself.
The problem isn't that you haven't tried hard enough. Healing anxiety, overthinking and insecurity at the roots—the deep patterns that keep you stuck—requires working at a different level.
I offer depth Internal Family Systems (IFS) psychotherapy for thinkers, feelers and doers who take on a lot…but end up on the hamster wheel of anxiety, self-doubt and burnout. My approach will help you get unstuck, tap into what’s possible, and find a peace that will surprise you.
This is a space where you can 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 Internal Family Systems therapy can help you connect with your calmer, confident and more creative self.

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 compassionately meet you exactly where you're at with an attuned respect for your individual wants and needs?
I offer a free 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.
