Who I help
Parenting, partnering & blended families
Navigating the inherent struggles of relationship, parenting, non-traditional family structures, and major role shifts—on foot in the East Bay or via telehealth.
Becoming a parent or navigating complex relationships is one of the largest identity shifts a person goes through. Whether you are expecting your first child, stepping into a blended family, co-parenting in non-traditional structures, or re-evaluating your partnership, the rules keep shifting.
Most of what people bring to session is the quiet accumulation: the gap between how you expected family life to feel and how it actually feels, uninvited anger and resentment toward partners or co-parents, and the search for your own identity beneath the caregiving role.
Walking suits this stage. There is no waiting room, no sitting still under a clock, and the format tends to make hard sentences easier to start. If a week is impossible, the session moves to video rather than disappearing.
Where the work involves you and your child together, the 90 min In-Home session exists for exactly that. Ninety minutes, in your own home, for parent/child and family sessions alongside the individual work.
“You bring that ungh I don't want to do 'X' thing. Together, we find the roots of those feelings, separate the good roots from the weeds, and replant parts of your inner garden.”

Questions
Practical things worth knowing
Can I come while I'm still pregnant?
Yes. Plenty of people start before the birth, when there is more room to think than there will be afterward.
What is the 90 min In-Home session?
A ninety-minute parent/child or family session in your own home, $300 per session. It sits alongside individual walking and telehealth work rather than replacing it.
What if walking isn't realistic right now?
Then we meet by video. Telehealth is available anywhere in California and most people move between the two depending on the week.
