Trauma & Addiction therapy in California
IN-PERSON THERAPY FOR ADULTS, COUPLES, AND FAMILIES IN WALNUT CREEK & ALAMEDA, CA
heya, my name is Katy !
I’m a Psychotherapist specializing in Healing from trauma and addiction
I'm so happy you're here :) After many years of training, degrees, and therapy of my own, I help folks from all walks of life heal from relational trauma, and everything that can come along with that - addiction, perfectionism, hypervigilance, people pleasing, shame, anxiety, and low-self esteem/crappy self-talk. If you're looking for a therapist who's super relational, authentic, attuned, and attachment-oriented, you're in the right place.
Areas of Specialization
Trauma
Relational trauma is the psychological harm caused by relationships that lack safety, stability, and support, often due to neglect, abuse, or inconsistent caregiving. It can have lasting effects on an individual's mental health and ability to form healthy relationships later in life.
Sex & Porn Addiction
Behavioral addictions are compulsive behaviors used to cope with emotional pain, stress, and traumatic experiences. Addressing the relationship between trauma and addiction can help promote recovery and healing and provide a more holistic way of addressing addiction.
Anxiety & Perfectionism
Anxiety and perfectionism can feel like constant pressure to always do or say the right thing or meet unrealistically high standards. Stress, self-doubt, and harsh inner critics can make it hard for us to relax, feel proud of ourselves, or like we are valuable and worthy just the way we are.
Betrayal Trauma
Betrayal trauma is the emotional pain and distress experienced when someone close to you, such as a parent or partner, violates your trust. This type of trauma can significantly impact your mental health and relationships, often leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting others.
Neurodivergence
ADHD and ASD are simply different ways the brain functions in some people. Neurodivergent-affirming care emphasizes understanding and supporting people with conditions like Autism and ADHD, and helping navigate difficulties that may arise, while celebrating what makes us different and unique.
