Relational, trauma-informed therapy for adults in early to mid-adulthood navigating identity, emotional disconnection, persistent unease, and periods of transition.

The Cost of Always Doing Things “Right”

You may be here not because something is obviously wrong, but because something no longer feels aligned. You’re functioning, meeting expectations, and getting through your days, yet there’s a sense of restlessness or dissatisfaction beneath the surface.

You might move through life on autopilot, feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure why what once worked no longer does. Questions like Is this it? or Why doesn’t this feel like me anymore? can arise – especially during periods of transition, or when old roles, identities, or ways of coping no longer fit who you’re becoming.

You’re not broken. You’re paying attention.
And that awareness often signals that something meaningful is ready to shift. Often, these feelings develop over time as ways of coping – patterns that once helped you keep going, but no longer support who you’re becoming.

Therapy here offers a place to slow down and listen more closely to the unease, the exhaustion, and the longing for clarity and connection – without rushing toward fixes or answers.

This isn’t about pushing harder or becoming someone different. It’s about reconnecting with yourself and allowing a more authentic, grounded, and meaningful way of living to emerge.

You may be finding that…

→ You manage responsibilities well, yet feel unfulfilled – like something is off beneath the surface

→ You’re in a season of change and have outgrown old roles or expectations, but aren’t yet sure what fits now

→ You hold yourself to high standards and often feel like you’re falling short or not enough, caught in cycles of perfectionism or self-doubt

→ You feel pressure to keep holding everything together – keeping the peace, meeting expectations, or staying composed, even when it means saying yes when you want to say no

→ You overwork, over-give, or over-apologize in an effort to prove your worth, while a harsh inner critic makes it hard to feel ease or satisfaction

→ You feel disconnected from yourself, your emotions, or your relationships, moving through life on autopilot rather than feeling fully present

If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place – and you don’t have to make sense of it alone.

Welcome To Bountiful Health

A Boutique East Bay Therapy Practice in Orinda, CA

Bountiful Health offers thoughtful, depth-oriented therapy for adults in early to mid-adulthood who feel emotionally stuck, unsettled, or unfulfilled, even when life appears to be going well.

Many clients come to therapy after years of holding themselves to high standards or meeting expectations, often during periods of change or ongoing stress, only to find that something still feels missing.

As a boutique practice, we keep our caseload intentionally small so therapy can be personal, responsive, and carefully paced. The work here is relational and integrative, shaped around who you are rather than a one-size-fits-all.

Therapy is available in person in Orinda and online throughout California.

Hello, I’m Anita

I’m the founder of Bountiful Health. I work with adults in early to mid-adulthood who feel stuck, unsettled, or disconnected, often while navigating life transitions, anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense that something is missing.

My approach is relational, integrative, and trauma-informed. Therapy is collaborative and intentionally paced, with space to explore how past experiences shaped the ways you learned to cope, and how those patterns may now be getting in the way of feeling more grounded, connected, and at ease.
