You Feel Like
Something Is Missing.
…and you don't feel like yourself.
From the outside, your life may look fine. You're capable, responsible, and you keep showing up. But beneath the surface, keeping everything together has become exhausting. You feel disconnected from yourself, unsure of what you truly want, or like you're simply going through the motions.
Maybe you've spent years meeting expectations, caring for others, or doing what needed to be done. Now you're beginning to realize the way you've always moved through life isn't working anymore.
-
You wonder why you don't feel happier or more fulfilled, even though nothing is obviously wrong. It's as though you're going through the motions, waiting to feel like yourself again.
-
Maybe a relationship has ended. A career no longer fits. Your children have grown and left home. Or perhaps nothing dramatic has happened at all. Sometimes life changes us without realizing it. What used to work no longer does, leaving you feeling stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself.
-
For years, you've focused on meeting expectations, taking care of others, or getting everything right. Somewhere along the way, your own needs became secondary to everyone else's. Keeping everything together has become exhausting. Now you're not sure what you truly want, and the same patterns keep repeating despite your best intentions.
-
You've reflected, read the books, listened to the podcasts, and talked things through. You understand why you feel this way, but you still don't feel the way you want to feel. Insight matters, but lasting change often comes from experiencing yourself differently, not simply understanding yourself better.
If any of this resonates, then welcome.
You don't have to figure it out on your own.
Hi, I’m Anita.
I am glad you found your way here.
I know what it's like to sense that something isn't quite right, even when life looks fine from the outside.
As a licensed therapist and founder of Bountiful Health, I work with adults and college students throughout the East Bay and across California who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what's next and are ready for deeper understanding and meaningful change.
Together, we focus on reconnecting with yourself, building greater self-trust, and creating relationships and a life that feels more fully your own.
Because understanding what's happening is only the beginning.
You don't have to keep
feeling this way.
Therapy isn't about becoming someone different overnight. It's about understanding the patterns behind how you think, feel, and relate to others, so they no longer have to define how you live.
Within a safe, supportive relationship where you feel genuinely understood, you'll begin to feel more like yourself. You'll feel less driven by anxiety and self-doubt, trust your own judgment more, and feel more at ease in your relationships.
The goal isn't just to feel better in the moment. It's to build a different relationship with yourself, one that continues long after therapy ends.

What Becomes Possible
When you've spent years carrying anxiety, second-guessing yourself, or putting everyone else's needs before your own, it's easy to forget that life can feel different.
Therapy can't eliminate every challenge or uncertainty. But over time, many people begin to notice meaningful shifts in how they relate to themselves, their relationships, and the life they're living.
✓ You stop feeling like you're constantly at war with yourself.
✓ Anxiety and overthinking no longer take up so much space.
✓ You trust yourself more and second-guess yourself less.
✓ Setting boundaries becomes easier and less guilt-inducing.
✓ Your relationships feel more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.
✓ You feel more connected to yourself, your values, and the life you want to create.
Life doesn't suddenly become perfect. But it often feels less like something you're managing and more like something you're living.

02. Connect
We'll talk, answer any questions, and see if we're a good fit. If so, we'll schedule your first session and begin meeting weekly.
03. Move Forward
Over time, you may find yourself feeling less stuck, more connected to yourself, and clearer about what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You don’t need to be in crisis. If something has been present long enough that it’s started to feel like the background of your life, an anxiety that won’t quiet, a pattern you can’t move, a sense of going through the motions, that’s enough. If something here resonates, that’s worth paying attention to.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly. I follow what’s alive for you in each session rather than a rigid structure or agenda. The work is exploratory and relational — real conversation, not a program. Some sessions go somewhere unexpected. Most feel different from what people expect therapy to feel like.
-
Many people have had therapy experiences that felt surface-level, too structured, or like good conversation that didn’t change anything underneath. My approach is relational and depth-oriented, I work with what’s underneath the patterns, not just the patterns themselves. If you’ve done the talking and the understanding and something still hasn’t moved, that gap between knowing and feeling is exactly where this work begins.
-
Yes to both. In-person sessions are available at my office at 23 Altarinda Road in Orinda, CA, serving clients across the East Bay. Online therapy is available to anyone in California — the same relational, depth-oriented approach from wherever you are. Many clients find online therapy just as effective, and it offers flexibility when schedule or commute makes in-person less practical.
-
Sessions are $180 for a 50-minute session.
We are also in-network with the following insurance providers:
Aetna
Cigna
Optum
UnitedHealthcare
If you're covered by one of these plans, your sessions may be partially or fully reimbursed depending on your benefits.
If we’re not in-network with your insurance provider, you may still be eligible for partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.
Many PPO plans cover a portion of therapy fees, often reimbursing 50–80% after your deductible is met.
We’re happy to provide a monthly detailed statement that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

Reach out to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. It’s a real conversation, not a sales call. It gives us both a chance to get a sense of how I work, what you’re looking for, and whether this feels like the right fit. No commitment required. I typically respond within two business days.
