When The Pain Feels Too Much
Yes, it can hurt. Whether you feel sad, scared, lonely, or ashamed, the pain can weigh heavily - like carrying a ton of bricks that no one else can see. On the outside, you may look like you’re holding it together. Inside, it can feel like you’re quietly sinking.
You may find yourself asking, whether consciously or not: What do I do to escape from this pain?
Maybe you keep yourself endlessly busy so there’s no time to feel.
Maybe you numb out with food, doom-scrolling, or a glass (or two) of wine.
Maybe you pin your hopes on “someday” - a better job, a different relationship, a future version of yourself who finally feels okay.
It’s human nature to turn away from painful feelings. After all, who really wants to sit with sadness, shame, or fear?
The Problem With Escaping
The truth is, those temporary measures don’t really bring lasting relief. Addictions, compulsions, perfectionism, or constant mental spinning may dull the pain for a little while, but it still lingers, just beneath the surface, waiting for a quiet moment when distractions fade.
And in those still moments, it often returns and whispers: “Remember me?”
Therapy offers another way forward - a space where you can lay down the burden and be met with compassion instead of criticism. Together, we can gently turn toward what hurts, not to stay stuck there, but to uncover the clarity, strength, and self-worth you’ve carried all along.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
Welcome, I’m Anita.
I’m so glad you found your way here!
I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and founder of Bountiful Health, a boutique East Bay therapy practice in Orinda. I work with thoughtful, growth-minded individuals who appear put-together on the outside, yet inside tend to carry self-doubt, shame, or the weight of anxiety and disconnection.
Life’s painful chapters, whether relationship changes, grief, career shifts, or midlife transitions, can leave you feeling unsettled, disconnected, and unsure of who you are or where you’re headed. But with the right support, life can begin to feel lighter, more grounded, and aligned with who you truly are.
At Bountiful Health, therapy is intentionally personal, discreet, and never rushed. It’s a boutique space for real connection where you can slow down, be met with presence, and move toward a life that feels authentic, confident, and at peace.
Whatever you’re carrying, there’s room for it here.
Does This Resonate With You?
You may look like you’re holding it together, but beneath the surface, you feel unsettled, anxious, or weighed down by self-doubt.
Maybe you seem fine on the outside, but inside you’re stuck in cycles of shame, comparison, or self-criticism—always feeling “less than,” no matter what you achieve.
You might be moving through a season of change, loss, or transition, and wonder how you lost touch with yourself along the way.
Or perhaps you walk on eggshells in a relationship, quietly grieving the life you thought you’d have.
Many thoughtful, high-functioning adults give everything to others, while privately carrying exhaustion, self-criticism, and a constant sense of not being enough.
What Becomes Possible…
With the right support, it’s possible to move beyond survival and reconnect with yourself in new ways, uncovering the clarity, strength, and self-worth you’ve carried all along.
As healing unfolds, you may begin to:
Feel at home in yourself again
→ move from just surviving into a life of greater ease, balance, and authenticity.
Quiet the inner critic
→ softening perfectionism and self-doubt with compassion.
Reclaim your worth
→ honoring your own needs instead of over-functioning for others.
Find clarity and calm
→ easing the weight of overwhelm and constant overthinking.
Deepen your relationships
→ setting boundaries without guilt and allowing yourself to be truly seen.
Reconnect with your authentic self
→ living with greater freedom, purpose, and alignment.

Self-Esteem, Self-Worth, & Shame
When comparison or self-criticism takes over, therapy helps you break free from the inner critic and reconnect with your worth.

Anxiety, Stress, & Overwhelm
Racing thoughts and constant pressure don’t have to control your life. Therapy offers calm, clarity, and tools to steady your mind.
-
Depression, Emotional Disconnection & Inner Emptiness
When life feels heavy or hollow, therapy creates space to gently rediscover meaning, hope, and connection.
-
Life Transitions & Identity Shifts
Divorce, career changes, or evolving roles can leave you feeling unsteady. Therapy helps you find steadiness and clarity as you navigate change.
-
Relationship Challenges & Attachment Wounds
Explore patterns, build healthier boundaries, and open space for connection that feels safe, authentic, and fulfilling.
-
Complex Trauma & Emotional Wounds
Healing past pain takes courage. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to release old burdens and create new possibilities for connection and meaning.
These challenges often overlap … and so do our lives.
WHATEVER shape your challenge takes, you DON’T HAVE TO carry it alone.
Therapy is a place to rediscover meaning, fulfillment, and hope… one step, one conversation, one connection at a time.
How To Begin The Therapy Journey…
We’ll start with a free 20-minute consultation to connect and see if it feels like the right fit.
If it does, we’ll schedule weekly sessions where you’ll have space to slow down, feel heard, and move forward at your own pace.
Over time, therapy can help you feel steadier, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
You don’t have to keep pushing through alone.
At Bountiful Health, therapy is more than an appointment; it’s a boutique space for care, presence, and genuine connection.
Here, you can let go of what’s been weighing on you and begin to move beyond survival, creating a life that feels lighter, freer, and more authentically your own.
