Therapy in California

Go from feeling “not good enough” to feeling at peace with who you are

Therapy for people pleasers and perfectionists

You’re ready to write a new story for your life; one where you’re someone you actually like. You want to be that girl; the type of person that keeps her home perfectly tidy, does all kinds of good self care, works out on the daily, progresses in her career, and doesn’t disappoint anyone… ever. And as much as you want this life for yourself… striving to make it happen, according to your expectations, has contributed to so much of the anxiety, guilt and shame you carry in the body today.

You want to feel happy, you want life to be a vibe, you want to feel good about who you are and where you’re at in your life. But there’s a part of you that keeps coming up; a critical part that keeps reminding you of all the ways in which you’re still not “good enough.”

If this sounds like you, hello, you’ve come to the right place.

Your perfectionist and people pleaser parts are showing…

If you’re constantly feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, frustrated, on edge, and resentful of others… your nervous system is probably shot. Constant comparison of yourself against others, the constant urge to do more and to be more, and the constant, never ending, thought spirals that keep you stuck in the past and the future are probably wrecking your nervous system even more as time goes on. I get it… and the people pleaser and perfectionist parts are working so hard to see you succeed. High functioning anxiety, am I right?

If only being a perfectionist actually meant being perfect and if only being a people pleaser actually meant pleasing everyone. But, to your dismay and to mine, it doesn’t work that way. We become people pleasers and perfectionists, not because people pleasing and perfectionism actually “works,” but because parts of ourselves adapted to the stress, anxiety, guilt and shame of feeling “behind” or like “a failure.”

You might be overextending, over apologizing, overthinking, and over functioning in ever which way…. until you can’t anymore. This is when we shut down, avoid others, leave texts sitting in our message threads for weeks on end and then become overwhelmed with guilt and shame.

These patterns aren’t happening because you want them to (obvi), they’re not happening because you’re weak, and they’re definitely not happening because you’re not “good enough.” These patterns are present because your system is doing it’s very best with what it knows and with what it’s been through.

Therapy that gets to the root of things. Reset your nervous system and rewire your core beliefs.

Through bottom-up therapy, we address the lower regions of the brain first (aka, the emotional, sensory, and survival brain) as a way to rewire core beliefs and revamp the way you respond to the triggering situations you face in life.

Bottom up therapy, the way I provide it at Mindful Revamp, Inc., is informed by somatic experiencing and internal family systems. We bring awareness to the body as a way to experience, explore, process and release the deeper wounds that led you to your perfectionist and people pleasing ways; these tendencies typically come from very old attachment wounds.

If you’re constantly stuck in your head, overthinking, anxious and insecure or building resentment, you might be carrying deeper wounds that track back into your upbringing.

Alternative to traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy works through the lower regions of the brain to get to the upper regions- instead of the other way around. This is key for individuals with trauma.

My Therapy Approach; to help you heal from the inside out

I take a mindfulness and somatic (body based) approach to therapy; otherwise known as a “bottom up” approach. These approaches target the lower regions of the brain as an avenue for re-structuring the belief system and re-organizing your relationship to self. This is super key for when you “know better” but struggle to do better.

I utilize parts work to help you explore the ways in which you might be operating from old emotional wounds. We work to unburden the parts of you that adapted to your trauma so that you can connect to your truest, most authentic self. We get to know your internal family system on a deep level so that you can lead it.

I integrate creative and playful interventions including dance, embodiments, intuitive movement, visualization and art.  Through use of playful, creative and movement related interventions, we aim to heal the relationship between your inner child(ren) and YOU.

Therapy for therapists looking for therapy

If traditional therapy hasn’t felt like enough, or you’ve found yourself saying “I know this already, but I still feel stuck,” you’re not alone. Many therapists reach a point where insight no longer moves the needle. That’s because the parts of you that are hurting can’t be accessed through the mind alone.

In our work together, we’ll slow down.


We’ll listen closely- not just to your thoughts, but to your body, your emotions, and the quieter parts of you that often get drowned out by the noise of responsibility, perfectionism, and pressure to “do it right.”

This is somatic therapy for therapists in California, a heart centered, bottom-up approach designed to help you feel instead of just think.

We might…

  • Practice gentle body-based strategies to regulate your nervous system

  • Explore parts work using an IFS-informed lens to meet your inner critic, your avoidant parts, or the parts of you that shuts down under pressure

  • Use guided visualization, movement, or expressive techniques to give voice to the parts of you that have never had a safe place to speak

  • Create space for grief, longing, or joy through grounding, art, or imagination

  • Build creative rituals or grounding practices that reflect your inner world, not just what the textbooks say “should” work

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all model. This is deep, creative, somatic healing, therapy that honors who you are, what your system has carried, and what it truly needs now.

Together, we’ll work toward:

  • Feeling more at home in your body

  • Reclaiming your voice and needs in your relationships

  • Resting without guilt

  • Accessing clarity and confidence without the pressure to be perfect

  • Letting go of “performing” your healing, and actually embodying it

This work is gentle, honest, and validating AF.


And it’s built for the parts of you that are ready to stop surviving and start feeling fully alive.
