You are not here to talk in circles.

Neither am I.

I offer therapy for people that are ready to stop struggling with anxiety, relationships, trauma, and grief. People who are ready to do something about what’s not working. You don’t have to be in crisis. You just have to be done feeling stuck.

In-person, virtual, and home visits in the East Bay.

I offer sessions at my Rockridge office (one block from BART), via secure video, and home visits for couples and home bound clients when scheduling allows.

The first step is a 20 minute free phone conversation. No commitment. No pressure.

ABOUT MIRA

I understand what it means to belong to more than one world.

I came to the Bay Area as an immigrant, and I’ve spent the last 30 years building a life here, across languages, cultures, and contexts. I grew up in Germany, originally from Romania, I am raising a multiracial daughter in the East Bay.

I understand personally and not just professionally, what it means to belong to more than one world and not feel fully at home in either.

You won’t spend our time together explaining things I should already understand.

A historic monument with classical architectural design, stone sculptures, and a domed roof, situated beside a reflective pond surrounded by trees and greenery.

I work with many clients who carry the weight and pressure of being a first-generation professional, the grief of cultural dislocation, and the complexity of family systems that don’t map well onto American norms. This can lead you feeling unheard or misread in spaces that were never built with you in mind.

If your family history, cultural context, immigration experience, or racial identity is part of what brings you to therapy, it belongs here. This isn’t a policy statement. It’s just the way I listen.
