Deepening your inner world to be your whole self in relationships.

Psychoanalytic and attachment based therapy to understand your stories from the past, feelings in the present, and deepening communication in the future. 

In office therapy in Los Altos, CA. Telehealth therapy across WA and CA.

Life can seem good on paper, but on the inside you are feeling stuck, constricted, and simply not yourself. This can show up in a myriad of different ways:

  • Not knowing how you feel and feeling emotionally removed.

  • Feeling disconnected in important relationships.

  • Feeling anxious or codependent around others.

  • Experiencing mid life or quarter life struggles.

  • Feeling a strong sense that something from your past is holding you back.

  • Feeling like you’re too much and no one can handle you.

Areas of Focus:

Depression and Anxiety

When depressive and anxious symptoms rise to the surface it is often due to a blockage in being able to communicate with yourself. This in turn affects your confidence, self image, and how you show up in the world.

Communication and Relationships

Relationships deepen to the extent that you can communicate. Whether it’s a coworker, spouse, parents or with friends, navigating interpersonal dynamics is an area of life to always be working on.

Understanding family of origin and attachment

Increasing research on Attachment styles are confirming how formative our family of origin is on our daily functioning. As adults, we often need a space to process the invisible rules of our childhood, and to identify how they show up in our day to day life.

Hi. I’m Albert.

I work with adults who are working through emotional pain and difficulties in relationships. Many of my clientele focus on understanding the impact of their family of origin, looking closely at their relationship with their emotional health, and wanting to understand how this is showing up in their current relationship with their partners, friends, and loved ones.

I practice from an eclectic approach, integrating relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, existential therapy, along with other approaches as needed. Learn more about my approach here.

I am a strong believer that therapy offers a unique opportunity for healing and transformation.
