You’re going through the motions—day after day—without joy, without a sense of purpose. You've become disconnected from your creativity, from yourself, and from meaningful relationships.
On the outside, it looks like you’re holding things together. But inside, you feel overwhelmed and burned out—from overworking, over-accommodating, and carrying so much emotionally.
You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and you care deeply. But, self-doubt, social anxiety, and people-pleasing make it even harder to reach out or take up space. You want connection, but it often feels exhausting or out of reach. Most days, you’re just coping—through screens, substances, or whatever helps you get by.
The weight of it all—your past, the pandemic, and political stress—has left your nervous system overwhelmed.
You feel stuck.
The things that once brought you joy—creativity, connection, community—feel out of reach.
You don’t have to stay stuck
I can help you heal from the past, break these cycles, and reclaim your life. I am Rosina Roibal, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), based in Berkeley, CA.
I can help you gently untangle from what is keeping you stuck through:
-
Creating a sense of safety through our relationship and practicing tools to regulate the nervous system
-
Creativity and expressive arts
-
Somatics/body wisdom
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
-
Mindfulness and radical acceptance
-
Exploring thoughts and behaviors, identifying internalized beliefs that aren't serving you
-
Understanding the roots of your challenges
-
Healing "parts" or versions of yourself, such as your inner wounded child
-
Motivating you
-
Collaborating on strategies
In therapy jargon: My approach is client-centered, directive, strength-based, attachment-based, trauma-informed, systemic, experiential, solution-focused, and psychodynamic. I use narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatics, expressive arts, parts work, EMDR, CBT, and liberation psychology.
I am client-centered, therapist-led. And, I lead with love.
Through our work together, you could experience:
-
Greater motivation, creativity, and aliveness
-
Momentum with your creative practice and a sense of purpose
-
A calmer nervous system and deeper self-connection
-
Increased self-acceptance and self-love
-
A stronger sense of agency and empowerment
-
Healthier, more nourishing relationships
-
A sense of belonging and community
-
The freedom to take up space and be yourself
You deserve a life that is actually YOURS, where your sensitivity is honored and creativity flows!
