EAST BAY THERAPY FOR WOMEN
In-Person in Alamo, Danville & San Ramon | Online Therapy in CA
Helping Women in Midlife feel Calm, Steady and Confident again
Overcome Anxiety, Relationship Stress, Trauma and the emotional changes of Perimenopause through EMDR and trauma-informed therapy
Does life lately feel like this?
A constant sense of anxiety that’s wearing down your body, emotional well-being, and closest relationships.
Your body and emotions feel out of sync - Emotions feel bigger, more unpredictable and harder to control, leaving you confused, overwhelmed and not recognizing yourself.
You’re stuck in survival mode - On the outside, everything looks fine but on the inside, you feel tense, stretched thin and running on empty
Mental exhaustion has become your new normal. Shifts in your identity, body and hormones are making it difficult to feel grounded, focused, or fully present.
Painful experiences and old wounds keep resurfacing. You notice the same patterns repeating—reacting instead of responding, shutting down or over-functioning —and you’re not sure how to break free.
Family and relationship strain feels heavier than before - it’s making you feel emotionally worn down and creating stress that spills into every part of your life.
For many women, this stage of life brings changes that make everything feel harder than expected.
Whether you’re facing challenging family dynamics, emotional and physical shifts, or changes in identity and roles, life may feel heavier than usual, and stress higher than it used to be. No matter how you arrived here, you know something needs to change.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
This work is for women who want to feel calmer, more grounded, and experience real relief—not just get through the day. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel steadier in your body and emotions, understand what’s keeping you stuck, and create a clear way forward. You’ll begin to regain a sense of control and show up in your life and relationships with confidence and clarity.
So you can stop surviving and start feeling like yourself again.
Hi, I’m Nardine
I’m here to help you get back to feeling like YOU again.
I am passionate about helping women who feel burdened by anxiety, unresolved trauma and difficult family relationships, move forward with renewed strength and clarity.
Over the last two decades, I have supported many women in finding relief through therapy, using various approaches that blend short term, solution-focused tools with deeper work that gets to the root of the issues.
My clients often share that our work has transformed their current pains into strengths and allowed them to move from surviving to thriving. They walk away from therapy with a greater understanding of their emotions, needs and patterns. They feel equipped with the right tools to create real change.
Throughout this journey with me, you can count on finding a space that’s warm, honest and challenging, where you feel seen and supported.
How I Can Help?
I specialize in women’s therapy
-
Anxiety can take over your thoughts, body, and relationships—leaving you feeling on edge, depleted, and stuck in worry. Learn tools to calm your nervous system, understand what’s driving your anxiety and regain control over your life.
-
Whether your pain comes from one difficult experience or years of unhealthy patterns, trauma can continue to shape how you feel and respond today. Therapy can help you heal from past wounds, break old cycles, gain emotional stability and create safer, more fulfilling relationships.
-
If talk therapy hasn’t brought the relief you hoped for, EMDR offers a different approach. It goes beyond coping strategies, helping your brain process unresolved experiences and create root-level change so you can feel grounded, calmer and steadier.
-
Hormonal changes, shifting roles, and midlife can feel confusing and bring anxiety, mood changes, and emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you make sense of what’s happening in your body and mind, build coping tools and feel grounded during this stage of life.
-
Stressful family relationships can feel isolating, emotionally draining and overwhelming. Learn how to resolve conflict, set healthy boundaries and change unhealthy patterns, so you can rebuild connection and experience peace in your relationships.

( Supporting South West Asian, North African and Middle Eastern individuals)
For many women of color, therapy can feel exhausting when you have to explain or justify your culture before doing the real work. Here you can receive culturally sensitive support where you feel seen, understood and free to focus on healing and growth.
