Perinatal Support
The perinatal period brings joy, challenges, and big life changes. As a PMH-C certified perinatal mental health therapist, I offer therapy in California for women experiencing postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, pregnancy-related stress or loss. I provide specialized support to help you feel grounded and understood during this transformative time.
Teens & Adolescent Therapy
I work with teens navigating anxiety, self esteem, and identity formation. Over the past three years, I've supported high school students in Marin County, helping them manage academic/college stress, complex family dynamics, and transitions such as parental separation, divorce, and loss. In our sessions, I focus on the importance of healthy emotional expression, resilience, and a deeper sense of self.
Young Adults
Life in your 20s and 30s can feel overwhelming - career paths, relationships, personal interests, and life goals are all shifting. If you're feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure of what's next, I provide online therapy for young adults in the bay area to help you explore your strengths, clarify your values, and navigate life transitions with intention and self-compassion. Together, we create a supportive space to process emotions and develop clarity about the next steps in your life.
Hi, I'm Annalise! I support women through the tender, transformative moments of life — whether you're navigating pregnancy, postpartum, grief, burnout, or uncertain about your next steps. As a PMH-C certified perinatal mental health therapist and AMFT, I'm based in San Francisco and provide therapy across California using a relational, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach.
Our work together prioritizes emotional regulation, trust, safety, and connection, with warmth, patience, and maybe even a little humor along the way. Therapy is a collabortive process, designed to help you feel more grounded, understood, and aligned with your values.
