Therapy for High Achieving Millenials in California.

Hi, I’m Shoma

Hi, I’m Shoma—a therapist for high-achieving millennials who are ready to feel less anxious and more aligned on a personal level.

Success feels better when your life outside of work thrives too. I understand the pain of coming home to an empty house or to a relationship that is fraught with power struggles. Perhaps the life you dreamed of seems so out of reach that you work doubly hard to mask that sadness. What if I told you that you can absolutely thrive at home with family, in intimate relationships and with friends and community? Let me help you achieve this. My style is casual but direct—this isn’t endless “how do you feel about that?” therapy. I offer honest, focused guidance that helps you get unstuck and create real change.

Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s keeping you overwhelmed and build the soft skills, boundaries, and self-understanding you need to thrive—at work and at home.

My approach combines Narrative therapy and CBT with practical tools so you leave each session feeling supported and equipped.

If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I offer free 15-minute phone consultations. Let’s talk.

You’re high-functioning on the outside. But inside, you’re exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in overdrive.

  • What Does Therapy Look Like?

    One session is an hour and we will meet weekly to start. Frequency can wax and wane depending on your schedule and needs.

  • Where Do I Go?

    I work virtually so luckily therapy is convenient and easy for you to access. You can have a session anywhere in the lovely state of California. We will work through a video call and I will help you set it up!

  • About Me

    I am located in sunny San Diego and live by the beach. Walking on the beach is meditation for me! I am blessed with a loving family that includes my husband , toddler daughter and dog daughter. My hobbies include astrology , babywearing as a practice and collector and traveling/hiking. Much to my husband’s chagrin I also often shift furniture to align with what I learn from Feng Shui. In addition to running this practice all of the above keep me quite busy.
