Welcome.
I am Rosina Roibal,
a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and
I provide trauma-informed individual, relationship, and family therapy
in-person in Berkeley and virtually across California.
I specialize in working with overwhelmed parents.
You are stuck in a groundhog day... day after day, just trying to survive-barely keeping your head above water. Everything is so hard and overwhelming. You can't seem to catch up on anything. It feels like a blur-so disconnected. A “good” day is one where you didn’t yell, snap, or break down. You feel completely out of control. You're doing things you promised you’d never do—things that were perhaps done to you. But, the whining and relentless needs of others really gets to you. This isn’t the version of parenthood you imagined. You always wanted to be a parent, but this reality is nothing like what you imagined.
People say you're doing great. But inside, you never feel good enough. You're hard on yourself, and you feel deeply alone. Friends don’t understand. Family isn’t available or supportive. Other parents are just as maxed out as you are. You don’t feel like a person anymore—just someone who exists to care for others. There’s no time for yourself, no space to breathe. Self-care feels impossible. You're running on fumes. And even though it goes against everything you were taught—by your family, your culture, and society—you know it’s time to ask for help. You're not weak. You're human. And you don't have to do this alone anymore.
I can help you get unstuck.

Therapy won’t erase the demands of parenting—but it can help you meet them with more strength, clarity, and compassion. As a result of working with me, you may experience...
-
Less overwhelm
-
Increased ability to tolerate chaos

More patience with your children and yourself
-
More joy between you and your family

Reconnection with who you are, beyond your role as a parent
It's not about becoming a perfect parent. It's about becoming a present, grounded, and self-connected one. You deserve it. If you're ready, I'm here to help you.
