My work is grounded in the belief that we all have innate resources for happiness and ease that become concealed or undeveloped. Feeling overwhelmed or experiencing trauma we often develop coping skills that may no longer be serving us. It is my role to help you realign with your strengths and wisdom while uncovering what may be blocking these resources. I provide a safe space for exploring the changes you want to make in your life. I will help you address areas in your life where you feel stuck while offering you the tools and guidance to do that safely.

I believe in creating a safe nonjudgemental environment to give the support and tools you need to grow into your potential. I have a great deal of experience in attachment issues, as well as anxiety and depression. My goal is to help you be in alignment with your authentic self. I offer individual therapy to process any obstacles that may be getting in the way of your ability to fully enjoy life. I also have extensive experience helping clients process all types of trauma.

Are you finding that your relationships are not working so well? It can be your relationship to yourself (just not feeling good about your self), your relationship to work (such as difficulties with co-workers or a boss), or your relationships with your family and/ or partner or friends. I believe that we are always striving to move towards personal growth and health. Our work is to remove these blocks with compassion and understanding so that you can achieve the changes that you want to make. My style is an interactive,individualized one with warmth, support, insight and humor.

I specialize in Couples Therapy, Codependency, Emotional Eating, and Eating Disorders. I'm a seasoned therapist and award winning author with over 30 years' experience helping couples and individuals create healthy, happy lives. If you keep thinking the same negative thoughts, or endlessly repeat unwanted behaviors, I can help. You don't need to struggle alone. I will help you transform your unhealthy patterns, negative inner voices and self-sabotaging actions into healthy physical, mental and emotional habits. We can work together to help you build your confidence, improve your relationships and increase your well-being.

I offer Psychotherapy for adults. Common issues include: depression, anxiety, life crises, post-traumatic stress; life transitions, including midlife, the elder years, and aging; emotional growth, self-esteem; grief, grieving, and loss; coping with illness; relationship tune-ups, including communication. I value your thinking, which we will include as we solve your problems. I also focus on your strengths. They often hold a part of the solution. In addition, we may choose to do EMDR therapy. EMDR is a kind of psychotherapy that addresses not only trauma but also difficult life experiences or problems-in-living.

Growth and healing mean different things for different people. Together we'll discover the kind of unique support you'll need to help you understand and rework ineffective patterns, create healthy and fulfilling relationships, and build skills that enable you to meet your personal and professional goals.

The goal of therapy is to enable people to have richer and more satisfying lives. I match my approach to the person I'm seeing, offering both short-term, pragmatic, solution-oriented therapy, and longer-term treatment that involves complex historical material and ingrained self-defeating patterns. I think of therapy as an opportunity to learn better ways to live and thrive in the present. I use a combination of approaches including EMDR, AEDP, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and longer-term work to change recurring patterns.

Estrangement in families is more common than many people realize. Adult children find themselves making the impossible choice to separate themselves from a family they love and can't manage. On the other side, parents can feel fearful and powerless, hurt and confused. I can help you explore how efforts to reach your adult child could be backfiring, and why your selfless generosity may be met with rejection. With training and experience in individual therapy a variety of family constellations, I'm ready to help you get beyond feeling stuck.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist for couples. In this therapy we re-frame and restructure the emotional experience you have with your partner.

This therapy, through experiential work in the sessions, accomplishes amazing shifts in the safety, closeness and love felt with your partner. My approach is highly interactive and experiential.

If you have come to this website something isn't going right in your life or the life of a loved one. I believe we all have the internal resources to become our best selves and it is a matter of uncovering those resources. Many times clients need emotional support, tools and new strategies to find their way. I am kind, compassionate and non- judgemental. I take an active role and give plenty of feedback. I have over 30 years experience helping all kinds of people get back on track and deeply heal Themselves.

Are you concerned or confused by your child, teen or young adult's behavior? Are you worried that your child is under stress? Do you feel like you are not a good parent for your child? It is very difficult to parent a child who is struggling with challenging feelings and behaviors. I provide therapeutic support to kids who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adoption issues, learning disabilities, behavioral challenges, academic or social issues, or major life changes. I offer support for parents.

I currently work adults in individual therapy. My objective in psychotherapy is to help individuals make positive changes in their relationships and their lives. My initial meeting with you will include a thorough evaluation of your history and concerns in order to establish treatment goals.

I am a psychologist with a general therapy practice for adults, as well as a specialty in women's reproductive health (e.g., depression/anxiety in pregnancy and postpartum, perinatal loss, infertility and family building). In addition to treating depression and anxiety, I help people navigate issues regarding stress management, grief and loss, relationships, self-esteem, sexual orientation/identity, eating/body image, parenting, and transitions ( e.g., to college, to parenthood). In addition to providing individual therapy, I facilitate "Pathways: A Support Group for Postpartum Moms" through MarinHealth (Marin General Hospital).

I am a licensed psychologist who works with teens and adults to address Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Relationship Issues, Infertility, Postpartum Issues, ADHD and learning disabilities in both therapy and testing. My therapy clients are individuals seeking to improve their overall functioning through exploring and identifying personal patterns so they can learn to make more successful choices in their lives. Through helping clients develop healthy coping and decision making skills, I aim to instill a long lasting sense of well-being.

Do you feel lonely, anxious or sad? If you are looking for a therapist, you are taking the first step towards feeling better. I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 20 years and provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults and families in Marin. I tailor my approach to your individual specific needs and concerns so that you can feel empowered to make positive changes in your relationships and in your life. I utilize complementary psychotherapy approaches and give constructive feedback to help my clients attain their goals in a safe and supportive environment.

I am a compassionate and caring therapist with 30 years of experience. My first priority in therapy is to lower your distress and give you hope for the future. Together, we uncover the triggers and negative patterns that lead to your unhappiness, and then build a personalized "tool kit" of coping skills, specifically designed around your life challenges. By doing so, you develop a stronger sense of self and compassion for your suffering. With this new understanding, you learn to honor and listen to your authentic self, which is the ultimate key to happiness.

My aim is to help you connect with your authentic self, to facilitate the natural expression of peace and happiness, and to honor your deepest nature. Together we will bring gentle attention to the mind, body, and spirit, and in so doing, begin to unwind old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve your highest good. I integrate somatic awareness, self-inquiry, imagination, mindfulness, EMDR, Internal Family Systems theory, and attention to the therapeutic relationship, with the goal of helping you move towards greater happiness and well being.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) takes healing to a deeper level. Combined with 'top-down' approaches, SE helps identify strengths and intentions beneath painful survival patterns. Shame, fear and anger transform into vital life energy. Surviving becomes thriving. As a private practice psychotherapist based in SF & Marin, I primarily work with adults, but also love to assist children in the healing process.

I work actively with people to assess what is important and meaningful to them. I use inquiry and observation to help you know yourself better, as well as identifying and addressing obstacles that prevent you from fully engaging in life, in relationships and in creative work. This self understanding can enable you to build resiliance and expand your capacity to embrace the inevitable gifts, disappointments, and changes, that life brings your way. These changes may include feeling better about yourself, expanding your ability to develop closer intimate relationships, and create more satisfaction in your work life.
