In my work as an executive coach and psychologist I help clients achieve what they want to reach their full potential. My clients are intelligent, successful executives who value the chance to discuss issues they can’t reveal to others. I help them optimize work performance, communication, accurate self- and other-awareness and personal/professional fulfillment. Through our work, clients have been able to resolve challenging situations, build productive relationships, learn new ways to respond, and master complicated emotions and stress.

You don't have to do this alone. I specialize not in one, but four of the latest, cutting edge therapies to address trauma. I use somatic therapy tools such as Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and more to help you not only manage your stress but achieve Post Traumatic Growth. I bring you 20 years of expertise to get you the most effective results you can in the shortest amount of time. If you feel it's time to do things differently -to get support when you need it most-then contact me today.

Are you or a loved one having difficulty coping with chronic illness (cancer, HIV, heart disease, diabetes, COPD, pain or other illness) or managing stress in your life? Health issues can affect every aspect of your life, including relationships, work, finances, mood, and sense of self. I have over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples and families improve the quality of life and reduce suffering. As a Clinical Health Psychologist, I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy and will work with you to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Few things are as valuable and sustaining as a good, long marriage. Few things are sadder than feeling far away from your partner. I am frequently the third or fourth marriage counselor a couple has tried; and often hear that our work together makes changes that didn't happen in earlier therapeutic work. Instead of letting you have the fight in my office that you have in your kitchen, I actively intervene to help you start having more satisfying, effective communication. It's not enough just to work on solving problems. I help couples find more day to day marital intimacy.

I am a psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and consultant who has been serving clients in Mill Valley and throughout CA since 2005. I bring 28 years of experience in the fields of body-based healing and psychology and began my somatic-based practice in Mill Valley in 1997. I offer Somatic Experiencing and spiritual modalities via tele-health to help people shift from outdated patterns so they can live more fully in 'real time'. Whether supporting individuals, couples, or families, I offer steadfast presence, deeply honed intuition, extensive clinical training, and profound love and care for people.

In my experience, therapy can bring about real and lasting change. The therapeutic relationship is the key to that growth and change. The more you get to know and trust yourself, the better your relationships will be with others. I value listening carefully and working collaboratively with clients in a down-to-earth, gentle, and direct way. We look at how the past can influence the present and how current behaviors and feelings may interfere with having fulfilling, intimate relationships at home or at work.

Anxiety, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in kids can show up in big ways and leave families spiraling. Being a parent of two myself I get that we can’t always prevent our kids from struggling, but we can give them the skills to thrive in the face of life's challenges. With skill building through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), I help kids and parents develop a toolbox of evidenced based strategies to face their fears and courageously take back their lives from anxiety and OCD.

I work with clients who find themselves in a place of stasis, often when some situation, whether it is grief triggered by loss, or anxiety and stress resulting from an involvement with high-conflict personalities, has impeded their ability to meet their goals. Many individuals feel stymied and frustrated by a feeling of being "stuck." For high-achievers, the ability to set and meet goals has become an ingrained expectation, and the feeling of something, or someone, interfering with their ability to parent, work, or enjoy life, can feel like an new and insurmountable predicament.

I see individuals, couples, and adolescents seeking support, insight, and emotional stability when facing distress and challenges. They understand the benefit of my helping them to bring the dark feelings into the light, enabling them to be addressed and resolved in a straightforward, honest manner. These include coping with transitions, intimacy and illness, as well as successfully navigating parenting and aging. I have extensive experience within medical settings, providing emotional support to cancer patients, and their families, and the tools to gain resilience, address medical questions, and explore end of life concerns.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California since 2002. During this time I have worked in community mental health, serving children and families in the Bay Area. I am also the parent of two young adults and I understand the challenges of parenting. I would describe my approach as strengths-based and client-centered. I believe that change can only occur when you feel safe and supported. I strive to create a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients, where together we can find solutions.

Do overwhelmingly emotions hinder you from living a full healthy life? Do you sometimes wish you had a larger capacity for overwhelming emotions? When out of proportion, stress, anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, shame and grief are just a few human emotions that can massively effect our physical bodies and cause immense challenges in our daily lives. Whether you’ve experienced a decline in health, challenges with romantic or personal relationships, career burnout, addictive habits, increased doubt, or simply feel lost and unsettled on your journey, there is hope! Emotions do not have to dictate our lives.

Seeking help takes courage & thoughtfulness. You may feel old difficulties have resurfaced or painful events keep reoccurring despite your best efforts to make things better. You may feel frustrated that you are at a place where things improve for a short time but don't stay stable or good for long. Perhaps life has changed for you in unexpected ways and now there is less peace, less joy and more heartache or confusion. Persistent, intense feelings inside yourself or with your partner/spouse/child/family may be too much to bear. An experienced, supportive, well-trained psychologist like myself,can make make an enormous difference.

I work with highly sensitive, creative individuals who want to explore their identity, the impact of past experiences on their lives, and find freedom in moving forward with intention. I have worked with clients who are healing from addiction, trauma, and physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. I also help couples to create deeper understanding in their relationship and resolve conflicts and ruptures in order to move forward happily.

I am a relational somatic therapist, which means that being real matters and the relationship that develops between us is important. Part of the process of therapy is buidling trust and cultivating an alliance. The work I will assist you with involves a sincere effort to go inside yourself and uncover what you're actually experiencing, and then communicate that. We can discuss your difficulties and identify how you can influence them.

I specialize in couples and individuals going through the various transitions of life and relationship. I find many feeling stuck either in relationship stress repeating the same fight or individuals using maladaptive coping skills that keep them from succeeding or enjoying life. My goal is to identify and treat the attachment threats to foster new emotional experiences that redefine the relationship as a source of security and comfort. I see myself as an active participant in bringing out your best self. I am curious about the stories we use and how they limit or expand our possibilities.

I see adult patients (18+) for neuropsychological assessment. Individuals can experience changes in thinking for many reasons, and the goal of the evaluation is to assist in accurate diagnosis and provide recommendations for daily life to help you function your best.

***Currently accepting new Clients*** Welcome, stressed out moms! Life can be complicated, and sometimes you need to take a minute (or maybe 50) to talk to someone who will truly listen. I strongly believe in the words of Carl Rogers and treat all my clients with "unconditional positive regard." In particular, I know how hard it is to be a mom. We deserve to feel good, and our children will also do better when we feel better. Therapy helps us to feel unburdened. It allows us to see our challenges objectively and therefore tackle life's problems with more ease.

Therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach. I am an integrative psychotherapist with an extensive background in working with mood disorders, dual diagnoses, prosocial behavior management and stress reduction. My approach is to integrate elements of several schools of therapy to address the emotional, behavioral, psychological, cognitive and spiritual dimensions of my clients. This strength-based approach allows me to design a therapeutic strategy for each client based on their specific areas of concern.

My specialties are Grief/Loss and Divorce. I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Client centered techniques. If indicated, I like to have your sessions take place in nature. My life has taken me from experience, to study, and now to the service of others who are suffering as a result of Grief/loss and/or divorce. You may not believe it now, but these life traumas can act as a force that helps you awaken into a more conscious and self actualized human being.

I offer affordable, quality therapy for those yearning to identify and change dysfunctional thinking, behavior, and emotional responses. Life is stressful enough, that the additional financial cost of therapy should not increase that stress. I believe in offering a sliding scale to those that actively want to change their lives. My training uses a Psychodynamic approach (self awareness of how you feel immobilized) and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Strength based interventions. This means we work collaboratively, in order to actively change negative thought processes, into patterns that elevate your life rather than hinder your true potential. office locations: MV& Novato.
