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.

The majority of my therapy practice is as an Addiction Couple's Therapist. I offer Private Intensive Weekend Retreats. These are 16-hour workshops that take place in my office in Mill Valley on one reserved weekend. We work privately (just the 3 of us) for two and a half days breaking down your communication issues and learning how to repair and resolve conflicts.

I am a psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, faculty member at Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH), and consultant in Mill Valley. I bring 25 years of experience in the fields of body-based healing and psychology. I have been offering energetic healing, Somatic Experiencing and other body-based modalities since 1990 to help people shift from outdated patterns so they can live fully in 'real time'. Whether supporting individuals, couples, or families, supervising or leading a group, I offer steadfast presence, deeply honed intuition, extensive clinical training, and profound love and care for people.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) with experience providing a wide range of treatments and have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in multiple clinical settings. I work primarily with individuals and families. I have considerable experience working with Children, Adolescents, and their families from various cultural and socio-economic backgrounds in an outpatient setting as well as various acute/intensive settings (i.e.: residential group home, hospital diversion, partial hospitalization, crisis unit, non-public schools). I've also provided psychotherapy and clinical assessment services to adults in the outpatient and community mental health settings.

I have 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples struggling with relationship problems, depression, anxiety, and parenting concerns. I also offer EMDR to clients dealing with past trauma. I work in a supportive and active style to provide both concrete tools for change as well as the necessary exploration of deeper issues which facilitate that change.

Are you experiencing a major transition or loss in your life? Or maybe you need a parenting consultation? Either way, is it time to take charge of change? My goal as your therapist is to help you live a more fulfilling life. If we reduce and eliminate the harmful impact of your symptoms, manifesting from stress, trauma, depression or anxiety, then space can be created to develop and cultivate new skills. You can not stop adverse circumstances Life presents. You can change how you react or respond to those circumstances. Changing Self limiting patterns, frees you to take a new path forward. I look forward to meeting you.

"Live the life you love. Love the life you live!" I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and am here to help you address what is preventing you from being your best you. Whether it is a belief that you learned when you were a young child, an old hurt, or even something you may have inherited, like anxiety, I will help you understand the past, live in the present and create your best future.

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.

If you are reading this now, you may be struggling with feelings or experiences that have become hard to bear and even understand. You may feel alone and as though no one seems to really get what you are going through. It may be some immediate situation or transition in life that feels extra hard to navigate, or some long-standing grief or pattern in relationships that seems to have a hold on you. You may have symptoms such as anxiety or depression, perhaps with less than optimal means of coping. Psychotherapy can help you understand and change.

I help adults who have experienced severe childhood trauma (complex PTSD) begin to reclaim the life they were meant to live. I work well with dissociative clients (dissociative identity disorder). My focus is on helping clients get back to a stable, fully-functional state where the fear and anxiety is greatly reduced, and the ability to be in relationship is significantly improved. I believe we all have multiple ego states, and accordingly do "parts-friendly" psychotherapy.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I specialize in treatment of anxiety (including obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, phobias, discomfort in any social situation, separation anxiety), child and adult ADD/ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, parent/child difficulties, and coping with chronic and/or life-threatening medical illness. I will help you develop effective coping skills, healthier habits, and new tools for future use. My goal is to reduce anxiety and depression, to increase confidence, and create lasting change. I do neuropsychological testing for youth and adults who may have learning differences.

There's in fact a tried and true way of finally coming to fully trust in yourself, which heals the self-doubt that can otherwise complicate life so unhappily. Whether your self-doubt involves anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, trauma or shame, there sleeps within you the instinctual self-certainty which silences the "critical voices" from your past.To revive an abiding faith in your core self with a reliable confidence in your instincts and innate abilities, you recover the inspired initiative to actualize your life's goals and dreams, while engendering harmonious and mutually respectful relationships with others.

Parents of teens and young adults who are smart, sensitive, thoughtful and seeking more substance in life, LOVE this model of work. I offer 24/7 support and an independent perspective. Everything I do is based on what works, builds on strengths and on helping adolescents answer the three fundamental questions of growing up: "Where do I fit in?", "Who am I and what's MY path in life?" and "Am I good enough?" Once we connect and agree to work together your adolescent or teen will learn to step way beyond what had been holding them back.

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.

The Recovery Without Walls approach transcends the current treatment model for addiction and chronic pain. We integrate pharmacological expertise, personalized care, and tireless patient advocacy to promote healing that extends through all aspects of your life.

For over 33 years I have been blessed to work with individuals and couples who put their trust in me to facilitate their own personal healing. Clients have relied on my devotion, warmth, insights and authentic presence to hold them in a safe, sacred space. Through a collaborative exploration, we explore the thoughts, feelings, belief systems that are at the root of life-long patterns. Awareness of these patterns is crucial. However, lasting change requires more than insight. We need to directly experience and release the underlying energies and wounds that block your life force, so you can live and express your authentic gifts.

The goal of therapy is ultimately to make life easier and to experience positive changes. In therapy, I work towards helping you with your unique needs. We work together to unravel what's held you back and manage difficult things as they come up. Therapy can be long term or shorter term and solution focused. I have over 14 years of experience working with adults, couples, children and families using a variety of modalities. My office is conveniently located in the center of Mill Valley on Millwood Street. It has ample parking. It’s closely located to local schools. And it is in a beautiful space that is also wheelchair accessible.

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 work with adults and teens who are stuck and want to try something different. Come if you're anxious, depressed, grieving, dealing with relationship issues, low self esteem or one of life's many transitions. I appreciate clients who are willing to participate in their self-exploration. This might include trying some art, music, writing, guided imagery or EMDR. My clinical experience includes: intensive in-patient and out-patient treatment at UCSF Langley Porter, Bereavement Counseling at Hospice, on-site school counselor at elementary and middle schools and personal growth through social justice performances with incarcerated men
