Teletherapy for 94941

In my 30+ years practicing psychotherapy, I have had extensive experience working with adults who are trying to adjust to the problems that life presents to us---a difficult childhood, trauma, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, stress, working with a child who has a difficult mental illness, sexual abuse,couples' relationship struggles (heterosexual, gay, and lesbian), and grief from the loss of someone treasured. Always my treatment goal is to facilitate the improvement in the quality of life for each individual and to look for the creative aspect within the destruction. Healing is a natural process, but sometimes it is difficult to remember that fact.

We collaborate together, targeting difficulties and utilizing personal strengths to support your vision and growth. Examples: parenting the child you have, changing repetitive, downward spirals in intimate relationships, taking on anxiety w/new strategies, setting boundaries and making connections, experimenting with new approaches to old problems. My approach is tailored to your needs, guided by my experience. Together we track progress. In practice since 1979, I see all ages and most problems. I enjoy long-term depth psychotherapy as well as short-term problem solving therapy. I work with parents, couples, families and individuals and consult for psychotherapists.

People seek counseling for so many reasons. Though the Covid-19 crisis has shifted priorities and focus for many of us this past year +, there are still many other issues that bring people to counseling, that still need and deserve attention. We can work on whatever you need now, whatever issues feel most urgent to you - families, partners, work, health, money, etc. Always, we'll focus on strengths, options, and possibilities, and decide together how best to move forward. Using a blend of coaching and counseling, we'll work to create your best life possible, both during this difficult time, and going forward.

Are you feeling stuck in some part of your life? I am a highly skilled psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience working with relationships in crisis, individuals suffering from anxiety and depression and parents trying to help their children find authentic success. My 2007 book "More Coaching for Fatherhood" is a guide to both improved parenting and personal growth. My experience allows me to get to the heart of problems quickly and can help you to arrive at solutions. I also offer a short-term therapy called Focus on Change that provides a comprehensive roadmap for living a more vital and meaningful life.

I take an active role in helping you find your way back onto a path of meaningful direction. While I respect the need to create space and allow for silence and trust building I also don't sit on the side lines. I am there to help you find out what it is that is "wrong" and provide evidence based modalities or paths out of that particular issue. I like using the tools of cognitive behavioral therapy while also helping a person find kindness for themselves in identifying where the problem patterns originated. I have expertise in grief, couples work, recovery and co-dependency as well anxiety and depression. See my website for more.

I'm currently full and opening up my practice again in Fall '24. See link below to join my waitlist or ask me a specific relational question. I have spent over 20 years exploring my own mind/body connection and personal potential through yoga, meditation, hypnosis, triathlon training, rock climbing, cycling, and fire walking. My passion currently is working with couples in varying stages of relationship! I work best with people burdened with ineffectual patterns who know there is more to life than staying stuck! Let me help you transform your relationship to ignite more connection & kindness, playfulness & passion!

"Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us." - Meister Echkart. I am an integral psychotherapist who specializes in working with adult individuals and couples. My approach is person-centered, and I believe that clients benefit most from the truth that they, themselves, discover. My training is grounded in transpersonal psychotherapy, which is informed by depth psychology, existential/humanistic perspectives, and perennial philosophy.

You're too hard on yourself. Others tell you this and you've thought "it's just how I am." And now you've found yourself caring more for others than yourself and still your inner voice is negative and critical - which causes low mood & motivation, isolation, anxiety, relationship distress, trauma triggering & coping habits that actually worsen things. I would like to introduce you to the kind coach inside yourself. In 15 years of practice it's clear to me: the barriers to healing and happiness are linked to our inner voice. Changing from critical to kind, changes everything. Let's help you uncover and love your best self!

I combine LENS Neurofeedback with ancient wisdom, warmth and caring. Are you longing for someone positive to talk to who cares and understands? Someone who has experience with anxiety, ADHD, head trauma, PTSD, depression and finding your place in life and love? I can hold your issues and teach you mindfulness which brings happiness and relief. Days, evenings, some insurance.

Is it time to take a step towards changing those old Self limiting patterns? Those preoccupying thoughts; those intense feelings; those annoying behaviours. Do you want to learn something new about yourself? Depression; anxiety; traumatic stress reactions, whether you are a child, parent, couple or individual, limit the capacity to enjoy Life. Within a therapeutic relationship of compassion, kind attention and patient nudging to risk change, you can create space for yourself, to develop and cultivate new skills. To develop the fortitude of resilience and a more fulfilling Life. Wishing you well.

I see clients in my Mill Valley office or on Zoom. Over 20 years experience supporting diverse people in creating more Passionate, Engaged and Deeply Meaningful lives. I help people become Happier, Calmer and more Empowered in the face of life's many changes. In a compassionate and accepting environment, I welcome all that is going on for you right now, and support you in transforming problematic situations and patterns (including addiction) into a healthier more fulfilling life. Sometimes a bit of unconditional support is what we need to work through difficulties and get to a better place.

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 provide psychotherapy to clients ranging from young children to older adults with a wide range of issues. At some point, in most of our lives, we experience difficulty, turmoil, and/or pain in some aspect(s) of our lives; emotionally, psychologically, in relationships, or coping. I do my best to connect with and understand the people I work with on many levels. Together we identify and explore the patterns of adaptation which are no longer effective and contribute to pain and suffering. Over the many years in this profession, I have been humbled. Real change, however defined, often takes time, attention and care.

I take a systemic, whole-person in-context view to my work. My approach is not one-size-fits-all, rather, we build our plan of care together. Your input on how we work together and where we go with that work is a huge part of the process. I openly acknowledge the inherent power dynamic in the therapeutic relationship, and work to shift that into true relational work - we work as a team. I strive to help you discover your innate capacity to heal, to grow, and am explicit about the methods I use in session to help bring about this capacity. Consent and open dialogue are essential to our work together.

Life is such a precious journey. It provides the opportunity to connect, learn, love, and grow. Yet, we may face many setbacks and challenges along the way. No matter how lost and defeated you might feel right now, please know things can get better. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, anger, relationship conflicts, or any other problems affecting your quality of life, you have the power to create change. But you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy is a way to increase self-awareness and get to the root of the problem and can help you regain hope, meaning and purpose.

Are you having challenges that rob you of the joy and success you deserve? Are you as happy as you want to be? Is your life working out the way you want & expected it to? We all cope with stressors in different ways. I help people deal with stress more successfully with caring, + the powerful tools that therapy provides, to achieve results & solutions.Therapy isn't only for people with problems, who are depressed or anxious. Your therapy is an important tool to improve your life, happiness, relationships, well being, & self awareness - helping you change habits or establish healthier ones.

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.

I am passionate about working with couples and individuals with any life transition issues including all stages of relationship, personal and professional development, recent or past trauma, or moving through any obstacles impeding your experience of joy, compassion and overall fulfillment. For couples, I can help you break negative cycles of distress and estrangement, guiding as you build the safe, intimate, loving connection you desire. Many years of training lead me to study the most current developments in neuropsychology and adult attachment based theory. I am a certified EMDR therapist & certified EFT therapist and supervisor

Every one of us is challenged by living as our authentic selves—in our relationships, careers, or health. If you're anxious, depressed, or confused, experiencing cancer or another medical condition, facing a spiritual dilemma, in transition, or struggling in a relationship, I'm here to help you alleviate your suffering. These are the heart of my therapeutic practice and life interests.
