"Everyone has the capacity to heal. I have led many couples, even on the verge of divorce, to resolve conflicts, reawaken love and rediscover passion. The only requirement is that they be deeply motivated. My primary task is moving partners from "Me vs. You," to "Us," and often from roommates to lovers. The author of THE HEART OF RELATIONSHIP, I have worked with couples for over 30 years and excel at improving both communication and intimacy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental framework and a highly pro-active, pragmatic, creative approach. Please see marincouplescounseling.com"

"If you suffer from anxiety, depression or just want to make a change in your life, I am here to help. I work with you to gently explore your internal landscape to uncover and resolve the unconscious issues that keep you stuck. My approach is founded on mindfully working with negative thought patterns and the difficult emotions that stem from them. I support you in developing constructive and life affirming beliefs and managing your emotions so that you can live your life more fully and happily. I use and teach clients strategies for being kinder and more compassionate with themselves. "

"I assume you're here because you're struggling in some way, and that whatever you've been doing in your life to deal with your pain simply isn't working any longer. So you've hit a kind of impasse, and you're unable to work around the pain, manage it, ignore it. My clients usually find me through some kind of loss--a divorce or relationship upset, an illness or other transitional experience--often accompanied by difficult feelings and behaviors. Taken together, the result is a crisis of meaning and a radical disruption of the status quo of their lives."

"In my psychotherapy practice I use supportive and insight-focused approaches, together with techniques derived from cognitive behavioral therapy with the goal of helping people find their own sense of agency. My most fundamental assumption is that people are always trying to overcome the psychological obstacles that interfere with their happiness and that the therapist's job is to help identify those obstacles and suggest better ways to cope with them."

"I am a licensed psychotherapist with masters in both Counseling Psychology (MA) and Clinical Social Work (LCSW-R, NY, and LCSW, CA) with over thirty years of experience. As an individual practitioner, I specialize in depression and anxiety in adults over eighteen years of age. During my career, my clients ranged from drug-involved adolescents to adult schizophrenics. I was also a clinical director of a 150-client workshop for dual-diagnosed schizophrenic and mentally challenged adults. Working twelve years in community service centers, I treated a broad range of psychological disorders and supervised a suicide hot line."

"I am not the type of therapist that sits in a chair and nods silently at everything you say. My approach is warm, direct and healing on multi-levels. Depending on each individual case we can explore talking your story, expanding your breath, expressing ranges of emotion or moving your body. I consider my work and the space I hold as sacred. There are many doorways into the experience of freedom and together we can find the one that fits your Self."

"I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing stress, recovering from trauma, and dealing with transition. I have a warm, collaborative approach wherein you and I work together to assess how you are affected by certain core beliefs, and then begin to think about what's in your best interest. Working from a Control Mastery perspective, I believe that you have a plan to overcome what's difficult for you and my job is to help you actualize it."

"We cannot get through life without difficult times. None of us can. Whether it's a family conflict, career predicament, or personal trauma we are going to experience them. And, yet, how we handle them can make all the difference in our future and the future of those we love. I have been doing psychotherapy for a long time, both with individuals and with couples, and hope I have developed an ability to help manage these life situations. I work with people in both short-term crisis situations and longer-term therapy contexts, from their teens to their nineties."

"For women, men, and couples midlife and long term infertility are life stages that can be filled with grief, confusion, transition and lack of control. My clients come to me saying, “I’m not who I used to be, and I’m not sure who I am now. Don't know how we can move forward.” I am passionate about people in their 40’s and 50’s because I believe that a “third act” is lying just ahead. It’s a stage in life that can be fulfilling, exciting and meaningful. It just doesn't always feel that way."

"I've been in private practice for over 26 years in the San Francisco Bay Area working with individuals ,couples and families seeking support for trauma, life transitions, and development. Whatever stimulus propels an individual to seek support, can be an opportunity for each person to engage more fully in their life. The therapeutic process is an organic one that involves a mutual exploration between myself and clients with the client's needs and purpose informing the process. What may seem an obstacle may be an opening when viewed from a different perspective with another,to make a difference in one's mental health."

"I would like to tell potential clients that my style is interactive, that I am a good listener, and that most people improve if they are committed to changing. I am particularly good at treating grief and trauma. Patients have come in with multiple losses, have seen their loved ones hurt, injured or murdered, or have themselves been raped, or assaulted and have turned their lives around. Many clients cannot get over a loss of a husband, wife, or lover and have been able to move forward. I value a partnership. I value an open heart and emotional expression."

"I've been practicing psychology in Sausalito for over 20 years.
