Therapists in Lagunitas, CA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, assistant professor, and scientist. In my private practice, I see teens, adults, couples, and families. I take a holistic, trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive, and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy. I also provide life coaching and executive consultation. After learning about your history, stressors, and sociocultural background, I will work closely with you to meet your goals, however big or small they may seem.

I have provided mental health services for 15 years helping clients with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, chronic illness, postpartum, and life/career transitions in diverse populations of adults. Given my experience, I have developed a therapeutic approach that is based on the needs of clients. I combine evidenced-based interventions with cognitive, and psychodynamic therapies. I provide a supportive environment where clients openly and safely express their experiences, emotions and thoughts with acceptance and non-judgment.

I believe in evidence-based therapies and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I strive to help my clients process their emotions and feelings to reach a place where they can work through their struggles in a healthy, productive way. I understand that therapy can be a new experience for some people, and would love to help to find ease in your everyday stressors with the use of my knowledge, care, and passion for this work. I am well versed in co-occurring disorders and realize that there is usually more than one issue present in a person's life causing them to experience stressors.

At times, life can be incredibly challenging and painful for all of us. I specialize in supporting folks figure out the root of their difficulty and find the clarity and strength to move beyond their hardship. Whether you're feeling lost in how to address your issues or feel weighed down by trauma, I am here to sit with you and help you no longer be defined by these difficulties.

Inviting a therapist into your inner world takes courage and I'm so glad you're here! Whether this is your first time thinking about therapy or not, the process may seem intimidating. My goal is to establish a safe space for you and to build a trusting relationship between us. In doing so, we lay the groundwork needed to explore daily stressors and deeply rooted past traumas and experiences. I am committed to a client-centered, solution-focused approach that’s grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Have you ever asked yourself if a positive change can happen when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel? I will say, “Yes, it can!” I am a psychotherapist specializing in treatment for depressive disorders, PTSD, anxiety, impulse control, grief, trauma, and substance use disorders in adolescents and adults. My practice focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs that affect activities of daily functioning. I meet my clients where they are and help them learn how to cope effectively with life stressors to building healthier relationships with themselves and their loved ones.

Hi there, I'm Ann! I love working with adults, families and some younger people.

I am trained in many techniques and modalities including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Have you ever wondered why after years of talk therapy your trauma resurfaces? Feeling like the only thing that helps you survive is avoiding and dissociating? Are you struggling to advocate and set boundaries for yourself? Or feeling so depressed/anxious that you can’t reach for hope to feel happiness and peace? Our behaviors are a result of our experiences. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. So let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. Therapy isn’t meant to be hard, it is meant to provide you with a safe, judgment free space to process your story.

At Sana, we understand what it's like to go through pain, trauma, or depression. Isolation, impulsivity, or hopelessness become the only friends you know. You might have feelings of emptiness or conflict that make little sense. Trauma has been the backdrop of your life for as long as you can remember, and you're tired. Your goal is to recover, to find contentment, or just move through the world with a bit more ease. You have personal dreams and desires and would love to one day reach them.

Specializing in Anxiety. Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Maybe you are feeling sad, stressed, or stuck. Are you having issues in your relationships? Do you wish to break cycles of behaviors and situations? I am here for you. My approach is integrative and specific to each client. I strive to help guide clients towards self-awareness, insight, and better relationships with themselves and others. I balance listening with practical and structured interventions to help clients both inside and outside of session.

To support my clients during this time of uncertainty, I am offering Tele-Therapy option for those who are distancing or quarantined. I am a California licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, life coach, corporate coach, and college professor. I have helped clients who have presented with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, relationship problems, divorce, parenting issues. I tailor the treatment to your specific needs and goals, combining insight-oriented, solution-focused, and multicultural perspectives.

Life is filled with decisions, unexpected turns neither predicted nor guaranteed, and experiences that shape our individual stories. Therapy can be a window into these narratives, allowing exploration into past and present. It can forge a future lived with more intention, fulfillment and balance. I utilize an approach to psychotherapy that aims to present a fuller picture of who we are, individualizing my practice based on my clients and their needs. A safe, supportive environment can make space for clarity and growth as you navigate life transitions, both big and small, chosen or uncertain.

In my work with clients, I value understanding each person's individual experience and I strive to create a supportive environment with a warm, reflective and engaging approach. I believe we all have the potential to lead fulfilling lives. To reach this potential, I help clients reflect on themselves and their experiences, identify and understand patterns, and initiate change. I am influenced by psychodynamic perspectives and attachment theory.

Everyone has challenges and battles to fight. A pain-free life is not always possible. Even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s difficulties. Whether you struggle with depression, grief, anxiety, or other issues, you should know there is hope for better tomorrows.

I believe we’re all doing the best we can with the tools and experiences life has given us. I help clients find relief from anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties (couples/relational work), traumas (emotional and/or physical) and low self-esteem. Providing a therapy experience that is free of judgment or shame and having client's feel heard and understood is my priority - this is especially important in my work with couples.
