"Hi ? In 14 years of private practice and more than 30 years providing mental health care at treatment centers, I've had a chance to gain an understanding of the many ways people can be hurting in life. My areas of focus include relationship counseling, marital separation, depression, anxiety, stress, tension, recovering from trauma and past hurts, and improving poor self-esteem. In addition, I work with younger clients to handle the issues of childhood and adolescence and deal with special needs."

"Are you and your partner wanting help with communication? Are you feeling emotionally distant? Are you exasperated by the problems with your relationship? No sex? Has there been an affair or betrayal? Addictions hurting your relationship? I can help! Many therapists take a neutral stance towards saving the marriage because that is how they were trained. I am up front and transparent that if you both want the marriage to be saved, that's exactly what we will work toward. I am listed on a unique website as a "Marriage-Friendly" couples therapist. Learn more at www.couplescounselingworks.com."

"Are you grieving the chronic illness or death of someone you love? Do you fear that you will not ever again find meaning and purpose in your life? Would you like help in accessing attachment to your loved one? With grief counseling and support, it is possible to find a way to cope with the death of your child, sibling, or spouse. The scope of my education, extensive training, clinical and personal experience informs my ability to effectively help individuals, couples, and groups regain lost hope following a life-shattering tragedy."

"I am a licensed psychologist whose professional mission is to provide evidence-based treatments to children, adolescents, young adults, and families of diverse cultures and backgrounds. I conceptualize cases taking into account genetic and biological factors, personality and mood factors, and social factors related to culture and family. I formulate treatment plans using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as my core orientation. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and goal-oriented, with the aim of helping individuals and families learn strategies to lead a meaningful and enriching life."

"If your child is bright and fun-loving but also maybe a tad too sensitive, spirited or anxious and you're looking for support, good news! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at the Mindful Resource Center (MRC) specialized in improving the lives of kids (as young as 2 years old) and their parents. At the centre we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an Attachment-based Mindfulness-oriented and Developmentally-supportive Approach, as well as, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which simply means... IT WORKS!"

"Life can be incredibly hard, and there is no "manual" for how to navigate life's overwhelming situations and complex emotional experiences. During these tough times, it's common to feel "stuck" and desperately wanting solutions, while struggling to identify them on your own. At this juncture, the objectivity, support, and insight of a licensed clinical psychologist can help you to move through this time in your life. I have witnessed this process, personally, and helped many clients persevere through intense periods of conflict and pain."

"Need help with ongoing symptoms following a recent or remote traumatic event or childhood trauma? These experiences can cause a chronic dys-regulation of the nervous system. If you are not responding to talk therapy or medications, this approach may be the key to bringing you relief. I offer treatment for Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD), anxiety, panic and related conditions. I use a mindfulness-based somatic approach that addresses the body sensations, images, thoughts, emotions and beliefs that form in the wake of a trauma."

"I provide short- or long-term psychotherapy . My approach is steeped in a mindful and caring relation to oneself and to others. I help my clients find the courage necessary to face and value what has not yet been acknowledged in their life, and to find the potential strengths that have not yet been harnessed. Bilingual: English and French"

"My approach is collaborative in nature with the overarching goal of supporting and empowering clients in their efforts to live more productive and satisfying lives. Services address a wide range of personal and interpersonal issues and promote the development of more rewarding, sustaining, and harmonious relationships, familial and otherwise. I have extensive experience working with families confronting divorce, trauma, mental illness, teen substance use, school-related challenges, and communication and relationship difficulties. I have developed considerable expertise in the delivery of therapeutic support services to pre-adolescents, adolescents, and young adults struggling with social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties across multiple settings."

"You are not alone. I enjoy working with postpartum and pregnant woman and couples. The transition to parenthood is often a time of excitement but also a time of great change and disruption. Thinking together about the impact the arrival of a baby will have/has had on your relationship and lifestyle can alleviate many stressors and fears. I believe therapy can help you to gain new insights and a new perspective on how to connect with others, effectively cope with stress and pursue the life you desire."

"You spend all of your time and energy taking care of your family when your not working. You tell yourself "I can't do this", "What was I thinking?" or "I'm selfish". You end up being too accommodating of others, a people-pleaser. But it gets you in trouble when you're trying to do things for yourself to help you move forward. You're afraid that if you put your foot down, that people won't like you. I became a therapist because I like helping people thrive. I like giving people an opportunity to live a different way."

"Whether its families, couples or individuals, I bring my enthusiasm and warmth to each person I work with. In therapy with me you won't be bombarded by psycho-babble or heady interpretations. What you will get is my full attention, real talk and an emphasis on being in the moment. Together we will slow down, get grounded and deeply consider what you want for yourself and look at what is getting in the way. I am passionate about helping you see your strengths and fortifying areas that need reinforcement. I also offer support to parents struggling with family life."

"Maybe you are tired of feeling stuck, questioning how you are living, hearing a voice of dissatisfaction with your life or your relationships, those with others and the important one with yourself. My work is to reinforce and amplify the strengths that you possess as well as introduce you to new strategies with which you may be unfamiliar in order to support you to move forward into the life you want, leaving behind what no longer serves you."

"I work with individuals, couples, and parents. If you're going through difficult times, feeling disconnected, or experiencing the stress of a life transition, I work to help you to feel and deal with the changes in a way that is safe, affirming and hopeful. My style is warm, down to earth, relational and highly interactive. My approach is collaborative, inclusive and tailored to meet your own specific needs.Tapping into your own wired-in resilience and strengths, we work together to create the movement and changes you'd like to see in your life."

"I love my work! For forty years I've been astonished, and feel like a "therapeutic mid-wife," collaborating and witnessing people give birth to new ways of growing to become more of who they really are, with less pain and more happiness. Although I work with any issue, I am particularly effective with the most difficult therapy to do well, Couples Therapy. Over the years, I have trained therapists at UCSF and various Doctoral programs, and half of my practice includes therapy with therapists themselves. I enjoy integrating with 12 Step Recovery when appropriate."

"Life can be challenging for all of us. Careers, families, relationships, our health; all can provide joy but can also be sources of great stress and difficulty. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I will work with you to overcome the obstacles that prevent you from living the life you seek. These may include low self esteem, anxiety, lack of satisfaction in your professional life or marriage, depression, to name just a few. The relationship you and I forge will help guide you to improve your life, whether your needs be interpersonal, career related, parenting, or unresolved issues from the past."

"My approach is relational, warm, and collaborative. I feel passionate about helping you make the changes in your life you'd like help with, such as: better relationships/marriage, improving mood, more effective parenting, increasing self-esteem, navigating divorce, feeling less stuck, help with addictions, navigating adolescent issues, and more. I began providing therapy to clients on the east coast in 1994 as a licensed LGSW. Years later I became licensed in California and continue to successfully help clients experience positive change. My practice is in Corte Madera with easy access to SF and surrounding areas of Marin."

"Parents of adolescents are often concerned that their teen's worries and behaviors are keeping them from reaching their full potential. My clients come to me for my speciality in helping teens and "tweens" with anxiety, depression, or self-limiting behaviors get better quickly so they can get back to thriving."

"Ready for change and a more satisfying and balanced life? I offer compassionate listening, practical guidance and an action oriented approach to assist you in making the changes you want in your life."
