Out of Network Therapists in Corte Madera, CA

Despite huge advances in modern technologies to extend life expectancy and increase physical comfort we have made only modest progress in relieving human psychological suffering that manifests as mood disorders and anxiety. It appears that many of our attempts to "fix" ourselves frequently backfire. My approach is highly collaborative and uses the most up to date discoveries in the field of behavioral science to help you "have a mind without your mind having you". Together we can help you gain flexibility that reduces suffering and learn skills that increase values-based living.

Making the time for yourself to feel happier, to alleviate stress or anxiety, to find meaning in your life or to improve your relationships; these are some of the reasons why people decide to enter therapy. Therapy is an investment into yourself to find how to get the most out of your life, to feel happier, more connected and fulfilled. I have worked in a variety of settings over 15 years in this field. I enjoy working with individuals and families to help you achieve your goals.

I work with people who want to feel happy, safe, and be able to connect with others. If you are feeling down, lonely or lost I can help. My goal is to create a safe place where you can express yourself without judgment, explore what is troubling you, and develop strategies to facilitate the change you desire. Together we will figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it.

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.

As a Relationship Therapist I help Individuals, couples, and families overcome tough issues and discover deeper more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in Infidelity Recovery. Discovering that you have been cheated on and lied to is a painful and traumatic experience that can cause many feelings such as despair, anger, sadness, rage, fear and loss. If you were unfaithful, realizing the depth of the pain caused, and the guilt associated with it is often unbearable. However, there is hope; getting over the betrayal, takes a skilled experienced therapist. I call back 7 days a week for urgent matters; I understand the need for help.

Hello! As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. My specialties include the treatment of eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflict, professional/academic dilemmas and stress around life transitions.

Do you have a child or “tween” that is highly sensitive, bright, and a bit overwhelmed? Do they have trouble identifying and managing strong feelings? Could they use help developing positive coping strategies? Are they struggling to communicate with peers, parents, or siblings? In my private practice office, I specialize in helping children understand the benefits of their sensitivity and how to manage its inherent challenges. And I can help you… help them.

You spend countless hours searching "how to deal with temper tantrums", "how to make a toddler sleep" or "what's the right potty training age". Yet the advice that seems to work for everyone just isn't working for you and your child. It could be time for some individualized help. When a child is missing developmental milestones in sleep, toileting and managing emotions, the entire family is impacted. You want to help your child to move forward in their development and you want to feel less helpless and frustrated.

If you are hoping to make a change, I can help you. By shifting perspectives, we can collaboratively help break patterns that impair relationships, health and work. Therapy can be safe and effective; I will help you reach your goals and increase emotional resilience.

Congratulations on your decision to consider psychotherapy for yourself or your family... I have been in private practice since 1987 and I specialize in working with boys, teens, men, women and couples. I believe therapy is about adjusting and adapting to change. Change is a challenge, but also an opportunity for growth. We often think change is an unwelcome intrusion into our lives, but you have already made the most important first step--reaching out to a professional who can assist you in this process.

You may be seeking therapy because you want change in your life or perhaps you are dealing with a difficult situation. You will have my full focus and I will work to understand you and to learn what you need at this time. Research shows that therapy is much more effective if client and therapist have a strong connection. To facilitate this, I offer a complimentary 30 minute consultation so we can ensure working together feels right. I offer client-focused counseling for individuals, couples, teens and elders. I seek to understand you as a whole person and in relationship.

Are you feeling misunderstood in your relationships? Are you feeling anxious, irritated or depressed? Tired of having to explain yourself?

I've been through many transitions, both planned and unplanned, throughout my life and have great compassion and skill in helping others come through them, too.
