Anxiety Therapists in Inverness, CA

In practice for 30+ years, I offer heartfelt therapy that is engaged, creative and deep. If you are feeling "stuck" in an old story, caught in repeating thought or behavioral patterns, or have a sense of not being fully present for life, I can help you shift into a fuller sense of yourself that is empowered and positive. My style is sensitive yet direct and "down-to-earth". We all have a creative aspect to our psyche that has the power to make effective changes positive outcomes in our lives. I endeavor to awaken that resource.

I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in California & Maryland . During the pandemic all my sessions are tele/video. My clients may feel overwhelmed by past events or current challenges; be seeking to reduce stress / anxiety in their lives, often manifested by depression, anger or control issues; wish to address trauma experiences; to complete Immigrant Psychological Evaluations ; or seek help coping with the range of challenges and stresses they experience in the United States. People come hoping to resolve obstacles to growth and to experience greater satisfaction.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-criticism, relationship problems, symptoms of complex trauma, or difficulty during life transitions. When these feelings are acute it can feel unbearable and all we want is some relief. I work with people to address uncomfortable symptoms in the present, while also exploring their meaning and source including connections with earlier life experiences. We then look to the future and what is trying to emerge from you. I work well with people who have a desire to know themselves in a deeper way and to feel more connected to soul and life.

Healing, growth and change are possible. By coming here you've taken the first step toward feeling better. Whether you're gripped by anxiety or depression, yearning for more fulfillment in relationships, or hungry for purpose and meaning in life, I am here to support and uplift you. I feel intense gratitude for this work because of the profound changes I witness in my clients. Through guided self inquiry and direct, compassionate feedback you’ll develop your capacities to understand yourself and take action toward building a life in alignment with your values and dreams. I got you, let's do this.

Have your achievements brought you fulfillment, or are you even more unhappy, more anxious, more depressed after achieving so many things in the outer world? Is your happiness dependent on your connection to yourself and the natural world or is it dependent on the story you've created about your achievements and what that says about you? If the uncertainty in the world has left you more anxious, more stressed, more worried, then it is the perfect time to make that inner shift, that inner reset.

I bring deep respect for those who are in the process of exploring change in their lives. Often adaptations to circumstances earlier in life have outlived their usefulness. The process of therapy can create an opportunity to examine patterns that no longer benefit the person and open the door to change. This journey can enable one to achieve their goals for a more satisfying life.

I have been a therapist for over 25 years.  I work with individual, however, I specialize with couples and families. Issues are a part of life, however, they don’t have to run our life. Being proactive rather than reactive is an important aspect in empowering ourselves to look at things that feel so scary.  Our fears can magnify the reality of a situation to where we feel like we are about to climb Mt. Everest rather than going up a hill.
