Therapists in Larkspur, CA

I see therapy as a powerful process of discovery and transformation. People begin therapy for many reasons. Maybe you currently feel stuck in negative beliefs, patterns, or behaviors. Or maybe you are looking for meaningful ways to change. Therapy can teach you to be more compassionate towards yourself. I feel that therapy does not need to be a long term process and encourage clients to take an active part in their journey. Mindfullness is at the center of my work and I love to share mindfulness concepts with clients.

I work with adults, couples and families to help them overcome relationship problems or distress caused by excessive anxiety, depression or anger, using practical problem-solving methods. I also work with individuals and couples who are grieving the death of a loved one or recovering from personal trauma.

Many of us are experiencing increased anxiety and depression due to the current pandemic, climate changes and other stressors. Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from yourself and life. Let me help you reconnect and come home to yourself and your inner resources. My work is an integrative, holistic and collaborative exploration of my clients experiences and issues. I have found that profound growth and transformation can occur within a safe and nurturing environment. I work with women who are experiencing depression, grief and loss, anxiety, life transitions and relational issues. I also work with children ages 3 to 12.

Therapy can help you create a life true to who you are. I help people who are seeking well-being, meaning and vitality by attuning to their authentic selves. We address obstacles and steps to move forward. We can find deeper healing and direction by exploring the symbols in your imagination, symptoms, dreams, and images. In the safe, confidential space of therapy, all feelings are welcomed and addressed. It is an important form of regular self-care.

We are moving out of challenging times and it's not a straight line for everyone. Many are rethinking who they are and what's important to them or still soothing elevated worry and fear. I help individuals still healing or having unrelated anxiety, sadness, stress, a desire for authenticity or those wanting to live their best lives but feeling stuck by experiences in the past. I also work with couples who want to strengthen their relationships, improve communication, work through resentment or a particular sticking point. I offer therapy primarily by video or phone and currently offer Thursdays at my office in downtown Larkspur.

By creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to reflect; I help individuals gain insight into their internal experience. By creating space to think together, I work to help clarify challenges that may be getting in the way of a client(s) well-being. I aim to provide my client(s) a new perspective and a deeper understanding of the presenting problem; which will create a greater awareness about the roots of their symptoms. I support each individual to set goals that are specific to their respective needs.

I am passionate about helping couples reconnect to what draws them together, learn from what causes friction or pulls them apart, and more skillfully communicate and support one another through the inevitable ups and downs of life and their relationship. I aim to help couples better understand the cycles they get stuck in and find accountability and agency for their contribution to these patterns. I also support couples in exploring and deepening intimacy in all its forms (emotionally/psychologically, physically/sexually, energetically/spiritually, etc.)

I offer holistic psychotherapy to individuals and couples with a primary focus on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and women's issues. My approach is warm, compassionate, interactive, and engaged. I am particularly interested in helping you become more connected to your sense of purpose and authenticity. Above all, I am curious about your unique needs and collaborate with you to continually address and meet these needs.

I offer a warm, supportive, interactive and non-judgmental atmosphere in which to help you deal with issues that are troubling you. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, job and career concerns, substance abuse, or the problems of life's inevitable twists, turns and stresses, my 30+ years of clinical experience provide a depth of understanding to help you facilitate the changes you want to make. I work with individuals with a wide variety of problems that affect their relationships, functioning and growth.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist trained in psychodynamic, humanistic/existential, and family systems psychotherapy with over 25 years of clinical experience overall. I studied at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and completed my pre-doctoral internship at The Saturday Center For Psychotherapy and my post-doctoral fellowship at Wright Institute Los Angeles. Since graduating in 2015, I have worked in private practice and state hospital and state prison systems. I have experience working with depression and anxiety as well as relationship and career transition issues.

I am a compassionate and caring therapist with 30 years of experience. My first priority in therapy is to lower your distress and give you hope for the future. Together, we uncover the triggers and negative patterns that lead to your unhappiness, and then build a personalized "tool kit" of coping skills, specifically designed around your life challenges. By doing so, you develop a stronger sense of self and compassion for your suffering. With this new understanding, you learn to honor and listen to your authentic self, which is the ultimate key to happiness.

I work with individuals, families and couples addressing issues around relationships, parenting and communication.

I am a relational therapist, meaning that I deeply value the healing aspects of the therapeutic relationship, and work collaboratively with my clients to ensure therapy is meaningful and aligned with treatment goals.

I am a clinical psychologist and a certified clinical hypnotherapist. I offer professional, compassionate therapy for those wishing to address life challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, life transitions and adjustment issues. Often when people become entrenched in repetitive, self-defeating patterns and behaviors, they feel stuck and unable to lead the lives they want and enjoy satisfying relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to understand these obstacles within the context of their history and current life situation and then develop strategies to remove or transform them.

I believe that change can only occur when a person feels safe and supported. I strive to create a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients, where together we can process issues and find solutions.
