Therapists in Mill Valley, CA

I work with people during times of transition. You may be needing to process a loss, learn to draw boundaries, have the courage to use your voice, change jobs, or explore what is the next chapter for you. Let's explore how your stories, beliefs and relational patterns might be holding you back.

Everyone wants to feel that they are good enough. The reality though, is that most of us struggle to feel that we are acceptable and lovable just as we are. If you resonate with this, you're not alone. These beliefs tend to operate in the background of your mind, subconsciously influencing your self-esteem, limiting the way you show up in relationships, work and leisure, and creating painful cycles of depression and anxiety. Therapy with me is a safe space to challenge patterns, expand limiting beliefs, heal your inner child, and develop a wise, confident, and secure authentic self to guide you through the ups and downs of life.

Are you struggling and longing for a change? Perhaps you put a great deal of effort into your relationships and work, but it seems that no one extends that same care and attention to you. Although you crave connection and meaning, you might feel weighed down by loneliness, hopelessness, and a pervading sense of disempowerment. You may feel that no one sees or values who you really are. In fact, you may be your own harshest critic, unsure of your purpose and certain you are falling short of your potential. Like so many others, you might be searching for the tools needed to live with greater confidence, satisfaction, and ease.

Life can present us with challenges we're not prepared for. Underlying issues can make it difficult to cope resulting in difficult moods -- anger or irritability, overwhelm, depression or anxiety, sadness, grief. Other reasons for therapy include relationship troubles (e.g., romantic, family, friends), unresolved trauma, demanding life transitions, stubborn self-defeating patterns, and low self-esteem undermining your life. Psychotherapy can help you move proactively through these challenges with better outcomes and more confidence.

Struggling with relationships? Experiencing the many ways substance use can create pain, whether for you or someone you love? Are you living with a mental health condition that requires support? Identifying limiting beliefs and unhelpful behaviors is an essential step to living an emotionally stable life, whatever difficult crossroads you may be experiencing. Often, emotional recovery begins with healing long-buried childhood trauma. My goal in therapy with you is to be your guide on this healing journey. You don't have to do it alone. And I believe relief can sometimes happen as early as the first session. Licensed in CA and FL.

Hello! If you're looking for online therapy for anxiety, EMDR and / or IFS and you're in California, Minnesota, Colorado or an international location, you're in the right place. Anxiety often comes from inside, from thoughts, feelings or sensations that say, "I'm not good enough." Or "I'm not safe." Or from something that happened to you. We'll be real and go deep. Let's get at the roots of that anxiety and set you free. If you think "1st world problems," it's ok. We all deserve healing. Expat 3 times. Aware of cultural & generational differences. I work to be anti-racist, LGBTQIA2S+ ally / accomplice. Open minded. Sex positive.

You have solid skills and tools to manage symptoms and minimize the impact your mood cycles and anxiety have on work and relationships. You are no longer defined by what has happened to you but look forward to what is ahead of you. Your values, choices, and actions are in harmony. Most importantly, when you encounter obstacles or new challenges, you will be certain of how to overcome them with confidence and clarity.

If previous attempts at stopping substance use have failed or if you want to learn to manage your use rather than abstain, call us for a free phone consultation. We approach addiction as a biopsychosocial phenomenon and can help you understand the biological, emotional, and behavioral factors of your drug use using evidence-based interventions. Our therapeutic style is compassionate and non-judgmental but we will also be direct and challenge you to deeply examine your choices. We strive to create a safe, confidential environment where you feel comfortable exploring your choices.
