In Person Therapists in Napa, CA
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked in the field of community mental health for 20 years. In that time, and through my work with a variety of individuals and families, I have come to believe that therapy is most effective when it is engaging, collaborative and client centered.

An ideal client is looking for a therapist who will provide direction. If you'd like a clinician with a poker face who sits and says "mmhmm", I am not your gal. My sessions are very interactive, and I tend to attract clients who are looking for honest but loving and tender support (and an acceptance of my complete potty mouth).
I see folx as they go through life transitions like fertility, loss, coming out, or other changes, who are working to find their "new normal" after major life events. I am especially passionate about working with young adults especially around gender and sexuality, hopefully providing affirming care.

I primarily utilize phone and zoom sessions and consulting, but will work with clients in person as needed as well.
My therapeutic approach is geared to address your specific needs based on your strengths, goals, and current concerns, including cultural, family, mental health history, and relevant diagnostic issues. I utilize an empowerment and strength-based approach to help you access your best inner self through: identifying and accomplishing your life goals; achieving a calmer state of mind; improving problem solving and creative potential, no matter how difficult your circumstances. I have extensive training in multiple therapeutic methods including cognitive-behavioral, strength-based, positive psychology, psychodynamic, family system, and Jungian approaches. For further information, I prefer to be contacted by phone.

I prefer working with clients in-person (Napa office) but I also use video sessions for clients in all of California.
For many individuals (or couples) it is difficult enough just committing to contact a therapist...but then, who is a good fit? Many of my clients indicate they appreciate my more 'active-therapist' approach. Jointly we discuss various solutions with honest feedback, as well as support. My work with couples specializes on those experiencing communication challenges, rebuilding trust, or substance related issues, and even finding that intimacy again. My decade as a Supervising Family Mediator for the Superior Courts has given me valuable experience in dealing with ending coupleships and co-parenting strategies.

Our work won’t be endless sessions of venting. Together, we’ll take a thoughtful, incisive approach to identifying what’s getting in your way. Through deep exploration of your personality, relationships, and inner conflicts, we’ll uncover practical and sustainable ways to move forward.

Providing in-person in Napa, CA and online throughout California.
You long for that joy and peace that surpasses all understanding. But when you’re plagued by anxiety, shame, and stress, God’s abundance feels out of reach. Instead, you walk around feeling lost and alone, overwhelmed by life’s pressures. Add to that constant worry about your friends, your family, and the state of the world, and it’s very easy to see how you could have a crisis of faith. Then, all you see are your flaws, making it impossible to trust in your unique gifts and talents. So, you put on a mask, pretending to have it all together when all you really want is to live authentically.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
