Men's Issues Therapists in Novato, CA
Are you having problems in a meaningful relationship? Do your problem-solving talks increase blame without creating agreements? Are you avoiding discussing something important, knowing it won't end well? Do parenting decisions create conflict and anger? Is tension with your partner wearing you down? It's normal to have disagreements in important relationships. However, certain issues that we experience can weaken our trust and leave us feeling isolated. With support and guidance, individually or with your partner, you can improve communication, increase your connection, heal wounds, increase trust, and develop a stronger foundation

I seek to provide a thoughtful and reflective setting where clients develop greater understanding of their problems and limitations through honest exploration of themselves, and to bolster strengths/foster growth. I provide a friendly and open atmosphere to invite sharing of whatever thought or feeling that comes up so that they can be explored, analyzed and ultimately changed if you want. I work in a collaborative way and do not necessarily see my role as an advice giver, but as a thoughtful companion in helping you find your own solutions and understanding. I use a flexible blend of clinical techniques and theories.

As humans, we are interested in living meaningful and connected lives. And sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed, defeated, and confused about how to move forward. Our strategies may no longer be working for us or we face challenges we aren't sure how to navigate. Therapy can help us understand the ways we experience thoughts and emotions, develop effective ways of interacting with the world around us, and approach life more consistently with what we value. Having someone join us on our journey of growth and development can be a powerful experience particularly when they are trained to understand how people grow and change.

"Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination...." In Wild Geese, Mary Oliver does not promise salvation, but points to the okay-ness of your being, to the importance of your inner world. How do you, in your imagination, relate to the world? You can find peace inside yourself. I believe therapy is about wholeness-it's not about rejecting who you already are, but about including all aspects of yourself. With compassion and honesty, let's explore the full you so that you may find your inner peace.

I have a warm, collaborative, relational and empowering style. At times we look at what holds you back, and at times we look at the evolving being who is struggling to emerge. Both polarities have something to offer when properly accessed and integrated. Since wounding frequently happens in relationship, healing may best be facilitated in relationship with someone who is accepting all of who you are. Trauma requires a safe and inviting space to move into, and needs delicate handling. I help couples find a way to communicate that makes it safer for both to come forward vulnerably.

My therapeutic approach is warm, respectful, active, engaged, compassionate and focused. My clinical framework is guided by convictions that individuals possess intrinsic drives toward health, happiness and love. When this inner wisdom becomes obscured by life's struggles, or when a child's development sways off course, I provide a space to reflect, regain perspective, and help individuals make adaptive choices and coping strategies that lend to greater fulfillment in play, school, work and relationships.
