Therapists in Saint Helena, CA

I am committed to taking a collaborative approach to help clients reach their personal goals. I want to help you put your experience into the words that reflect what you have been unable to name all these years. I want to be the counselor who can validate and acknowledge your story the way you have lived it.

You’ve been putting everything into your job and relationships since you can remember and you are TIRED. Tired of saying yes when you already have too much on your plate, tired of the exhausting task of managing other people’s lives, and just plain tired of not having enough room for YOU in your life. It’s been so long since you prioritized your own needs that you aren’t even sure what having time for yourself would look like or how to get it. Part of you is terrified that people won't like you if you start saying no to their requests and part of you even feels guilty delegating some of these tasks.

Many people come to see me because they are experiencing distress in some area of their life. It may be a specific issue like divorce, depression, anxiety or grief. They may desire more intimacy with their partner and find themselves getting "triggered" or defensive instead. When working with individuals and couples regarding their relationships, I offer effective and proven skills that achieve positive results quickly. I have a gentle approach with the ability to be direct when needed..

Welcome. If you are feeling lost, struggling, overwhelmed or currently facing a painfully difficult time, I can help. Experiencing emotional pain and struggling with life issues are part of the process of living. Yet, when we find ourselves stuck in patterns, situations, or relationships that continue to be painful, we ask “Why can’t things be better?” or “What is wrong with me?” and eventually “Can I ever feel happy?” Often these are the issues that propel us to seek therapy. Emotional pain can show up as anger, fear, grief, confusion, anxiety, exhaustion, procrastination, etc. I believe, for change to occur, safety, empathy and respect are essential. I have come to experience an increasing sense of sacredness about our work together. It often takes courage to walk through the therapist’s door for the first time. As healing begins, I am reminded of the resiliency and courage of the human spirit.

If you are ready for change in your life therapy is a great catalyst!

I have over 40 years of experience (and training) in Disordered Eating. Although it is my specialty, I love working with the general population as well. I understand addiction, compulsion and obsession very well and can help you understand their function in your life and help you build the skills necessary to put them out of a job. I believe everything we do, we do in an effort to take care of ourselves even though the things we choose to do may harm us. I help you to find more direct, satisfying ways to meet your real needs.

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have been working as a therapist for 13 years. In my work, I am fortunate to have worked with both children and adults struggling in childhood abuse, traumatic experiences, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

I am currently accepting both couples and individuals at my practice. My work is non-judgmental, client focused, sex positive, open to those practicing ethical non-monogamy and polyamory, kink-positive, and welcomes humans of all shapes, sizes, colors, and backgrounds.

I've been in private practice in San Francisco, Los Angeles and now Marin and have a lot of experience working with people from many different backgrounds, on numerous areas of injury and subsequent growth.

Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? Had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry, but not really sure why? Thoughts and worries that keep you up at night? You are not alone, many of us struggle with depression and anxiety in our everyday lives. These struggles might cause us to not perform our best at work, keep us from concentrating in school and cause us to say things that we don’t mean to the ones that we love. I can help you identify what you want to improve in your life and create a safe space for you to be able to overcome the barriers preventing you from succeeding.

My specialties are in the treatment of trauma and addiction. In addition to my formal education, I have extensive training and experience focused on state-of-the-art, proven practices.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Maybe you’re struggling with relationship challenges, past traumas or work stress? Is shame, anxiety, anger or numbness affecting your ability to be happy? Maybe you’re wondering how your substance use, or that of a loved one, is related to any of this? I’d like to offer you a non-judgmental space to explore behaviors, beliefs and feelings that keep you from living the life you want to live. You are not broken and I would be honored to help you reconnect to the innate wisdom and power of your authentic self. My style is real, warm and respectful of your choices, whatever they may be.
