Female Therapists in San Rafael, CA

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."- Dr. Carl Jung. I am a clinical psychologist who has been in practice for 17 years working with men and women who have diverse backgrounds and experiences. My therapeutic style is warm, supportive and encouraging. I believe growth occurs when we learn to understand why we are struggling. Yet struggling alone can lead to feeling overwhelmed, lost, and stuck. Turning to someone for support and guidance often leads to self-awareness, clarity, direction and empowerment.

Feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself? Need relief from anxiety or a deep sense of aloneness? Having difficulties in relationships with those you love? Or have you had a traumatic event you know is impacting you but you don’t know what to do to move past it? I am here to help you get in touch with a deeper sense of self. To find peace and confidence. To hear your own voice. To move forward.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience helping women , men, and adolescents struggling with disordered eating and body image issues. I work both remotely and in-person, offering individual, group, and family therapy. Learn how to: *Deal with food addictions *Identify and respond to your body's natural hunger and satiety signals *Set healthy boundaries *Express emotions, rather than binge, purge or restrict food. We address issues that fuel your disordered eating, help you understand the function of food and weight in your life, and develop healthy ways to deal with life's challenges.

Transitions are hard. Changes in your life and routine can be huge emotional burdens to bear. We know firsthand the need for specialized mental health counseling when navigating life's new chapters. Allow us the opportunity to guide you towards newfound peace through effective communication, healthy boundaries & renewed personal goals.

My primary focus of treatment is to establish and maintain a genuine and collaborative relationship. I have worked extensively as a therapist for women and adolescent girls dealing with a broad range of issues, including personal growth struggles, relationship discord, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, and undiagnosed/atypical ADHD. I view my task as collaborating with you to set goals, and keeping the therapy on track toward meeting these goals.

Many of us have forgotten what ease, calm, and balance feel like. As women , we have been shouldering heavy loads, and many of us have been feeling stretched far beyond our capacity. We may find ourselves feeling unwell in body, mind, or spirit. We know the advice about reaching out for support, but that can be difficult. The last thing many of us need is another Zoom call or the complexity of indoor meetings. We want to reclaim more of our resilience, energy, and vitality. And above all, we want to feel a greater sense of inner freedom, regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in. But is that even possible right now? Yes.

Do you long for safe, intimate connections? Let me be your coach and guide. Your healing journey can begin today. I help women and couples clear hurts from the past that interfere with building safe, loving relationships. Through relationship counseling, EMDR, and IFS/Parts work therapy, I help both women and couples to heal from early relational trauma and painful intimacy experiences, and teach them how to develop loving and satisfying relationships today.

If you are suffering with food & body image issues, issues of self-esteem & self-worth, relationship issues or dealing with trauma, I can help you. There are so many women who feel as though they are not enough. They believe that they somehow have to be better, look different, lose weight, be a whole different person to have a good relationship and a happy life. They beat themselves up constantly and are always trying to change. Do you understand this feeling? If so, I can help you have a loving relationship with yourself and settle into who you really are.

At East Bay Center for Anxiety Relief, we work with adults, children, teens, couples, and families. We also facilitate periodic groups focused on communication skills, social skills, anxiety, depression, and working women . We strive for mindful, efficient, and effective therapy. Our clinicians are trained in research-based models such as TEAM-CBT and Gottman couples/family models. We work a bit differently than more traditional practices. We don’t cram an hour of therapy into 50 minutes. Instead, we provide full 60-, 75-, or 90-minute sessions.

Hello! I have a warm, active and authentic style. I am not the stereo typical therapist who sits back and nods. I'm engaged and curious about you and your process, and I'm constantly learning about new approaches to healing and therapy. I am originally from Belgium and have been living in the states for 20 years now. My ultimate goal is to inspire, guide and empower you to live more JOY-FUL lives. I have a strong interest in working with women on the foundation of their SELF ESTEEM and how this impacts their relationships and decisions.

Helping women through life transitions is my passion. As women , we are the helpers, the nurturers, the givers and the teachers. But let's be honest, sometimes we find ourselves facing challenges that feel overwhelming and we feel alone, anxious and depressed. I want to assure you that you are not alone and that it is okay to ask for help.

For women , men, and couples midlife and long term infertility are life stages that can be filled with grief, confusion, transition and lack of control. My clients come to me saying, “I’m not who I used to be, and I’m not sure who I am now. Don't know how we can move forward.” I am passionate about people in their 40’s and 50’s because I believe that a “third act” is lying just ahead. It’s a stage in life that can be fulfilling, exciting and meaningful. It just doesn't always feel that way.

I find that my clients are passionate, sensitive, often highly creative people searching for a place where their full self can be witnessed, celebrated, mourned, or whatever the day calls for. They may struggle with grief, sleep, anxiety, and/or motivation, and often come from families with a legacy of unprocessed trauma, which can take many forms. Ultimately, my clients are looking for a place to try out new ways of being in the world, ways that better support their deepest values and most important goals.

My personal style is warm, welcoming and non-judgmental. My work is values and mindfulness-based, somatically informed and grounded in the neurobiology of trauma. I practice Sensorimotor and cognitive psychotherapy in my work with young and older adults, and couples. I have extensive experience as a trauma therapist, both the small "t" traumas, as well as the big "T" traumas that may be life changing. On the second and fourth Tuesday of the month I facilitate a group for women recovering from traumatic experiences.

For the past 15 years as a senior staff psychologist at Kaiser Permanente, I have helped hundreds of people to heal their emotional wounds and recover peace of mind. If you're finding that your daily mood and quality of life are being diminished by mental or physical symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, work stress or relationship challenges, please give yourself the gift of a free phone consultation. My expertise includes health psychology, having pioneered PoZitive Strides - an approach to healing, health and happiness based on the clinical science of positive psychology. I offer individual as well as group therapy and educational programs.

I am versatile in my clinical experience with clients of different ages and cultures. I have particular training in working with individuals struggling with trauma and the many symptoms related to trauma. I also have many years of experience working with those who struggle with addictions. I enjoy providing support groups for adults and teenagers. I have worked in schools, outpatient clinics, and private practice. I also have experience in suicide prevention work with teenagers and young adults.

Choosing to see a therapist is about you wanting to make some changes in yourself or in your life.
