Adults Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Many of us reach points in our lives when we feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or just generally unhappy. Making the choice to go to therapy can be a difficult decision. However, once that choice is made, it sets the healing journey in motion. With this one decision, you will have the opportunity to explore those places within yourself that need tending in a caring, supportive environment. My practice is guided by the idea we sometimes need support, and by working collaboratively we will find the tools and insight to build a foundation for a more productive and satisfying life.

I have more than 30 years experience working with families, adults and couples. I focus on paying attention to the patient's needs as to what they want to address and accomplish. I offer short and long term treatment as appropriate. I encourage people to practice things we discuss after sessions to maximize gains. Identifying people's strengths and identifying internal and external resources as a major focus. My experience includes psychological testing, chemical dependency treatment and people exploring stages of change and transition from work related stressors, marital problems and relationship challenges.

I enter the therapeutic space with curiosity, compassion, and non-judgment, and without preconceived notions of who you are or what you would like to gain from therapy. I practice cultural humility and open-mindedness, and truly believe that every individual is unique and holds authority over their own identity and story. I welcome ALL people to my practice. My goal is to build a safe space with you that allows me to meet you where you are, and at the same time challenge you to take hold of opportunities for growth when you are ready.

While we are still struggling with covid, we are beginning to get back to normal. You are likely thinking about psychotherapy for yourself. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed.

I work with children, adults and couples addressing their emotional issues from an attachment oriented perspective. I have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy and Somatic Therapy. I respect for Carl Roger's work and also Gestalt Therapy and am a Humanistic therapist. I like working with the child within with my adult clients, helping to heal the emotional wounds from the past. I like mindfully being aware of what is happening in the present moment and connecting with my clients in a caring way. I work somatically focusing on what emotions are present in the body.

I think therapy has a lot to do with the "art of conversation" and how we relate to one another. My goal as your clinician will be to hear you, understand the world you live in and support your efforts to improve your sense of self, life-functioning skills and overall happiness. I use acceptance, empathy and compassion with my clients, emphasizing how their current strengths can support them when facing difficulties and challenges in their lives. I encourage my clients to be the experts in the room and work to support, guide and aid them toward happier and healthier lives.

Welcome and congratulations on starting your venture to self-growth! I recognize that seeking help may not be easy, whether you are just beginning or continuing your therapeutic journey. However, seeking help is a powerful and courageous step to take in your life. We as human beings all experience our share of life stressors and struggles that affect our lives. How we allow these stressors to affect our lives is the most important. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience treating children, adolescents, adults , couples, and families.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and Utah and have been providing therapy services for 5 years. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults . I have been trained and certified in trauma treatment, and my other areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, foster care/adoption, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. If you're struggling to move forward in your life, I can help you with the healing process. I offer both Christian-based and secular therapy.

Many of us are experiencing anxiety or depression as a response to today's global issues. Adjusting to these changes can be challenging! I can help. Some of us have had trauma that deeply changed our life. And sometimes it's hard to ask for help. My goal is to make this process as easy as possible - together we will identify problems that impact your life and together we will create positive, lasting change. I offer a grounding presence to my clients and use an integration of techniques that address the body, mind and spirit. I support all forms of intimate relationships, and believe everyone deserves compassion and respect.

Even the children of dedicated, responsible parents can develop behavioral or emotional problems as they move through childhood and adolescence. Sometimes the acting out or other worrisome behaviors occur only at home. Other times, the difficulties erupt at school. Or both. Perhaps what you or the school has tried isn't working. You may be blaming yourself even though it is not your fault. At these times, an experienced child therapist can help you and your family get back on track.

I work with people from all walks of life, experiencing a wide variety of mental, emotional and relationship difficulties. I work with children, parents of children, adolescents, adults and older adults . Adult psychotherapy clients who work best with me are usually looking for lasting solutions to emotional problems rather than advice, "tools" or quick fixes and they can tolerate a listening approach designed to deepen discussion. They understand that the unacknowledged thoughts and feelings that create havoc can emerge in therapy, and they are looking for a professional to help them understand and work through difficult moments.

MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL. I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Life can be extremely challenging and at times you might feel completely at a loss as to what to do and how to improve your relationships with others and quality of life. I would love to help you develop deeper connections, improve your quality in life, and learn skills to help you deal effectively with the hard times. My passion is to see families and individuals engage in more satisfying relationships with each other and find happiness and enjoyment in your life.

Today, I encourage you to consider an alternative future. One where you are at peace with yourself. Where the light and dark within you are both accepted unconditionally and you remember who you were before the beliefs that currently limit you were formed. I strive to help others separate themselves from their problems, including significant symptoms and behaviors. You HAVE a problem. YOU are not a Problem. For the last 15 years I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families. Ready to dive deep and make a change? Let's talk!

Stress, anxiety and depression are common human responses to difficult life events. Current research supports that therapy can help individuals better understand and move through these experiences. In my view there is great potential for healing at any stage in life. I acknowledge that a desire for depth and wholeness is universal - as is the need for meaning. I work mostly with adults , seniors, and family members experiencing adjustment to life changes; including work issues, adult children's struggles, retirement, and loss and grief.

Are you often feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Are you struggling with relationship issues, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, or stress? Have you realized you are relying on food to change how you're feeling? If so, food has become your crutch and it's no different than using alcohol, drugs, or video gaming to numb, distract, and avoid dealing with the real issue. And just like any other crutch, addiction or distraction, food will not solve the underlying problem. I am here to help you uncover the underlying issue, heal the hurt, restore balanced eating and create a sense of well-being.
