Beacon Health Options Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

I work with many older adults who are challenged by their life's circumstances, whether it be social isolation, financial worries or health problems or other age related concerns. I believe having emotional support during this time, is very important to help us age as best we can. I enjoy working with women of all ages, ethnicities, and sexual orientations as I feel being a women is wonderful but not without some unique challenges. I truly enjoy the energy and power of women and feel honored to be a part of their growing journey. I feel the same about my work with those who have a chronic illness or chronic pain.

We all have times where we could use some extra support. I offer a warm, engaged presence to help foster healing and growth. I believe we all have the capacity to heal but that we sometimes need a partner or guide to help us look deeply at the parts of our lives that need attention. I feel honored to be able to provide compassionate psychotherapy to individuals wanting to gain insight into old patterns, heal from past trauma and make needed changes in their lives.

The world is a wild and wondrous place to exist. There is so much to be curious about as we follow our respective paths. However, sometimes the path can become obscured causing us to feel lost, confused, even scared or defeated. Amidst the constant buzz of living, we need a place of stillness, of safety, to see ourselves clearly again. I am here to provide you a safe, judgement-free holding space to explore your own path and rediscover yourself in it. In our work together, we will focus on using the strength of human connection as a bridge to our own healing.

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. And your relationships, health or even finances may have been affected. Whether your problems are new, or are deeply rooted, even perhaps in trauma, therapy can help. In therapy you can build on your own wisdom to heal a difficult past and deep wounds. Difficult life experiences can hlep us develop greater insight and strength. I am here to help you create your own goals and work towards a better life.

Welcome. My participation in helping families in crisis has provided me with a deep understanding of systems, culture, patterns, trauma, substance abuse, and relational dynamics. I'm fully bilingual (Spanish) and bicultural and have worked with people from diverse backgrounds.

You deserve a compassionate therapist. Someone with whom you feel safe, secure and connected.

My goal is to support you and guide you to live from your heart and authenticity.

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 offer compassionate, down-to-earth support with a style that is interactive and personable.
