Divorce Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

In over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I have found myself more and more engaged and passionate about my work and the possibilities of change,enrichment, healing and transformation that can occur for a person as they meaningfully grapple with the various problems and suffering they find themselves in. For each person the journey of finding their way through will be unique, shaped by their experiences and their own deep sense of what is true for them and about them. I bring to my practice a deep commitment to serve to the best of my ability.

Are you curious about your own moods and patterns? Have you always wanted to understand yourself better? Do you feel that you could feel so much happier if you had new or better coping skills? My approach to psychotherapy is to use my years of experience working with people who are open, eager to learn and who are craving a life that is more fulfilling with less worry, self-disparagement and suffering. I have a practical, down to earth style that will let you feel safe and open to growth and change.

Are you struggling with overwhelming emotions as a result of past or present trauma? Are you having sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, experiencing a heightened level of anxiety? Experiencing any form of trauma can effect the quality of your life in many ways. Unresolved early traumas can impact you into adulthood. Your mental health, physical heath and relationships with those closest to you can be impacted. Together we will work towards healing past and present traumas in order to achieve the quality and balance that you want in your life.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with specialties in Art Therapy and EMDR. I work with older teens and adults who are struggling with living their lives to the fullest. I can help you look at and reprocess traumas that have happened through out your life. I can offer tools to help you live more in the present and strive for the future you want. I believe that everyone can grow with their experiences and learn to thrive in their life. Together we can take this journey of self discovery.

I have been in the field of psychology since 1985. I am licensed as Marriage Family Therapist (1989) and Clinical Psychologist (1992).What guides my work is the belief that everyone, no matter their behavior, is doing the very best they can in that moment. Most often, aberrant behavior is the result of beliefs learned in childhood that are brought forward into adulthood which are no longer appropriate or functional.

Sometimes looking for what you need is harder than you thought. Our Keystone team provides services that meet people in the different stages in their lives and goes along side you through your own self-determined growth process.

Together we will uncover your inner strength, recalibrate your direction, and open doors to a rewarding future. Perhaps you have a child or teen in need of support.

Welcome to my therapy practice. This is where growth and personal healing can really happen. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping individuals learn how to build healthier relationships and achieve their life goals. I believe developing a trusting relationship is essential to create change. I specialize in helping my clients not just get relief from painful emotional struggles—such as anxiety and depression—but also create lasting change in their most significant relationships.

Hello. I invite you to take a look at my website to get more information about the work that I offer. Life is hard. You do not need to navigate it alone! I offer a straight forward, research based approach to dealing with life and relationship struggles. Sometimes we just need a little extra support. Reaching out takes courage! Good for you. :)

Now licensed in California and Oregon. When we allow ourselves to connect with our physical experience it often allows us to move through our emotional experience with more ease. Life is full of big emotions. Using tools like mindfulness and body/mind awareness, I help clients build a library of coping strategies for various challenges to empower them to manage the big feelings that arise. This framework works aids in improve a variety of issues and difficulties, but some of the challenges I work with people most often in are anxiety, depression, life transitions and repatterning behaviors and relational interactions.

Psychotherapy can offer a process to better understand the relationship between our thoughts, feelings (emotions and physiology), and behaviors. I work with people from all walks of life and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, career/identity issues, and adjustment difficulties related to life transitions and illness. Some of my therapeutic goals include helping clients manage symptoms of distress with healthier coping, improving relationships (with self and others), and exploring the ways in which current problems may be linked to unresolved issues from the past.

In life we all have opportunities for growth and change, and no one person or challenge is the same. Therapy can be a place to gain awareness, insight, and most importantly find the confidence and personal power to make changes. I work to help clients identify and acknowledge what is not working for them as well as find their own path toward solutions.

In our sessions, I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Through our therapeutic journey together, we will work towards building healthier relationships, nurturing self-care practices, and embracing your unique strengths.

What makes it hard to say what’s really on your mind? To get the comfort and affection you desire? What’s keeping you from showing people who you really are? Traditional talk therapy approaches all of those questions in an open-ended way that can sometimes feel like aimless exploring. Exploring is great if you're on a leisurely hike, but in the context of personal healing and getting what you want out of life, you need a map and clear direction. The map that I use comes from EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), one of the only empirically-validated couples therapy approaches, which is now also being used for individuals and families.

"Teens are tough!" The challenges of adolescence and young adulthood can be difficult and disruptive to a family. In today's fast paced society there are times when we need extra help navigating the ups and downs. Let me help. I have over 15 years of experience working with families, adolescents and individuals using a range of treatment modalities including; cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and positive psychology.

My style of engagement is non-hierarchical and non-pathologizing, and is rooted in and guided by a spirit of loving curiosity, compassion, and camaraderie. I am candid and enjoy *keeping it real* in ways that invite the authenticity and honesty that fuel growth and change. At the same time, I work with sensitive awareness and caring of the many aspects of each individual, of each aspect’s unique needs and desires, and of the need of each to be seen, understood and supported. This approach is the foundation for the collaborative work I do with my clients.
