I integrate mindfulness principles with the more traditional approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative,
Emotionally Focused
and Psychodynamic Theories.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with life, incongruent with who you are and who you want to be, have doubts about your ability to change that which you want to change, transition from a known place to the unknown…. Sometimes you just need someone to talk with and sort out your thoughts and feelings. Someone to help you better understand what motivates or hinders you. Someone who will teach you new skills to manage the feelings that seem unmanageable, or behavior that no longer serves you.

My training in art,
Emotionally Focused
Therapy (Johnson), Focusing (Gendlin), and mindfulness-based spiritual practices have influenced my work.
My work focuses on helping clients find more meaning and joy in their lives, as well as experience a deeper sense of who they are and what they need (both from themselves and others), realize their potential and uniqueness, move toward themselves with acceptance and compassion, and cultivate a greater sense of connectedness with others.

Do your efforts to get close to your partner end in fights--or distance? I use EFT,
Emotionally Focused
Therapy for Couples, to help you transform your destructive couple patterns into a safe, secure and loving bond. EFT gets to the root causes of conflict and disconnection, counteracts blame and guilt, and creates a sound foundation for a lifetime of growth in intimacy. Results have been clinically shown to be extremely effective and to continue improving after treatment ends. I also use AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) for individuals to create a new experience of secure attachment.

Just as the speed of technology has rapidly increased and expanded our lives, so has the urgency of people to resolve their life challenges and move quickly through transitions. Here are some of the transitions we may face during our lives: the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, becoming parents, caring for aging parents, beginning new careers, leaving home for the first time or deepening our spiritual lives. I gently guide people to quickly transform these challenges into opportunities to grow and achieve personal goals, in a safe, warm and accepting environment.

I have specialized training and experience in couples therapy. If you are stuck in a painfully destructive relationship pattern, I can help you. I have worked with couples for over 27 years. EFT,
Emotionally Focused
Therapy for couples, is by far the most effective way to work with relationship problems. EFT is one of the only empirically validated couples therapy approaches, and has been shown to out-perform all other modalities in follow-up studies, tracking couples after therapy has ended. EFT has dramatically increased my ability to help couples transform painful relationship patterns into deeply fulfilling and enduring bonds.

I offer low-fee counseling for people looking to heal their pain and transforms their lives.

It is my passion to help guide people through the courageous process of healing the past and moving forward into greater health and well-being. I offer sessions both in-person and through telemedicine.

I am trained in
Emotionally Focused
Therapy, which is an evidenced based modality with excellent outcomes.
I help couples to change their relationship patterns so that they can feel heard, understood and loved by their partner once again. Couples usually come to me feeling intensely frustrated and stuck in reoccurring issues that, despite their best efforts, they are unable to work out. I help couples get to the heart of what is so difficult and then communicate in new ways that allow connection where there was previously only hurt, anger or distance.

I specialize in a process called
Emotionally Focused
Therapy for Couples and I would love to help you.
It's so hard to find peace when you and your partner can't see eye to eye. Where did the magic go? How did you lose sight of the attraction that brought you together to begin with? "We used to be so in love...what went wrong? My partner feels so far away. How did we get stuck in this pattern of fighting and blame? Even when we try to make changes, we just wind up hurting or avoiding each other in the same old painful ways. Sometimes it hurts so much, other times I just feel numb."

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.

Life can be so challenging - bills, relationships, health, children. Oftentimes, it is natural to need help, and therapy can be just what you need to get refocused, increase your stamina and well-being, or simply live your life more richly and joyfully.

The clients that are drawn to working with me are individuals who are determined to free themselves from emotional oppression. Negative life experiences can hinder our ability to grow into our full potential and can cause us to engage in unhealthy relationships with ourselves, the ones we love and the world around us. It is with love and compassion that I work in partnership with my clients to discover what inner wounds and needs there are to be tended to.

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.

Are you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Is your life not working as well as you would like? Are you feeling stressed or experiencing negative relationship patterns? I can help. Sometimes clients know exactly what they need, and sometimes it isn't clear. Together we will identify your goals and priorities and then I can help create a clear path to healing. My desire is to provide a place where clients can share freely and be true to themselves.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. Santa Rosa Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
