Female Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

I believe it is the "personhood" of the therapist that is most important for a genuine therapeutic relationship. I am compassionate, very intelligent and plain speaking. I have treated adults and couples for 28 years. I have lots of life experience too, which will hopefully help in understanding your issues. I am a wife and mother, have lived in 4 countries and trained therapists for 10 years. I help young and not-so-young people with their relationships with others and themselves, and with those transitions that are part of human existence.

I am particularly dedicated to helping people experiencing depression and trauma. I enjoy helping women strengthen their self esteem and assertiveness skills. Over the years clients have told me that they appreciate my relaxed style, and that I am easy to talk to. I also think that there is room for humor, as well as tears in therapy.

I help kids, teens, and families experiencing divorce create a fulfilling “new normal” by moving from stuck and overwhelmed to thriving and free. I know that you are more than a person going through a divorce. It is overwhelming to ensure your kids are supported, especially while you are learning what it means to be a single parent, navigating the impossible waters of being a healthy co-parent, adjusting to the new financial realities, and not to mention dealing with your own heartbreak.

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.

In life we often experience once beautiful relationships that have become strained or distant leaving us feeling depressed, anxious, ineffective or alone. Old anger, boundary issues, financial stress, or pain of loss can leave you at odds with friends, co-workers or the family members you love. As a parent you may feel guilty or overwhelmed as you watch your children struggle with academics, disadvantages, peer relationships or self-esteem. Perhaps you are that child or teen feeling pulled down by the expectations of teachers or parents,divorce, social isolation, the legal system or the complexities of an intimate relationship.

Are you a woman who feels like something's missing in your life, or in you? Do you tend to put your needs last or minimize your problems? Maybe you're hard on yourself too. And you've been pulled off balance by: stress, anxiety, self-doubt, depression, grief, life transition, relationship struggles or career/life dissatisfaction. I counsel and coach women just like you through challenging and confusing life passages and difficult times. I'll help you reclaim the wise, empowered woman within and also encourage you to see yourself as worthy and good enough. The result: self-compassion, self-belief, deeper connections, more aliveness.

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.

I want your body to feel like a home. When we experience overwhelm, trauma, and loss, our experience in our bodies and minds can feel unpredictable, scary, or foreign. I offer therapy that aims to collaborate with you to restore an inner sense of safety, peace and agency. I believe therapy is about creating enough safety to stretch beyond what is familiar into a place of thriving. I will assist you to identify and change any trauma-related patterns and beliefs that constrict your ability to live fully, and help you to develop your capacity for self-compassion and acceptance.

I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is the foundation in order for any healing to happen. Trust and mutual respect is important for progress to be made and I spend time getting to know the client and what brings them in. The client is the expert on their life and their experiences, and I feel privileged to be the witness of that journey. I focus on working with children (ages 6 and up) and their families who have experienced trauma, family conflict, or other hardship. I also enjoy and treasure working with women and women 's issues, including parenting, trauma and emotional difficulties.

I specialize in supporting women during life transitions. This might be due to welcoming a new child into your home and relationship, life stage (perimenopause /menopause), ending a relationship or a chronic illness. You might be experiencing a sense that you have lost a part of yourself. Maybe your anxiety or depression is preventing you from enjoying your life fully, or feeling overwhelmed with how to move forward with the life that you want. Often during life's transitions it is a powerful time to take a pause and reflect. I am here to support you as a guide back to your own inner wisdom and path home to yourself.

For over 20 years I have been helping men, women and couples when their lives have become painful, deadened, upsetting, or when unexpected events disrupted their lives. I will join with you to help tolerate immediate concerns, to develop effective techniques for you, and if you want, explore further possibilities for more satisfying relationships and life. I'm experienced in both brief, solution-focused therapy, and exploratory deep therapy. I offer clients an empathic, collaborative and individually-focused therapeutic relationship: the surprising paradox of relationship is how we can become more true to ourselves by fully being with someone else.

Is the suffering that you keep circling back around to your soul calling out to you to dig deeper and really heal yourself? Many of us wonder why we suffer so much in our relationships, why we are afraid of love, why we stay in less fulfilling places in life rather than taking the steps to live a more meaningful, larger life. The calling for humanity is coming from our souls. If you can at least be open to this possibility, I invite you into the therapy process of tapping into your soul's wisdom and letting it guide you.

The typical client comes to therapy when familiar patterns are no longer working. Together we will build a trusting relationship allowing us to uncover obstacles to change which often include feelings of grief or loss. As these and other painful memories and patterns are revealed, we are able to move the client toward more productive behavior and a healthier, happier life.

I believe that our moments of greatest struggle can also hold the most potential for growth and self-discovery. By giving ourselves a supportive space to explore the places that feel painful or stuck, we open ourselves to a wealth of information about our deepest desires, strengths, and wisdom. This makes it possible to live with greater self-compassion, freedom in our actions, and ease in our relationships. Whether you are navigating a significant life transition, suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma, I am dedicated to providing a safe and respectful space to embark on this journey.

I have had experience with many alcoholic/addicts and have worked in treatment for over 13 years. I have also worked with many clients who have had significant trauma in their history. I am comfortable with both men and women , dealing with issues ranging from life transition, divorce, and narcissistic parents and spouses. We will discuss self-limiting beliefs and how they have affected your mind, body, and soul. When the belief is changed within the subconscious mind, behavior changes, and thus, life will significantly change.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self esteem? Do you wish you had a better body image, or could control emotional eating? Have difficulty setting boundaries and find yourself resentful because of it? Many people who didn't get their needs met in the past struggle to be truly kind to themselves and need a compassionate witness in that process. These are some of the issues I work with on a regular basis in my practice. I see people new to therapy, as well as those who are continuing their journey towards greater authenticity, healing, and meaning.
