Choosing to work with a therapist is a very personal decision, usually prompted by facing a challenge that feels insurmountable alone. Everyone copes differently, but I believe the desire to be seen and understood is universal. I strive to create a safe, open and compassionate space for my clients to explore their struggles, and to work through thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I focus on client strengths and goals, while working collaboratively toward meaningful and sustainable growth. My hope is that clients find grounding and meaning in their lived experiences through our work together.

I believe therapy can be an incredibly valuable space to find clarity and support when we need it most. Good conversations help us identify what's ours, what old stories we may carry that do not serve us anymore, and what tools we can access and utilize towards the changes we are seeking. As a Narrative Therapist, I help create conversations that bring ease, strengths and resources to the foreground, supporting the journey with warmth. I work with clients who experience difficulty with life transitions, depression, grief, anxiety, job stressors, or struggle with significant relationships.

I always begin with careful listening to your needs. Our relationship, and your understanding of yourself, are the keystones. These are much more important than the labels which have been placed on your problem. You may have already received "good advice" from friends and family. A trained and caring professional can help move you beyond the cycles you are stuck in. This is true whether you are seeking couple's counseling or individual therapy. I use emotion-focused, somatic, and psychodynamic approaches. I have completed the EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy) externship training program in couples therapy.

I believe we all carry within us everything we need to heal. There are also times in our lives when we need extra support to access inner resources, healing and growth. As your therapist, we will explore together ways that old habits, patterns and history limit the life you want to be living. Whether you are stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, facing big life transitions, worried about your teen, or longing for more meaning and connection in your relationships, you are not alone in your struggle. It is a courageous act to get support and I honor your unique life journey.

At times, life feels challenging and we forget parts of ourselves and our inner compass loses focus. Therapy can be a way or remembering and coming back to our wholeness. With presence, authenticity, and deep listening, I will support you with creating a healing journey that best meets your unique needs and challenges and can be applied in the "real world" in order to bring about the healing and growth that is most transformative, nurturing, compassionate, and wise for you. I am passionate about integrating nature based practices, mind-body-spirt wholeness, and skilled in supporting women and historically marginalized communities.

I believe some of our greatest challenges can reveal themselves to be opportunities for growth and change. Within ourselves we all carry innate wisdom and the ability to heal. As a clinician it is my goal to support you in reconnecting with your Authentic Self and rediscover the answers already within you, which may help ease your pain and suffering. When burdened by depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, or substance abuse, a person's ability to connect to their true self becomes blocked. My focus is to create a safe an nurturing environment to guide you back to your Authentic Self.

Finding safety and the conditions in which to explore all aspects of your experience are vital components in the therapeutic process. The introduction of art, play, and somatic therapies may provide additional ways to bring creativity to the exploration of the material at hand.
I work with children and adults and I specialize in exploring and reconnecting to one's core self. Trauma, illness, and anxiety can disrupt this essential connection - it can be regained.

I believe we are remarkably resilient; have an innate ability to understand ourselves and to repair; are multifaceted and unique; and are made to live in connection. My therapeutic approach is informed by 50+ years of life experience. I became a clinical psychologist by way of leading wilderness trips with children, teenagers, and adults; teaching in alternative and comprehensive high schools; doctoral training in psychology; and subsequent internships in Sonoma County (Lomi Psychotherapy Clinic, Chrysalis Community Counseling Services, West County High School Outreach Therapy, Hospice of Petaluma, and Memorial Hospice).

I know that we are whole all the time. I know that we are essentially good. Yet, I know that every one of us is not always able to believe this. As an extremely relational person and nature loving being, I have come to realize that a human thrives through healthy relationships and time in nature. Both of those provide mirrors to the wholeness and the goodness of that human.

We all have times when we need help finding our authentic voice. We crave connection and a sense of belonging and balance in our lives. Choosing to begin therapy requires a big commitment to yourself. It means that the discomfort you have been feeling has finally reached a point that requires change. I see therapy as a process of self-discovery: a careful, supportive exploration of how you act, think and feel. I'm a firm believer that telling the truth, first to ourselves and then to others is the starting point for a balanced life.

A wise man once said that all life is relationship. Indeed, we all want to be seen, valued and supported. Connection with ourselves and others is also the most challenging aspect of being human. Often we do not receive the skills to create safe connections or have had experiences that leaves us reluctant to reach out. We can be left feeling alone, anxious, and depressed. We may struggle with communication skills and habits that undermine us and leave us feeling dissatisfied with ourself and our relationships.

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 imagine you are here because you are experiencing some kind of trouble, or unrest in your life or relationships. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by work, by parenting, or feeling haunted by a history that caused you deep pain? Many of us, no matter how many close connections we have, can be living our lives feeling very much unseen, and alone. I wholeheartedly believe that though we may feel lost or under-resourced in the moment, we already have everything we need inside of ourselves to be living a life of deep fulfillment, joy and an experience of wholeness in our lives.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
