Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Sebastopol, CA

I provide a safe, supportive place for creative problem solving and self exploration. Each individual has a unique combination of strengths, needs and personal history that need to be identified and used to best achieve their goals. I view psychotherapy as a tool that can help people see new possibilities and potential in their lives, conquer fears and expand imitations.

For me, the focus of therapy is not primarily to fix disorders or cure diseases; I seek to increase your positive life skills rather than address negative patterns. What happens in the therapy hour is a microcosm of life at large. How you do anything is how you do everything. And so, I give special attention to the actual, to the present moment, in particular your immediate subjective experience. Ultimately, when you become aware of your resistance(s) to pain and return to wholeness and authenticity, my work is done.

Is your marriage or relationship troubled by the impact of resentment, criticism, or silence? Are you always feeling defensive? Or, has the romance just run out?

The word “heal” comes from “to make whole.” Psychotherapy, more aptly psyche-therapy, is a sacred process of tending to the soul wound and waking more fully to one’s aliveness and inherent wholeness. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in healing the fragmented and disowned parts of self that hinder you from living a life of meaningful connections, purposeful self-agency and joy. We work collaboratively to creatively transform unconscious and limiting belief structures, access your resiliencies, welcome emerging truths, skillfully navigate adversity with new tools, and integrate insights for profound and evolving change.

With flexible hours and both in-person and virtual options, I meet you where you are to support your journey toward growth and well-being.

Caring for a dependent person with whom you have a previous history is uniquely challenging. Family histories and dynamics do not go away when someone gets sick. In addition to juggling the tasks of helping a dependent family member get through the day, caregivers are balancing obligations such as work, parenting and other responsibilities. One's own health and wellbeing, finances, and other roles and relationships can all be affected by the demands of caregiving. Finding balance and coping with ambiguity can be challenging, especially in the presence of emotional undercurrents such as grief, loss, resentment, guilt and overwhelm.

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.

Are you struggling with a transition, experiencing the loss of a loved one or a relationship, or perhaps have lost touch with your own sense of joy and vibrancy?

You need someone who listens very carefully. We all need to feel safe and supported. We need to talk to someone who can connect the dots and always give clear and honest feedback. We want to feel validated and empowered by your own strengths. Sometimes we need help fighting our demons. This may come from a history of abuse/trauma. From this abuse we may have anger and/or anxiety and depression or addiction. Our addictions could include Drugs and Alcohol, or Food. For some of us we may need help to understand how to communicate wisely in our relationships or we may need to help dealing with our loneliness, isolation and grief.
