Prefer in-person Tx in Sebastopol & SF (Weds./ wkly).
Please just call. I will help you feel comfortable, having done this work for over 40 years. I attend closely to my client's own described experience. Through my understanding of you, I help you understand /deal with your own core (existential) issues which cause suffering. My role is as facilitator/ spiritual midwife. The true catalysts for change arise from daily life. Ultimately a client learns to: know self more deeply, feel obstacles energetically, face conflicts consciously, and release any internal resistance blocking movement. Real growth must occur in integrated ways throughout body and mind.

It is a truly an exciting time to have the privilege of working with people in family therapy. In the last decade, advances made in understanding the connection of mind, body and spirit give us wonderful tools for building satisfying relationships with ourselves and others. During my 25 years in practice, I have learned the importance of listening carefully and responding with compassion I see it as my job to create a safe and respectful relationship with you. From this ground, we work, at your pace, with whatever issues unfold. In our work together, you will increase your awareness and authenticity.

REST YOUR MIND -OPEN YOUR HEART For over 25 years I have been both a LMFT and a Buddhist meditation teacher (see OccidentalLagunaSangha.org), but I work with clients of all beliefs. I bring mindfulness practices, focusing therapy, depth psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy and lots of life experience to my work with clients. Clients often bring depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions to our work. Together with empathy and compassion we explore what cuts us off from being more fully present with our lives.

I help folks dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic health problems, and relationship issues of all kinds. My clients tend to be creative, philosophical, or intellectual people, and often (like myself) were raised in more than one culture. While what brings people to therapy is usually a stressful event or persistent problem, beyond just helping to relieve their suffering in the short term, my hope is that they discover through our work a lasting satisfaction that comes from taking the time to review their lives carefully and understand themselves more deeply.

I believe that a nurturing, safe environment and a warm, empathetic and interactive relationship is key to the healing process. I enjoy helping people in discovering and getting to know their authentic self, to discover within themselves the power to change and make more creative and life-affirming choices. I work with adults, teens, families and men/ fathers in strengthening relationships, helping to overcome various life challenges and discovering and unlocking their full potential as an authentic human being.

I offer therapy sessions in-person, on the world's softest sofa, or online via video.
Much of philosophy today contends that modern life is damaged life. Theodor Adorno tells us that this life is wrong and cannot be lived rightly, while Walter Benjamin observes that, in terms of our structures of feeling and knowing the world, “we have become impoverished”. Adorno and Max Horkheimer suggest that magic died long ago. Wrong life, poverty of experience, and the death of magic: how then can we live? This question animates my thought as psychotherapist and educator. Over two decades of clinical practice have taught me that damaged life can be beautiful life, capable of the most radical kind of joy.

I offer telehealth and in person sessions to residents of California.
Clients who gravitate toward me as a therapist tend to share a desire to know themselves with greater depth and kindness. I offer the opportunity to make connections between what has happened in the past and the impact on the present, while also consistently highlighting strengths and what is working well. It is my pleasure to work collaboratively, whether with individuals, families, or couples.

Life was never meant to be fair - just ask the wildness of nature. Life is filled with joy and sadness; love and grief. This is part of being human. How do we find purpose and meaning in life? We're born with a unique gift; we're wounded by life. Our core wound lies beside our unique gift, our purpose. Our responsibility is to give this gift to our family, friends, community. This underlies all of my work with you as we peel back the layers: what is it you bring to us? It lies beside your deepest pain, regret, what frightens you the most. Our work together is to change your relationship to that wound so you can give your gift.

Welcome.
If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling overwhelmed—by parenting, by work, or by old pain that still lingers. Maybe you’re navigating a season of transition or carrying a sense of disconnection, even in the midst of close relationships. So many of us move through life feeling unseen, exhausted, or quietly alone.
I believe—deeply—that we each carry the capacity for healing within us. Even when we feel lost or under-resourced, there are parts of us that know how to move toward wholeness, joy, and connection. Therapy can help us rediscover and reclaim those inner resources.

I work with children 2-10 years old who need support coping with stressors in their life: family changes, grief/loss, trauma, school/peer challenges that result in symptoms of anxiety, depression or aggression. Children show us they are struggling through their behavior and my role is to help identify and unravel the feelings under the behavior. I utilize play based therapy, art therapy, and therapeutic books to validate and process feelings. Together we explore a variety of coping strategies, including sensory materials, music making and mindfulness. Treatment is individualized to each child based on age and presenting symptoms.
