I find it very rewarding counseling with multicultural populations about diverse issues including interpersonal relationships, depression, grief and loss, underachievement, domestic violence, transitions, anxiety, trauma, and anger management.

I love what I do. While I have an affinity for couples work, most of the work I do is on an individual platform. I bring a varied approach to mental health and recovery from trauma. I consider our relationship to be collaborative, however, I am flexible and will take the lead at times when necessary or therapy feels "stuck". I am sensitive the to the fact that much of what you share in session, has never been shared with others and am invested in making therapy a safe space, and a place that you look forward to coming every time.

Are you looking for a way to find peace in the midst of pain? Ready to heal your wounds and come through stronger than before? I help adults with depression, anxiety, or trauma to reconnect with themselves and develop resilience, even when they feel they have already tried everything. Clients have described me as warm, compassionate, and genuine. I create a space where you can feel safe and understood, but also feel empowered to take risks and sometimes stretch beyond your comfort zone. I believe in every person’s ability to create the life they envision.

When I began learning about therapy, the first thing that stood out was this statement: “The client- counselor relationship is the most important criterion for effectiveness.” In my experience with Suicide Prevention, Substance Dependence, Transition Aged Youth in Foster care, and Individual & Family therapy I found the statement to be accurate.

I have many years of experience working with a variety of clients. My approach and style is highly supportive, empathic and encourages the development of self-awareness. I take a mind-body approach to dealing with issues. I have worked with people with the following health challenges; cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, liver disease, substance dependence and depression. In addition, I have years of experience working with people who are undergoing life transitions such as divorce, identity issues, death of a loved one and career transitions. I am a level I trained Gottman Therapist and I work with couples.

It can be common for many of us to struggle with multiple sources of stress that cause us to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. Sometimes having experienced traumatic events, unhealthy relationships, or a sense of isolation can leave us feeling disconnected and dissatisfied. Difficult life circumstances can take our feet out from under us and move us off course, taking us further away from the life we want.

Are you having trouble in your relationship? Are you having trouble with dating and finding the love relationship that you want? Are you a parent who needs help providing structure and healthy boundaries in the lives of your children? Is your family in crisis and you need help setting boundaries and getting back on track? Are you divorcing and do not know what to do? I work with you individually to help with these issues and help you build the skills it takes to find or keep the quality romantic and family relationships you deserve.

Hi There! Each individual, family, and couple is different, my approach to treatment planning is based on client goals that I can help assist in reaching. I believe in establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients due to life challenges that are sometimes hard to overcome alone. As a therapist, it is important for me to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.We will work together to better coping skills, establish healthy relationships, and find strengths that will help with short and long term goals. I look forward to working together to build a healthier future.

I began providing psychotherapy in Contra Costa in 1996 while obtaining my MA Degree with a Specialization in Couple and Family Therapy at John F. Kennedy's Graduate School of Professional Psychology. Since then I have continued working in Solano County with individual adults, children & teens, and their families, and couples. I facilitated men's groups in a jail-based substance abuse treatment program for four years while working at Youth And Family Services until 2005. I've been in private practice since then.

Hi, my name is Ellie and I am here for you. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, guilt, shame, loneliness, or any other feeling that is not serving you well. This last year and a half in particular has caused significant added stress for so many of us. Coping strategies we once had may no longer be effective and this may lead to hopelessness and increased stress. Together I believe that we can figure out what you need in order to live a fulfilling and authentic life.

Are you in a "caterpillar stage" of life? You sense that you could be more, but you find yourself limited by negative thoughts and/or overwhelming emotions. Or are you in a "chrysalis stage"? Your whole life seems to have disintegrated into nothing recognizable, and you are struggling to make sense of it all. From a foundation of empathy, acceptance, compassion, and respect, I provide a safe and supportive environment in which to grow and/or heal. I work from a "client-centered" approach that helps you find your own answers and healing from within.
