Therapists in Sonoma County, CA
I believe that people suffer in their own habitual way, whether you are an individual, couple or family. We are unaware of the ways we are separated from ourselves, what we feel and how to live more fully in relationship to ourselves, our loved ones and the world. Careful attentive listening and active engagement are some of the ways I help people know themselves and support their making changes in how they live. I have deep belief and relationship with the unconscious, using dreamwork, active imagination and creative processes to facilitate change. Therapy provides the opportunity to make changes and feel more alive.

My 35 years of experience have entailed providing both psychotherapeutic counseling as well as case management support to disabled & elderly clients, Hospice & dialysis social work. I work with adults of all ages. Each decade has its own challenges. Anxiety, depression, addictions, insecurities, relational issues, health and other issues of all kinds can hamper us at any age. For my clients, I love to use my heart, experience, training & faith practices to create a safe place and provide support to overcome what’s holding them back---to help empower them to reach the fullness, freedom and joy of their own lives and relationships.

As humans, we are interested in living meaningful and connected lives. And sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed, defeated, and confused about how to move forward. Our strategies may no longer be working for us or we face challenges we aren't sure how to navigate. Therapy can help us understand the ways we experience thoughts and emotions, develop effective ways of interacting with the world around us, and approach life more consistently with what we value. Having someone join us on our journey of growth and development can be a powerful experience particularly when they are trained to understand how people grow and change.

In my practice, I attempt to address suffering: what makes us suffer, how we suffer, and how suffering can be alleviated. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues and are not afraid to take on the suffering consciously, with my support, in order to transform their lives. I specialize in the treatment of addictions of all kinds, but primarily chemical, co-dependency, sex and romance, and gambling. I also specialize in the treatment of trauma/PTSD, both from current life situations and from childhood experiences.

I have completed the MAPS-endorsed program to become a certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider (PATP) that prepared me for clinically guiding clients through Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and providing integration post-KAP infusion, which is offered on-site at Windows Health Clinic, along with training towards the anticipated medical release of psilocybin and MDMA. I am also beginning EMDR training in May to June 2024, which has been shown to be helpful for reprocessing trauma memories.

I describe my approach as informal and professional. I believe that the heart of good individual therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. The most common complaint I hear from my clients about other therapists is either that they are a blank screen or they are overly focused on one perspective. Not me. I work with you to develop a plan. I am actively engaged, helping you learn how to help yourself. I also look at how various identities you may have (gender, racial, etc) impact on you and the issues you want to work on. When working with couples, I use an evidence-based approach focused on the present.

What is most important in therapy is that you feel deeply supported and understood. Finding a therapist who shares your LGBTQ+ identity is one less obstacle to being understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative and interactive, where we work together to reach your goals in a safe and supportive environment. Together we can find new ways to uncover your strengths and resources and make changes that leave you more balanced, happy, and authentic. My style is warm and curious and I seek to create relationships attuned to each client.

Just as the speed of technology has rapidly increased and expanded our lives, so has the urgency of people to resolve their life challenges and move quickly through transitions. Here are some of the transitions we may face during our lives: the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, becoming parents, caring for aging parents, beginning new careers, leaving home for the first time or deepening our spiritual lives. I gently guide people to quickly transform these challenges into opportunities to grow and achieve personal goals, in a safe, warm and accepting environment.

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 help perfectionistic women and teenage girls conquer inner struggles that create and perpetuate unwanted, often debilitating, mental and emotional stresses. I specialize in treating anxiety, body image issues, unhelpful eating behaviors, and depression. Does your penchant for perfection interfere with your sense of self and/or rob your joy? Does criticism of yourself cloud your perception and/or erode your confidence? Does your need to be in control leave you drained and with little time or energy for anything else?
