Therapists in Ukiah, CA

I love to collaborate with clients to break through barriers by building skills and clarity to create change, healing and a deepening of purpose.

Are you feeling anxiety, despair, or mood swings that make it difficult to function or cope? Are you trying to navigate relationship challenges and can’t seem to figure out what is wrong or how to fix things? Are you having trouble finding a therapist who deeply, truly understands what it feels like to have depression, anxiety, or mania? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, I am here for you and I may be able to help. For private pay clients you may request a Good Faith Estimate for the anticipated cost of services.

My approach is interactive and relational and I will meet you where you are with a great deal of warmth, respect and patience. I see therapy as a collaborative process and I am dedicated to providing a welcoming, non-judgmental space where we can address your hopes for therapy together. I enjoy working with individual adults, adolescents and couples.

At times we are thrown in to an experience of life that calls for a new way of responding. Thumped by unrelenting negative self-judgment, stuck in swamps of depression, seized by insecurities, paralyzing uncertainty, anxiety, panic, or held in the unforgiving clutches of recurring memories (trauma, grief, regret), the world can seem vast, uncaring, and harsh. And, in that world we may feel disconnected, alone, even fearful. Psychotherapy with me includes deeply confidential, trustworthy, empathic, accepting, sacred space in which I deeply listen, you explore, and come to understand your unique experience in pursuit of symptom reduction, increased self-reliance, and personal transformation.

Mine is an eclectic orientation. I have been deeply influenced by several years of practice in body oriented physio and psychotherapy. I have training and experience in Ericksonian Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness and Relaxation Therapies, Brief Therapies (Problem and Solution Focused), Trauma Informed (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral) Therapy, CBT, Neo-Jungian Therapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. I have worked in private practice, County Mental Health, and Non-Profit Mental Health settings. I prefer to work with adults,18 and older, to aid and assist in healing, personal growth, and self awareness.

I have been interested in transformative Consciousness work since the early 1970's and have extensive training in both Freudian and Jungian psychology, and varities of Mindfulness Practice. I practiced psychotherapy in greater Boston from 1973 through 1991 and then came to California to study with a Jungian teacher who studied with Carl Jung, M.D., in Zurich Switzerland in the mid 1950's! I currently combine meditative practice with the best multi-modal psychotherapy practices in order to help clients gain the maximum advantage in their lives!
