I view each person as an expert of their own experience, with therapy as a collaborative process focusing on an enduring connectedness with others and the world. I use an empathic, compassionate, and direct approach, which may allow for safety and trust to develop. Supported by my undergraduate training at San Francisco State University, and graduate training at the California Institute of Integral Studies, I believe in the importance of socio-cultural, environmental experiences as they contribute to the innate resilience and compassion within each person.

Psychotherapy is one way to promote change which examines attitude, feelings, emotions and motivation when the individual, couple or family experience is less than funtional. The work is mainly to encourage the patient to talk and explore their feelings, beliefs, and thoughts which develops integrated mindful awareness. In other words emotional growth. Additionally, this is a process which seeks to help gain an increased capacity for choice, through which the patient becomes more autonomous,functional and self-determined. Dr. Laine strongly believes that this challenging work is best accomplished in an atmosphere of safety, caring, support and is dedicated to providing this for all patients.

I would be honored to help you in self-discovery and change. It takes a lot of courage to travel down that path. I often can intuit the key issues underlying a person’s suffering, which are often relational-both within ourselves and with others.

Finding clarity, compassion, and new ways to effectively deal with problems are essential in therapy. I will help you find where you are stuck and ways to get unstuck, by changing how you process both your thoughts and feelings. I work with both adults and couples.
