Teletherapy for Santa Rosa, CA

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing the ongoing impacts of past trauma and are ready to heal and move forward. I have over 10 years of experience working with complex trauma (C-PTSD). I am certified in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am also trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy. I believe both of these approaches are powerful tools to heal past trauma. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused CBT and DBT. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe it is important to work at a pace that feels safe to you. I will offer support, guidance, and empathy throughout the process.

I offer a relational, insightful, effective approach to therapy, aiming to help you find a sense of belonging and aliveness in the world. I welcome those who grieve, working with you to find the first hard steps after life has come undone, and with you as you learn to see in the dark. So often grief and trauma intertwine, and I offer help with the anxiety, vigilance, sleep problems, and relationship stress that often come with overwhelming experiences of trauma. Working with Brainspotting to access these places of trauma, and process them with careful attunement, I can help bring room for new perspectives and grounding in life.

Openings Available! It's easy to see what we want to change, but not easy to start. I can provide caring and empathy that makes the road to improvement, recovery or managing illnesses like depression, bipolar and anxiety a lot less lonely. Are you ready to start a conversation that can offer dramatic change? Then you're already moving with bravery and I want to meet you. My practice accepts Partnership/Carelon, Private Pay and Out of Network clients. Can't wait to speak with you.

I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

Is there something in your life that you want to change but are uncertain how to begin? I’m here to help. My goal is to help you get what you need by actively listening and providing you with the skills and tools to overcome your obstacles and make that change. Because every person is different, I offer a person-centered approach to exploring and tackling the unique challenges you’re experiencing. As an openly gay parent in a loving long-term interracial marriage, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to process and work through issues.

Are you tired of fighting the same battles in your head? Feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of adulting? Does social anxiety keep you on the sidelines? Unlike traditional therapy focused on "fixing" you, I guide clients on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. We'll explore your inner world with compassionate curiosity, helping you understand and befriend your emotions, not silence them. This approach unlocks lasting changes that go beyond temporary symptom relief.

All of us face challenges in dealing with what life can often throw at us. Sometimes we need some help or an outside perspective that we can trust and feel safe with to assist us to see these challenges in a new light. As this can be an intimidating process for some, I strive to create a safe and trusting space for folks to begin to face their challenges. My aim is to be as authentic and accessible as possible as therapy can be an intimidating and unknown process to many. One needs to feel safe to explore and change aspects of themselves or their lives and one of my main goals is to create a safe and equitable space to achieve this.

As an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed therapist with extensive training in Emotionally Focussed Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals (EFIT), I specialize in helping clients work with and heal past trauma and change patterns or dynamics that are no longer working for them. I am interactive with my clients, always leading with empathy and curiosity. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck, I am here to help you on your journey towards healing and growth. Together we can begin to understand and heal your experiences so that you can navigate your life from a place of choice.

Relationship challenges, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms make daily life a challenge. I work with these common issues among all people, bodies and genders. I currently see individual, couples and non-monogamous partnerships. My orientations are relational, psychodynamic, and somatic. If you want a steady and strong presence, I'm your therapist. I will help you learn to express your needs in a way others can hear it, build self-trust and develop healthier coping mechanisms. We often find meaning in our lives through the process of unravelling struggle and reprocessing trauma. Therapy is a promising route.

I provide guidance towards building trust and balance, by forming a growing alliance with you. Together, we find a pathway to renew your mind/body/spirit connection. We access your inner resources, to create a unified sense of self. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, fear, isolation, anger, trauma, we pay attention to these signals. We meet vulnerability with a gentle rhythm, so the heart can release these emotions. Our intent is to nurture a relationship to yourself, based on self acceptance, honor and respect. Our focus is to create a feeling of safety within yourself, security in the world, and an opening to wholeness.

No matter how challenging life may be, I believe it is possible to move forward, to heal from a painful past, to navigate transitions, and to find healing and healthy relationships. I am here to support you in this process in a warm, empathic and collaborative way. I draw on my background in counseling psychology, meditation and somatics as I work with clients from all walks of life.

Do you need help for anxiety, a challenging inner critic, panic attacks, finding direction in life, dealing with interpersonal conflict, and exploring sexual orientation and/or gender identity? I offer ways to explore finding a sense of greater ease and well-being in relationship with yourself. For couples/relationships, I facilitate and assist in communication and exploration with each other and offer a holding space for underlying disharmony to arise. I am proudly queer-, poly-, and kink-affirming.

Welcome to my therapy practice. This is where growth and personal healing can really happen. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping individuals learn how to build healthier relationships and achieve their life goals. I believe developing a trusting relationship is essential to create change. I specialize in helping my clients not just get relief from painful emotional struggles—such as anxiety and depression—but also create lasting change in their most significant relationships.

Life is full of ups, downs, twists and turns that are often unexpected, confusing, challenging, wonderful and even painful. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional and have been practicing for over 6 years. I have a passion for working with teens, children, young adults and families. I spent the first 4 years of my career working in Residential Treatment supporting children and teens that have complex trauma and a variety of mental health concerns including: PTSD, attachment challenges, grief and loss, panic disorder, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and ADHD.

Are you curious about your own moods and patterns? Have you always wanted to understand yourself better? Do you feel that you could feel so much happier if you had new or better coping skills? My approach to psychotherapy is to use my years of experience working with people who are open, eager to learn and who are craving a life that is more fulfilling with less worry, self-disparagement and suffering. I have a practical, down to earth style that will let you feel safe and open to growth and change.

I believe that connection is our greatest human strength and that facilitating an understanding and pattern of safe connection to self and others is the primary work of therapy. I work relationally with my clients to provide a safe, stable, caring space where you can explore your life, your thoughts, your feelings and your needs. This form of exploration can help you move to see yourself with less judgment, more empathy, more self love and a deeper sense of understanding. When we operate from this place within ourselves, we are better able to make choices and decisions that result in less suffering.

Are you feeling lost, confused, sad, unsure, angry or disconnected? Are you sick of the same patterns, same outcomes, but don't know how to change? Perhaps something has happened in your life that is overwhelming and you need a place to figure it out. There are numerous reasons someone comes to therapy, but if you are exploring these pages you owe it to yourself to check out therapy. Seeking therapy does not mean there is something wrong with you. Seeking therapy means you have enough insight to know you need some help figuring out next steps, making change, and creating support.

Our lives here on earth are a creative experience! At times, we need a place to rest and tend to our inner world. I view the therapeutic process as a brave space to access parts of ourselves that we want to grow and transform. My goal in working with you is to provide a supportive environment that will cultivate an increased awareness of your needs, self-compassion and understanding of who you are becoming.
