Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

When you are searching for a therapist the many choices may be confusing. There are so many different ways to describe a safe place where one can explore options, learn to communicate more effectively, debrief from previous hurts, exploitations or resolve a current crisis. Achieving a higher standard of life through self awareness and for some, banishing the self talk of shame and low self esteem which brings many to seek help. As your therapist, I incorporate my own personal work, training and supervison and above all, the experience of working with clients for the past 30 years.

I hold to the belief that all people have the potential to achieve healing and growth. As a practitioner, I take a supportive role as clients determine and strive towards their mental and emotional health goals. I believe my empathy and my non-judgmental, conversational style help form productive therapeutic relationships. In this safe place, difficult issues can be explored.

Nurturing and guiding our children is one of the most beautiful and challenging experiences. As a parent myself, I have a deep and meaningful connection to the work with children and families. Staying regulated and resourced is wise but a difficult balance to find. Often our children's needs are difficult to understand and manage. Working with a professional through the world of play can unlock meaning making for the entire family. Please reach out to learn more about my approach and share your own needs around tending your family's heart.

I founded Be Love Community Counseling to provide safe, healing space for people that have been oppressed, marginalized or have an identity outside of the "dominant culture." Historic trauma and past hurts may show up as depression, anxiety, anger management issues, low self-esteem, underachievement, oppositional behaviors etc. You may think that something is wrong with you while what you're experiencing may actually be a result of something that has happened to you or your ancestors. Therapy is empowering as you may increase awareness about what is keeping you from freedom to live the life you desire.
