Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Many of us are experiencing anxiety or depression in response to world events. Some have been struggling with personal issues for some time, and find it difficult to ask for help. My goal is to make the process of getting help for yourself, or loved ones, as easy as possible. Together we will identify problems that impact your life and together we will create positive, lasting change. I offer a grounding presence to my clients and use an integration of techniques that address the body, mind and spirit. I support all forms of intimate relationships, and believe everyone deserves compassion and respect.

I work with people from all walks of life, experiencing a wide variety of mental, emotional and relationship difficulties. I work with children, parents of children, adolescents, adults and older adults. Adult psychotherapy clients who work best with me are usually looking for lasting solutions to emotional problems rather than advice, "tools" or quick fixes and they can tolerate a listening approach designed to deepen discussion. They understand that the unacknowledged thoughts and feelings that create havoc can emerge in therapy, and they are looking for a professional to help them understand and work through difficult moments.

I believe we are all doing the very best we know how to do, and that people seek therapy to learn new ways, ways that help make their lives and relationships work better. It is my honor to support people that are in pain and confusion to learn a better way. I am here to serve as a mirror and a guide so that you can find who you really are and how to more fully express that. I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 29699) since 1997 and practicing in a variety of settings ever since, including Private Practice, County Behavioral Health and Non-profit agencies.

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.

Are you ready to change your life and not sure how to start? Would you like to learn how to break patterns that leave you feeling anxious, angry, or depressed? I welcome the opportunity to guide you through an understanding of triggers and patterns that keep you from fully connecting with yourself and others. I encourage individuals to tap into their inherent wisdom instead of their self-critic to find the compassion and strength to make changes. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to help people heal, gain greater self-awareness, and learn practical tools for improving their lives.

Caring for a dependent person with whom you have a previous history is uniquely challenging. Family histories and dynamics do not go away when someone gets sick. In addition to juggling the tasks of helping a dependent family member get through the day, caregivers are balancing obligations such as work, parenting and other responsibilities. One's own health and wellbeing, finances, and other roles and relationships can all be affected by the demands of caregiving. Finding balance and coping with ambiguity can be challenging, especially in the presence of emotional undercurrents such as grief, loss, resentment, guilt and overwhelm.

I love working as a therapist and find that I am deeply fulfilled working with clients on any of life's many complexities. I am an active and engaged therapist who seeks to truly understand and connect with each of my clients, regardless of whatever challenges and conflicts they are facing and attempting to resolve. My purpose as a therapist is best served when I am being myself: straightforward and direct, curious and compassionate, and deeply engaged and connected. The primary focus of my work is with couples and individuals of any sexual orientation and relationship style.

Do you want to feel more connected to yourself and others? Do you feel like your potential Self is clouded with overwhelm, worries, doubts, old patterns, or a lack of motivation? I can help you sort through the mire and feel your way to more fulfillment in peer relationships, love life and career. I work with each client to cultivate resilience, encourage healthy self-expression, build self-esteem, access creativity, develop positive relational patterns and communication skills, heal from trauma, and grieve loss.

Quite often people are reluctant to admit to having problems. Life is difficult when your problems are long lasting and impair your ability to function adequately in the world ie at work, school or in the home. Life is difficult when you can't seem to maintain satisfying, safe relationships w/others. You may feel that there's something wrong with you or that you just aren't ever going to be able to have the kind of life you want. And it's not for lack of trying. Perhaps you just don't know what to do. All that you have tried to do seems to have failed and left you floundering, frustrated and feeling hopeless.
