As a client-centered therapist, I believe in meeting you where you are. Identifying your current situation as well as your needs and desires will guide our therapy work together. Weaving education during our collaboration will bring a deeper awareness and greater understanding. Having over 10 years of experience working with first responders I utilize a trauma-informed lens with a Solution-Focused practical application.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with individuals and families on their journey to improve their mental health and well-being. I provide a safe, caring, non-judgmental, and strength based approach.

I approach therapy from a person-centered focus looking to create solutions and change. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and understanding environment to facilitate growth, progress, and healing in a client's everyday life. I have extensive experience working with adults in healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and burnout.

I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment by providing empathy, compassion, and a genuine approach in the treatment process. Since 2009, I have been treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational/intimacy issues. I integrate mindfulness meditation, CBT, healthy living practices and family systems techniques as a strategy to facilitate growth, healing, and balance.

I work with individuals and couples dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, divorce, gender communication, trauma, stress management, work and life coaching. Executive coaching,career path strategies, leadership development, navigating politics, 360's/selection assessments. With offices in Mill Valley & Santa Rosa, I have been in practice for over 20+ years.

I am passionate about helping and partnering with individuals to become the best, authentic version of themselves. I have over 20 years of experience providing therapeutic services, including working with adults, couples, and families, navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, relational issues, trauma, substance abuse, life transitions, self-esteem, domestic violence, LGBTQ+, parenting, and grief and loss. My approach is eclectic and versatile and adjusts to your needs to include various theoretical approaches. My goal is your goal. We will partner together, to get you, to where you, want to be.

I recognize that seeking therapy is a difficult decision, and I am proud of you for taking the first step! You have already accomplished a big task just by getting started! Sometimes we just need a neutral person to talk to, and I am honored to be that person for you. I have over 10 years of experience working with various populations; teens, at-risk youth, adults, parents/co-parenting, and families. My areas of focus are the following, although not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, Sexual abuse/trauma, Struggles with Sexual Identity, Stress & Burnout, Grief and Loss, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Self-Harm, and Coping Skills.

My approach is to lead with curiosity, compassion, and personal experience to help navigate, make sense, and explore new coping strategies and perspectives. The tools that once worked may no longer serve you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving your goals and because I believe effective therapy takes collaborative effort, we'll work together to discover and develop effective techniques specifically tailored for your needs. I intend to provide a safe and grounded space where you can process your vulnerabilities, build insight, solve problems, and achieve balance. I want to be a vehicle in helping you become unstuck.

Through experience and my own research, I have developed an integrated approach to therapy. I begin by providing education around symptoms as well as developing collaborative goals in order to reduce severity of symptoms.
