Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Life can be challenging. Especially in this time of social distancing. It is not unusual to experience fear, confusion, depression and anxiety. It takes courage to admit that you need help and once you are able to admit that, you have taken the very important first step. The important thing is to find the correct person to talk through these issues with and I would like to be that person for you.

As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.

Many of my clients want to feel better- to change their situation- with the support of someone who understands what it is like to feel lost or invisible.

Clients who typically feel drawn to work with me tend to prefer a more action-oriented and present-focused approach to therapy. While developing self-understanding in therapy can be very powerful by itself, I like to try to empower my clients to use their insight to create concrete change in their lives. I also like working with clients who are interested in setting goals, willing to experiment with new behaviors and thinking patterns, and motivated to do homework between sessions.
