In Person Therapists in Glen Ellen, CA
What I believe as a psychologist is that insight and change come from understanding our roots. Total Context Therapy is a psychodynamically informed dialogue where we untangle the roots of who you are and how you want to be. In the process, you will practice a new way of thinking through your difficulties, and attain assertiveness skills, along with progressive movement.

Effective therapy begins with trust, resonance, and respect. This allows individuals and couples to explore personal issues and to express real emotions. I take a kind, common-sense approach as I help people to confront problems, discover insights, and develop solutions -- all of which lead to lasting change. My work is deep, compassionate, and supportive so that you may clarify goals, rediscover feelings, work through pain, and reclaim your life. Please call me at (707) 996-9434 for a phone consultation.

Welcome. If you are feeling lost, struggling, overwhelmed or currently facing a painfully difficult time, I can help. Experiencing emotional pain and struggling with life issues are part of the process of living. Yet, when we find ourselves stuck in patterns, situations, or relationships that continue to be painful, we ask “Why can’t things be better?” or “What is wrong with me?” and eventually “Can I ever feel happy?” Often these are the issues that propel us to seek therapy. Emotional pain can show up as anger, fear, grief, confusion, anxiety, exhaustion, procrastination, etc. I believe, for change to occur, safety, empathy and respect are essential. I have come to experience an increasing sense of sacredness about our work together. It often takes courage to walk through the therapist’s door for the first time. As healing begins, I am reminded of the resiliency and courage of the human spirit.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with life, incongruent with who you are and who you want to be, have doubts about your ability to change that which you want to change, transition from a known place to the unknown…. Sometimes you just need someone to talk with and sort out your thoughts and feelings. Someone to help you better understand what motivates or hinders you. Someone who will teach you new skills to manage the feelings that seem unmanageable, or behavior that no longer serves you.

Like many people, you may be feeling sad, anxious or alone. These feelings can be overwhelming. You may be struggling with self-esteem, relationship challenges, or a general lack of fulfillment. You want to feel better, but where do you start?

Many of us experience enough stressful events in our family, personal, and work lives that we can easily get lost in how best to understand them, feel about them, and respond to them. Clients who are wanting to feel better by thinking more clearly, finding a more positive focus, and noticing a change in how they think about the stressors in their lives find they, then, can feel calmer, and breathe easily. And clients who want to experience their personal and work relationships improve and become more cooperative are the ones who notice how more resilient they can become .

I have been in the field of psychology since 1985. I am licensed as Marriage Family Therapist (1989) and Clinical Psychologist (1992).What guides my work is the belief that everyone, no matter their behavior, is doing the very best they can in that moment. Most often, aberrant behavior is the result of beliefs learned in childhood that are brought forward into adulthood which are no longer appropriate or functional.

Many people come to me with prior experiences of therapy that were not helpful. This happens for many reasons but sometimes it's as simple as it wasn't the right fit. A wise mentor explained that "all human growth and healing takes place in the context of relationship, from infancy on". Therapy is a relationship of growth, change, healing. Many people are driven to therapy because of suffering in current or past relationship. Often the most challenging and hurtful relationship we have is the one with one's self. The "right" therapist is one that makes moving through this vulnerable process possible and bearable.
