Therapists in Marin County, CA

There is a solution to the suffering! I am directional and empathic in my approach to working with clients. People come to me because they are wanting to make some personal changes in their lives and I facilitate this process. A safe and trusting environment is vital for this work and I create this early on with warmth and unconditional acceptance of all that is arising.

Are you feeling emotionally exhausted by your work as a healthcare or helping professional? Has the work you once felt called to do become a source of strain and stress in your life and relationships? You are not alone. You can't pour from an empty cup. Let's refill it.

I see clients in my Mill Valley office or on Zoom. Over 20 years experience supporting diverse people in creating more Passionate, Engaged and Deeply Meaningful lives. I help people become Happier, Calmer and more Empowered in the face of life's many changes. In a compassionate and accepting environment, I welcome all that is going on for you right now, and support you in transforming problematic situations and patterns (including addiction) into a healthier more fulfilling life. Sometimes a bit of unconditional support is what we need to work through difficulties and get to a better place.

I see adult individuals who would like to: feel empowered, self-compassionate and self-expressive, to know their heart's desires, and to overcome self-defeating thoughts, behaviors and anxiety. I see straight and queer couples who want to: learn new ways of relating to co-create secure and fulfilling attachment, to learn how to make effective repairs with each other, and to learn how to manage oneself and one's partner in the best way.

To live a happier and healthier life, starting therapy is a step in the right direction. Together, in therapy, we will explore the past and present and any obstacles getting in the way of achieving your current and future goals. It is important to have a safe space to reflect and verbalize changes that you would like to make and identify what you have learned about yourself and apply those lessons to your life moving forward. If you are looking for someone to be a sounding board, but also provide direct feedback and solution-focused tactics, then we could be a great match to work together in your therapeutic journey.

Therapy is most successful when the work is done carefully and thoughtfully through a process of unfolding and bringing into light those parts of ourselves which have been hidden or misunderstood. It's a collaboration that includes tapping into your own wisdom while also considering new perspectives. We do this work with the utmost compassion and consideration for what is needed in each moment to produce the best possible long term outcome. There will be many new insights which lead to more satisfaction and a deeper understanding. It's my privilege to work with you as we take these steps together toward a higher quality of life.

Are you feeling misunderstood in your relationships? Are you feeling anxious, irritated or depressed? Tired of having to explain yourself? Talking with an understanding therapist who will focus solely on you with a compassionate objectivity can really help. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors and relationship issues, and in helping to uncover and then overcome issues from the past that are still affecting thoughts and behavior in the present. I've been through many transitions, both planned and unplanned, throughout my life and have great compassion and skill in helping others come through them, too.

Are you worried about your child, teen or young adult but unsure how to help them? You can see something has changed in them: perhaps they seem depressed, anxious, or isolated in ways they didn’t used to be. You want them to learn skills to deal with life's challenges and resolve the issues that are holding them back. Because more than anything, you want to see your child thrive. My practice focuses on the unique needs of children 4+ through young adulthood and their families. I create developmentally appropriate, customized treatment plans using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, art and play therapy interventions.

I work with teens, individuals, couples, and families and I love being a therapist! Therapy can be a beautiful awakening to discovering parts of yourself that can be resourced for a fuller, deeper, and more meaningful life. When we take the time to sit down and journey within in a loving and intentional manner, stuck feelings can be freed, forgiveness can emerge, and healing can take place. I strive to aid in the unfolding of the inner experience where mental flexibility and fortitude flourish.

I work with people experiencing chronic anxiety that is eroding confidence, happiness, relationship quality, and fills your life with stress, doubt, and despair. I'll collaborate with you to create meaningful shifts in thought, feeling, action. My approach is short-term, evidenced-based, solution-focused and emphasizes Cognitive-Behavior Therapy. Our work together is designed to produce a solid understanding of your concern, identify core beliefs, key values, goals, and create innovative action plans to help you face fears, accept reasonable uncertainty, and deal effectively with anxiety so you move closer to the life you want.

In my experience, therapy can bring about real and lasting change. The therapeutic relationship is the key to that growth and change. The more you get to know and trust yourself, the better your relationships will be with others. I value listening carefully and working collaboratively with clients in a down-to-earth, gentle, and direct way. We look at how the past can influence the present and how current behaviors and feelings may interfere with having fulfilling, intimate relationships at home or at work.

Hello. I have been a licensed Clinical Psychologist for twenty-five years. With experience, training, and a deep sense of compassion, I provide a safe space for patients to share their most vulnerable feelings. I am an active participant in the treatment, and I believe that a therapeutic relationship must be based on trust and mutual respect. I believe that every client has a unique story to tell, and therapy is tailored to those needs. I provide trauma-based therapy, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-oriented psychotherapy. I treat adults, adolescents and families.

My style is collaborative, engaged and supportive. I will work with you to overcome depression, anxiety, substance abuse or relationship issues that are holding you back from leading a more fulfilling life. In individual work we will explore your past experiences and family of origin that may have brought you to hold on to many negative unconscious beliefs and behaviors that are leaving you unhappy or unsuccessful in both your work and intimate relationships. In couples work we will work to dismantle destructive communication patterns, learn new ways of reaching toward your partner and increase levels of true intimacy.

You may be seeking therapy because you want change in your life or perhaps you are dealing with a difficult situation. You will have my full focus and I will work to understand you and to learn what you need at this time. Research shows that therapy is much more effective if client and therapist have a strong connection. To facilitate this, I offer a complimentary 30 minute consultation so we can ensure working together feels right. I offer client-focused counseling for individuals, couples, teens and elders. I seek to understand you as a whole person and in relationship.
