In Person Therapists in Petaluma, CA

Hello! Is your child or teen struggling? Are you a young adult looking for support? I specialize in helping children, teens and young adults get through tough times. Kids often have a harder time knowing when they need help. They may act out with eccentric behavior, or keep it all in, seeming suddenly sad and reserved. Young adults can often use a supportive space to open up about their own unique challenges. In therapy, we find tools to communicate what's hard and develop confidence and a strong sense of self along the way.

It takes so much strength and courage to reach out and ask for help; for yourself, your child or your family. I care deeply about creating a safe, trusting non judgemental space for you to be able to explore, reflect, have some relief and feel better. I believe in a fully collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy and will join you wherever you are in your journey. I specialize in working with children, teens and adults going through challenging/pivotal life transitions. I have a special passion for and expertise in providing care to women needing support with challenges related to parenting, pregnancy or postpartum.

I see therapy as an opportunity for self discovery, healing and a safe space to work our growing edges. My approach is holistic, mindfulness based and rooted in psycho-spiritual inquiry. I support my clients in discovering freedom from subconcious limiting beliefs and relational patterns to manifest the life they truly desire. Through a somatic (body-centered) approach, I support my clients in living a more empowered and embodied state of being.

We all deserve a space where we can be wholly and completely ourselves, and show up authentically without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. A place where we can find the courage to face the parts of ourselves that need compassion, care, and healing. And a space where we can celebrate the parts of ourselves that are already thriving. Therapy should be that space - honoring your strengths while addressing your areas of need. In my practice, I take an engaged, empathetic, warm approach with clients, creating a respectful and collaborative relationship so you can safely explore and heal the places where you are stuck.

Are you an adolescent or an adult struggling with codependency, shame, attachment issues? Do you gravitate to other things such as substances, unhealthy relationships, food, negative feedback loops? Is your goal is to increase self esteem, personal boundaries and overall mental health while doing so creatively and experientially? Are you interested in your dreams and what they are bringing forward to you? Maybe you crave more depth: the shadow, unconscious material?

I am a therapist who works with children, adolescents and adults. I believe in the unique complexity of each person’s life and aim to create a warm and supportive space where clients can navigate their stories and make decisions about how they want to author their lives.

As humans, we are interested in living meaningful and connected lives. And sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed, defeated, and confused about how to move forward. Our strategies may no longer be working for us or we face challenges we aren't sure how to navigate. Therapy can help us understand the ways we experience thoughts and emotions, develop effective ways of interacting with the world around us, and approach life more consistently with what we value. Having someone join us on our journey of growth and development can be a powerful experience particularly when they are trained to understand how people grow and change.

Welcome to my page. I have been in practice with a healthcare organization for past 16+ years servicing hundreds of families, adults, and child/adolescents in a variety of treatment methods. During this time, I've had the opportunity to practice and teach Narrative Therapy, Family Therapy, and Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT). I serve as the Regional Lead for Performance Excellence for Northern California where I help instruct, program plan, and develop curriculum for Northern California and nationally. FIT collaboratively centers the clients voice &values for treatment and tracks progress over time to meet their goals.

As humans, it is natural to experience periods of intense difficulty, particularly when feeling overwhelmed by competing demands or relationship patterns that are no longer effective. Therapy can be a resource to help navigate healthy and authentic relationships, restore life balance, calm anxious thoughts, and regain overall wellbeing. I believe that we teach others how to treat us, and that setting effective and graceful boundaries is an attainable goal. When emotions become overpowering, our tendency is to avoid them, yet they provide important information that can be used to inform and move toward the life you want to live.
