The relationship is crucial in therapy.
When provided well, therapy becomes one of the most valuable investments of your life, because it provides the foundation for creating a more peaceful and fulfilling existence. I believe we all have an innate ability to live a life of purpose. I am simply a guide to support you in arriving there. You will learn to communicate effectively and create a balanced life through shifting your engrained responses related to your experiences of trauma, relationships and biological aspects.

Do you want a more gratifying relationship? I work with couples to help them shift out of adversarial, polarized and/or disconnected states into more supportive, collaborative and connected experiences in relationship. Do you want a more fulfilling existence - one in which you feel freer, more empowered, more self-aligned? I work with individuals to help them more effectively address internal obstacles that interfere with greater vitality and well-being. Are you a parent simply looking for support to better deal with parenting challenges? I work with parents to develop helpful ways of nurturing their child's healthy development.

My focus is to support individuals, couples, and families on their journey to heal.
Welcome to the inner work! What happens in a therapy room, of course, has to do with the challenges one has brought, but also in raising a person's awareness about their powerful capacity to heal, navigate, and thrive in this world. I have 28 years of experience as a teacher, compassionate intuit, and psychotherapist which assists me strongly as a guide who can hold space for people from many different cultures, and walks of life, as they step into their truth.

I believe that whatever tools a therapist uses, they can only function well in the context of a deeply trusting relationship.
I work with individuals, couples, children, and families to support them with both personal and relational challenges. I work from a humanistic and behavioral framework with an eclectic methodology. I bring experience as both a psychotherapist and a special education teacher, and have worked with populations ranging from preschool to senior citizens including hospice.

I work with couples and individuals 13+.
Being a human is complex. While some times allow for us to experience joy, pleasure, and fulfillment, other times may leave us feeling stuck, entrenched in patterns, disconnected from ourselves and others, or find it challenging to navigate the obstacles ahead. My role is to support clients in deepening their understanding of how they got to where they are, process experiences that influence present day reactivity and relationship patterns, shed feelings of inadequacy, reclaim their sense of agency, and re-author the narratives that bind them to create room to lead a more meaningful, fulfilling and satisfying life.

I see psychotherapy as partnership, where therapist & client grow.
Most of us seek therapy in crisis: facing divorce, job loss, a cancer diagnosis, etc. This means danger and opportunity. The danger is shutting down (hiding your feelings) or "acting out" (fighting or seeking comfort in affairs, the internet, alcohol/drugs etc.). The opportunity is to learn new ways to connect deeply with yourself and those you love; to accept and express your deepest feelings and needs; and to hear others' feelings with openness. You can create your life anew and authentically. I know this road personally. And I welcome you, as you share your journey from crisis to growth.

In my relationship therapy work with couples, the focus is teaching couples deep listening skills in an attempt to help partners feel truly "seen" and "known".
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.

Willow Tree Counseling’s therapists are trained in sex addiction and betrayal partner trauma.
Sex addiction impacts the addict and their partner. Sex addicts may experience preoccupation with sexual thoughts, hide sexual behaviors or activity from others, have sought help for problematic sexual behaviors, feel controlled by their sexual desire, feel depressed after sexual behavior, or notice others have suffered due to their sexual behavior? Partners of sex addicts may experience shock, intense anger, fear, and/or pain about their partner’s sexual behaviors, experience unexpected drops in sexual interest, feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster, or notice that past trauma keeps coming back and impacting them.

Feeling supported in a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship can be healing, transformative, and a strong platform from which to build other healthy relationships.
Are you tired of walking on eggshells in your relationship? Do you feel guilty when you say "yes" to your needs and "no" to others? Do you find yourself in the same type of unsatisfying and sometimes emotionally or verbally abusive relationship? Repeating the same self-defeating patterns leads to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. You may be your own worst enemy, but the good news is: we can't change anybody but ourselves. Together we'll explore your beliefs, feelings and behavior patterns that keep you stuck in resentment, unhappiness, and fear.

People look for a therapist with questions in their mind, heart and/or spirit. The questions might be something like: How did I end up in this same situation again? How can I get rid of this depression? Anxiety? Addiction? Anger? How can I make my relationship/marriage healthier? How can I have better boundaries? How can I feel better, feel better about myself, and feel better about my life? What is going on with me? What's it going to take for me to stop acting out these patterns? How do I understand my past and heal from it? How can I break through and be the best self I know in my heart I can be?

In individual therapy, we work towards helping you to understand what is blocking your path and cultivate a greater connection with your inner source of wisdom - this often takes the form of "parts work" (IFS); and in my couples work - a greater connection with each other.
Life can be difficult. You don't have to go it alone. My approach is engaged and practical, with the goal of meeting you where you are. My work is grounded in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation for therapeutic change. With couples, I incorporate the work of IFS - Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), EFT, and The Gottman Institute. Prior to working as a therapist I enjoyed an extensive career in the business world. In Sonoma County since 1993, I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology and a BS in Business Administration. Grounded. Collaborative. Creative. Respectful.
