Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

I offer guidance and support to break free of harsh reoccurring experiences. If you suffer from couple's conflict, anxiety, depression, anger management or are experiencing life's transitions, you may think that you are lost in a hopeless battle against your own thoughts and feelings and are blocked from living your life fully.

Therapy should be an uplifting, inspiring and transformational experience!

I am also an EFT trainer for psychotherapists through the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology.

In my work with couples, the areas of upset often are a map, pointing us to possibilities of potential growth. Your difficulties can become a catalyst for increased intimacy. It's easy for any couple to get off track in efforts to communicate - slipping into blaming or power struggles, rather than your true communications, which can bring you closer and into deeper intimacy and trust. My job is to work together with you to help you develop skills that help reclaim happiness - communication skills, skills in understanding yourself and your partner, skills for building and rebuilding the life you want .

I have specialized training and experience in couples therapy. If you are stuck in a painfully destructive relationship pattern, I can help you. I have worked with couples for over 35 years. EFT, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, is by far the most effective way to work with relationship problems. EFT is one of the only empirically validated couples therapy approaches, and has been shown to out-perform all other modalities in follow-up studies, tracking couples after therapy has ended. EFT has dramatically increased my ability to help couples transform painful relationship patterns into deeply fulfilling and enduring bonds.

Do you feel overwhelmed with your moods and thoughts? Are sadness and loneliness taking up too much of your day?

But there is help out there. You don't have to go through this alone.

Quite often people are reluctant to admit to having problems. Life is difficult when your problems are long lasting and impair your ability to function adequately in the world ie at work, school or in the home. Life is difficult when you can't seem to maintain satisfying, safe relationships w/others. You may feel that there's something wrong with you or that you just aren't ever going to be able to have the kind of life you want. And it's not for lack of trying. Perhaps you just don't know what to do. All that you have tried to do seems to have failed and left you floundering, frustrated and feeling hopeless.

You deserve a compassionate therapist. Someone with whom you feel safe, secure and connected. Whether you are in college, a single parent, a busy professional, someone who has never experienced therapy before, please call for an initial consultation. My goal is to support you and guide you to live from your heart and authenticity.
