Are you feeling lost or overwhelmed? Anxious? Insecure or angry?  Does it seem like your relationship just stays stuck in cycles of negativity? Therapy is a personal discovery process that can help you work through old patterns that are no longer working for you.  We all get stuck at times in ways of being with ourselves and others that seems counter-productive at a minimum and sometimes downright damaging.  I know it can be hard to admit that you want or need help and I also know that it is a powerful thing to do that takes courage.  My particular style of therapy is suited for people who are needing more tools, who are seeking more self-knowledge, wanting more clarity and insight about their lives and are ready to look at who they are and how they are with others.  I’m here to offer guidance and nonjudgmental support, to ask questions and offer feedback and suggestions around what I see and hear.  I will offer new ways of handling difficult emotions and situations and I will challenge you and support you in being more aligned with who you want to be in your life and in your relationships.  I can help you work through past hurts that keep you stuck and help you get closer to yourself and what’s true for you.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Santa Rosa.  I have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies and I have been practicing since 2005. 

My clinical experience includes internships at the Center for Somatic Psychotherapy in San Francisco and the Lomi Psychotherapy Clinic in Santa Rosa as well as California Parenting Institute, where I worked with children and their parents.  I also have experience working with adults with severe mental illness in supportive living through Buckelew Programs.
