Find a Therapist in Half Moon Bay, California.

Finding a therapist that you connect with can be a daunting task. Making connections is one of my strengths. I have the utmost respect for each person seeking therapy and for the therapeutic process itself. Whether you are struggling, going through a transition, or looking to better understand your inner world our work can help you achieve new levels of awareness. My style is warm and non-judgmental. We can work together to uncover and understand how your unique individual life experiences shape how you feel and live. Together we can strive to make meaning, increase awareness, and minimize suffering.

I provide brief solutions-focused psychotherapy to help clients assess personal and professional functioning, clarify goals, and strengthen social and emotional skills. I specialize in brief online relationship counseling. Online counseling allows clients to seek help as needed, engage in therapy at a schedule that's convenient to them, and keep their counselor as they progress through life. I work with LGBTQ and hetero clients on individual, couple, and alternative relationship concerns. Clients explore issues that impact their professional and personal relationships, including communication, power dynamics, and intimacy. I accept US$ and cryptocurrencies.

You will gain more self awareness and practical skills to manage your life better. Whatever your concern, it becomes a vehicle for you to understand and transform outdated thinking and ways of being that may no longer serve you . We will explore the opportunities inherent in your life's circumstances and look for ways for you to be happier, healthier, more confident, and connected. You will discover and learn about yourself, and develop new skills that will help you in all areas of your life.

Sometimes we need a little help from a trained professional to get ourselves back on track and attain clarity of thought. This is not a sign of weakness of character, but a humble trait of humanity that most of us experience at one time or another. The most fulfilled people in life are those who consistently look for tools and skills to use in the face of life's day to day challenges. Its not about how heavy the burden is, but how you carry the load. I can help you focus your attention and intention so that you are leading a life which brings you joy and contentment.

I believe that humans are naturally oriented towards growth, development, and inner fulfillment. If you are feeling stuck in one or several areas in your life, I am here to help. I specialize in helping people overcome relationship problems, manage stress and anxiety, relieve depression, effectively move through life transitions, identify life goals and develop a plan for carrying them out, improve self-esteem and self-concept, heal from painful or traumatic life experiences, and come to know and understand themselves more fully. My approach integrates several leading-edge techniques including mindfulness, relational work, emotion-focused therapy, and depth psychology.

Having practiced psychotherapy for almost 30 years, I offer a very broad spectrum of skills, techniques and approaches. At the core I tend to combine creative intuition, compassion and completely non-judgemental openness with being very pragmatic and pro-active. I find that this combination allows me to help "un-knot" any stuckness a client shows up with. For more information about the way I practice, see my sites marriagemastery.com or marincouplecounseling.com or read my book The Heart of Relationship.

My style of psychotherapy is about helping clients increase their Emotional Intelligence, which means having greater self awareness and ability to manage one's own feelings and reactions while in the presence of others and their feelings and reactions. I combine Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Body Awareness Practices, Eye Movement Desensitization Repossessing to help process past hurts, with Mindfulness Practices to help clients know themselves more deeply and be more connected to themselves. When people can have greater intimacy with themselves, they can have greater intimacy with others.

I work with you to get gradually deeper inside whatever issues are troubling you. At your own pace, using techniques that are comfortable to you, we get to the feelings, beliefs about yourself or others, that underlie problem situations at work or in relationship. We identify if childhood issues or current traumas are causing symptoms, and together choose from a range of techniques for working them through. We build a relationship of trust that enables you to risk opening up with me, being honest with me, and using my support.

I have been working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for the last 17 years. I began my training as a psychotherapy intern while working at the AIDS Health Project of UCSF in San Francisco. I learned Brief Therapy techniques but also now provide long term psychotherapy for people wanting to do longer term work. I believe people enter psychotherapy for different reasons-sometimes to lower distressful symptoms they are experiencing. Other people want to examine issues from childhood that may have recently surfaced. Some are dealing with relationship issues. And still others want to gain a sense of awareness and insight- I have so often heard "I want to know myself better."

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unmotivated, easily triggered, or a lack of vitality? If you're reading this you may desire relief from these or other symptoms. The good news is that each one of us has an innate capacity for growth, integration, and healing. I offer empathic, nonjudgmental and non-pathologizing support and guidance. Together we can awaken resources needed and develop new ones as wounds and defenses loosen their grip, symptoms are alleviated, and you begin to feel more ease and joy in your daily life.

Are you having trouble finding constructive ways to deal with problems or issues in your life? Are those problems or issues causing you a great deal of pain that persists for more than a few days? For most people, psychotherapy can be extremely helpful when one is grappling with a life, relationship or work issue, or a specific mental health concern. With over 26 years of experience, I offer a collaborative psychotherapy that is pragmatic, problem-solving and goal-oriented. If you have a strong desire to change and are willing to alter those aspects of your life that are no longer working for you, psychotherapy with a skilled and experienced psychotherapist will enhance your life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client in which you will gain insight into your inner truth and engage your own innate healing capacity. Together we will explore and honor the amazing inner landscape that makes you uniquely you. If past trauma or difficult childhood experiences are impacting your life today, I can help you transcend your past and engage more joyfully in your present life. I offer a safe, respectful, compassionate place to discover and resolve whatever is holding you back from the authentic life you so want and deserve.
