About Me

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Rafael, California, with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate complex life challenges and achieve greater fulfillment. With over two decades of experience, I utilize a mindful and compassionate approach to guide you towards deeper self-understanding, improved relationships, and lasting personal growth.

My Approach

My therapeutic style blends mindfulness with a holistic and experiential approach. I believe the key to lasting change lies in exploring the interplay of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Through gentle guidance and tailored exercises, you'll learn to:

• Discover the underlying thought patterns and beliefs that shape your experiences.
• Develop effective coping skills to manage anxiety, worry, and depression.
• Cultivate healthy and fulfilling relationships based on trust and vulnerability.
• Heal from past trauma and embrace a greater sense of peace and inner peace.
• Connect with your creative potential and rediscover your sense of purpose.

What I Can Help With

I have extensive experience in supporting clients with a wide range of concerns, including:

• Intimacy and Trust Issues: Strengthening communication and fostering deeper connection
• Relationship Distress: Balancing power dynamics, resolving conflict, and fostering harmony
• Loss and Grief: Healing from heartbreak, betrayal, and traumatic experiences
• Anxiety and Depression: Developing mindfulness and coping mechanisms
• Personal Growth: Uncovering your potential and living a more fulfilling life
• Communication Concerns: Improving active listening and effective communication skills

Beyond Traditional Therapy

My therapeutic approach extends beyond traditional talk therapy. I incorporate contemplative practices, creative exploration, and body-awareness techniques to facilitate personal transformation. I believe in the power of art, movement, and the human connection to the natural world to foster healing and growth.
