Family Counselor in San Anselmo, CA

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults, couples and adolescent girls. I offer a warm and compassionate presence and seek to help my clients find within themselves the life they are longing to live. I blend together the practices of mindfulness, the teachings and theories of Buddhist psychology, Existential-Humanism, Attachment, Somatic practices and Interpersonal Neurobiology.

I believe in the necessity of clients sharing their stories, their unique traumas and pains, their struggles and triumphs. I also believe that, at times, it is vital to set the stories aside, to be with what arises and to be open to that unknown wisdom or longing. For who would you be without that story?

As a family counselor, I work with clients of all ages whether individually or in a group. Through couples therapy, I aim to help couples resolve their issues and maintain their relationship. With teen therapy, I offer guidance to teen girls and give them an outlet to voice their problems and frustrations. Using pyschotherapy techniques, I strive to help each of my clients reach a level of personal peace and balance that allows them to live happily and healthfully.

Whether our time together is short-term and issue specific or extended and more broad-reaching, I will offer tools to help you become more responsive to your life. I will seek to help you strengthen your sense of agency, and identify areas of choice and freedom in your life. I will strive to help you find your place of true belonging in the world.
