Personal Statement

Effective psychotherapy does not simply analyze your problems, it helps you make permanent changes. I work in a supportive manner and tailor individual psychotherapy and marriage and couples counseling to your unique needs, background, and preferences. I offer a variety of approaches to help you let go of emotional suffering, create healthier communication and more intimacy in your marriage, family, and other relationships, and overcome what may be holding you back.

Things are not always what they seem. This fosters confusion, leaving members vulnerable. When confused, members seek solace in the aura of certainty the leader seems to possess.

Psychotherapy and couples & marriage counseling are powerful tools to improve relationships. This may include relationships with your partner, family members, or other significant people. It also includes your relationship with yourself. My 25 years' experience as a psychotherapist and marriage counselor in Marin has shown that when people begin to improve how they treat and view themselves, even in small ways, the benefits are enormous.

The goal of therapy is to help you have better relationships, including your relationship with yourself. Therapy is a forum for you to be seen and heard without judgment. My job as your therapist is to help you become more clear about what is best for you and to work with you to solve challenges so you can find greater contentment and self-acceptance.
