Individual Counseling in Marin County
I provide individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, grief, stress, or major life transitions such as divorce, job change, or becoming a parent. Many of my clients appear to be managing life well on the surface but feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of their direction underneath.
In our sessions, I draw from:
Emotionally Focused and Attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current experiences
Psychodynamic and object-relations approaches to uncover recurring emotional patterns
Somatic and mindfulness-based techniques to help regulate stress and reconnect with the body
Strength-based and client-centered humanistic work to foster confidence, self-compassion, and growth
Together, we’ll identify the underlying patterns that may be keeping you stuck and work toward a greater sense of ease, self-understanding, and emotional balance.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy in Marin County
For couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners move from conflict and distance to closeness and security. Many couples come to therapy feeling frustrated by repeated arguments or emotional disconnection. In our work together, we’ll identify the negative cycle that’s taken hold in your relationship and learn how to step out of it.
Through EFT, couples learn to:
Recognize and de-escalate reactive cycles of conflict
Express vulnerability and emotional needs more openly
Strengthen trust and deepen emotional connection
Whether you’re rebuilding after a rupture, preparing for marriage, or simply feeling out of sync, EFT offers a proven framework for creating a more secure and connected bond.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is informed by several therapeutic models, including:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attachment Theory & Therapy
Psychodynamic and Object Relations Theory
Trauma-Informed and Somatic Therapy
Mindfulness-Based and Compassion-Focused Therapy
Experiential, Interpersonal, and Narrative Approaches
I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that supports both insight and real-life change. My goal is to help you understand not just what you feel, but why you feel it, so you can move through challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Supporting Life Stage Transitions
I often work with clients who are moving through major life transitions. These may include:
Relationship changes or divorce
Career shifts or burnout
Becoming parents or navigating fertility challenges
Grieving a loss or caring for an aging parent
Adjusting to new roles or responsibilities
Life transitions can be disorienting, but they also hold potential for growth. Therapy can help you make sense of what’s changing and find new ways to approach yourself and others with understanding and compassion.
Supervision and Consultation
In addition to my clinical work, I provide supervision for Associate Marriage & Family Therapists (AMFTs) and consultation services for licensed therapists. I have served as both as an individual and group supervisor, offering guidance grounded in ethical practice, self-awareness, and attachment-informed work.
About Me
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (CA License #103218) and member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT). I received my M.A. in Counseling from Sonoma State University in 2005 and completed four additional years of post-graduate training at the Community Institute for Psychotherapy (CIP). Since becoming licensed in 2017 I have been in private practice in Marin County. In 2020 I started offering supervision and training to Associate Marriage and Fmaily Therapists (AMFTs) at CIP and in 2023 started offering supervisor trainings there as well. As a lifelong learner I participate in a weekly consultation group with colleagues and continuing education. In 2025 I became a member of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT) and completed externship and core skills training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I am also a member of the Northern California Chapter of Emotionally Focused Therapists (NCCEFT) where I serve on the Board as the Continuing Education (CE) Co-Chair. Whether serving as a clinician, supervisor, trainer, or consultant, my approach is warm, curious, and respectful of diverse identities and backgrounds.
