Psychotherapy for Individuals & Couples

As a licensed marriage and family therapist with a private practice in San Rafael, I enjoy working with groups, couples and individuals who want to deepen their understanding of themselves, change unhealthy patterns, and live life in a full and healthy way. It takes great courage to call a stranger to ask for help, and I respect and admire anyone who takes this step. My style is warm, collaborative and active -- together we create a safe environment to work on whatever it is you want to change, improve, or just talk about with a nonjudgmental person. My training includes both brief solution focused therapy as well as depth psychotherapy. To schedule an appointment or speak with me directly, please call 415-419-3565.
