Marriage Or Relationship Counselor Santa Rosa Near Me

4worldlovers: Clients and colleagues describe me as a warm, compassionate and wise psychotherapist. I am committed to providing the highest level of counseling to the North Bay area. I am often a good fit for clients who want to integrate a spiritual perspective into working on the issues they bring to counseling. By “spiritual” I mean striving towards “being” your whole and complete authentic self, to live connected to that self, committed to growing, evolving and finding deep purpose, forgiving oneself and others, seeing the sacred in the ordinary, and having a daily practice that keeps personal growth going long after counseling concludes. The foundation of our work together is the practice of transforming suffering into wisdom.

I bring 15+ years experience helping couples, adults, teens and families. Therapy is an inner journey of self-exploration, self-acceptance, and self-expression. Together we co-create and celebrate your process as you move towards a compassionate acceptance of where you’ve been and create the vision of where you are going.

I offer a wide variety of transformational tools and psychotherapy orientations to move you forward. My training/orientation draws on spiritual traditions, somatic practices, creative arts, mythology and indigenous wisdom. I utilize techniques from the most effective cutting edge psychotherapies, the most recent findings of cognitive/affective neuroscience, and accessible practices of coaching, mindfulness, expressive arts, and energy psychology.

I look forward to your unique story unfolding as you step fully into the life you envision and deserve. Together we will carefully tailor your individualized plan and utilize the most effective and well researched therapy tools available. I find great joy in helping to change lives and bringing healing to those in need. I am happy to discuss a sliding fee scale to those who need this.
