Psychotherapy for Adults
People often come to therapy when familiar ways of coping or relating no longer feel sustainable.
I work with adults seeking depth-oriented therapy that allows space for both reflection and real change. My practice supports individuals navigating anxiety, grief, relational challenges, life transitions, and periods of change or uncertainty. I offer psychotherapy for adults throughout Marin County and San Francisco, with telehealth sessions as well as in-person therapy in my Sausalito office.
Over time, we develop ways of relating to ourselves and others that once made sense but can begin to feel limiting or out of alignment. You may notice patterns in relationships that leave you feeling unseen or emotionally disconnected, or find yourself stuck in anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional reactions that are difficult to fully understand. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and begin paying closer attention to what is happening in thoughts, emotions, and in the body. Together, we work to better understand the underlying patterns shaping your experience while also creating space for something new to emerge.
My approach is grounded in a relational psychodynamic perspective and is trauma-informed, with attention to how emotional experience lives not only in thought but in the nervous system. Alongside traditional talk therapy, I integrate somatic awareness and draw from Somatic Experiencing®, a body-oriented approach that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and a deeper connection to yourself.
Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in genuine human connection. Clients often find relief in simply having space to explore openly without pressure, while also being met with honesty, curiosity and careful reflection.
Over time, this work can lead to feeling less reactive, more connected to yourself and others, and more able to respond to difficult experiences without falling into the same automatic patterns. Sometimes change shows up in unexpected ways: feeling more grounded, relating differently in familiar situations, a capacity to tolerate challenging emotions or having a greater sense of choice in how you move through your life.
Therapy can be helpful for experiences such as:
depression
anxiety
relationship difficulties
unresolved trauma
grief and loss
self-esteem concerns
feeling stuck or uncertain
life transitions (including later-life transitions)
