Marriage and Family Therapist in San Francisco
I have worked in the Bay Area for seven years with
children 3-12 years old, parents, and individuals
I have worked with parents who tell me their children are struggling with social or academic problems at school, having issues managing their anger, or their child's behavior has changed for the worse after a major (or seemingly minor) transition in their lives. Many parents also express that they want to feel closer with their children, but all the conflicts that arise with behavioral problems and non-compliance get in the way of the sweet moments. By empathic listening and creative expressive arts interventions in a safe environment, I can support your child explore his or her unfolding sense of self. I also have great compassion for your needs as a parent, and support you with tools to use outside of the sessions together.
Many of the individuals I have worked with feel frustrated with re-emerging themes, unsure about the next steps and would like to be more aligned with their inner longings for a fulfilled life. Other people tell me that they feel stuck in their relationships and although they may understand their pattern on one level, they want to grasp what's going on under the surface for a new perspective in order for more satisfying intimate partnerships.
I have witnessed people keeping so busy working on their external lives that they stop listening to the longings of their soul and want support reconnecting to those desires. I can help you by attending and listening to your deep need to reconnect with your wholeness, using gentle inquiry to identify aspects of core issues and by inviting you to be present for what's arising in the here and now.
