Marin Individual Therapy / Counseling in San Rafael

There are a number of reasons you might be seeking individual therapy/counseling.  You’re likely experiencing some level of emotional distress – something just isn’t working for you.  

My individual therapy work with people is insight and awareness oriented – followed by change.  Whether it’s struggles around anxiety, depression, stress, anger or something other – I view everyone as a unique tapestry of life events and personal characteristics.  Part of my job is to carefully put together the pieces of the puzzle of who you are and where you come from as it relates to your current struggles.

Some of the areas in particular that I help people with are:

• anxiety
• depression
• stess management
• anger management
• family of origin wounds
• trauma
• life transitions
• perfectionism
• codependence
• unhealthy relationship patterns
• personal growth and development

The following are some of the basic goals of individual therapy I strive to help you achieve:

• Decrease your symptoms
• Learn effective management tools and coping skills
• Understand origins of the issues at hand 
• Evaluate and adjust any self defeating core beliefs related to how you view yourself and others
• Develop healthy boundaries between you and others
• Encourage long-term change in a way you can maintain on your own
