Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy for women, teens, and children
I offer individual psychotherapy in person in Larkspur, California and online throughout the state, for women, teens, and children in Marin County and the wider San Francisco Bay Area. Sessions are conversation-based, with expressive arts and somatic awareness available as gentle supports.
What I help with
- Emotional overwhelm or sensitivity
- Anxiety and stress
- Difficulty expressing feelings or needs
- Feeling disconnected from one's voice
- Identity confusion or transition periods
- Feeling "too much" or "not enough"
What sessions look like
Sessions begin with conversation and follow what feels most important in the moment. There is no set agenda you need to keep up with.
Alongside talking therapy, expressive arts approaches may be used — gently, and only when they support deeper understanding.
Imagery and imagination
Images and inner scenes often carry meaning that description misses.
Movement or embodied awareness
Noticing breath, posture, and sensation as part of understanding.
Storytelling or symbolic exploration
Working with metaphor and narrative to make sense of experience.
Who I work with
Women
Space for women who feel deeply, carry a lot, or have lost touch with their own voice. We work with emotional overwhelm, anxiety, self-expression, and periods of transition — at your pace, in a relationship where you do not have to perform.
Teens
Therapy for teenagers navigating stress, sensitivity, and questions of identity. Methods are adapted to be age-appropriate, and parents are generally involved in a way that respects the teen's privacy and is discussed together at the start.
Children
With children, expression often happens through drawing, play, imagery, and movement rather than direct conversation. Methods are age-appropriate, and parents are generally involved in the process.
What you can expect
A grounded, relational, steady space. I am not here to hurry you toward conclusions or to hand you a program to complete. We work at your pace.
Over time, many people notice more clarity, a greater ability to regulate emotion, and a stronger connection to their own inner voice.
