Find a Relationship and Marriage Counselor in San Rafael

Do you want to end the conflicts in your Marriage or partnership and build a connection of deep trust, connection and intimacy? Many couples are stuck in codependency and don't even know it! Their relationship feels a little numb, boring, uncomfortable... They are afraid to tell their partner the truth They feel alone within their relationship. The sex isn't what it once was or it has never been fulfilling.

Your relationships are suffering, work or school has become oppressive, being decisive is a challenge, and life, in general, feels scary. Low self-esteem, shame and disappointment, your inner critical voice are all working against you. But good for you for taking this first step towards regaining control over how you want to feel each and every day! It takes initiative and courage to change.

I am offering Psychotherapy, Life Coaching, and/or Counseling depending on the level and type of need presented by each client. I explain the differences between each domain and why they often overlap. I am engaging and validating toward my clients. I believe in the healing power of therapeutic relationships that are based on empathy.

Relationships can be the most rewarding, and the most frustrating, things in our lives. We want them. Well, we want the good parts. And when we are not getting the good, we think hey, maybe I am just better off on my own. But where does that leave us? Usually craving and wanting a relationship again. Love, communication, and intimacy are probably not the things you learned in school.
