If your middle name is “Too Much,” “Not Enough,” “Out of Control” or “Unloveable” I’ve got you. I support folks who are up in their heads, struggling with self-trust and self-love. Having an unbalanced body and brain due to trauma, disordered eating, relational betrayal, andor neurodivergence can cause a lot of pain but that doesn’t have to be you. Using somatic, expressive arts, and traditional forms of therapy, I help people overcome feeling overwhelmed for more safety and satisfaction. As a neurodivergent, sexual trauma survivor, I understand the rawness and resilience of being human. My clients describe me as warm, curious, and affirming, with a dash of humor. Being deeply attuned to my clients is very important to me. I'm passionate about helping clients discover their inherent gifts and resources. If you're looking for a guide who can simultaneously hold and push you, I could be the therapist for you. I look forward to connecting!

In a safe, confidential environment I help you examine those aspects of life that are not working for you and assists you in developing your own solutions to those problems. I have listened to clients over 45.000 hour since I started my private practice and I am known for my ability to uncover core issues rapidly and help you generate breakthroughs with sustainable results. My direct approach allows you to make the necessary changes in your life within a short period of time. I am very interactive and I share my thoughts with you as we work together. I will point to books, podcasts and videos that may speed up your self discovery process.

We seek psychotherapy for all kinds of reasons, commonly from a deep wanting for something to be different, for something to change. My goal is to help lift the veil of what is not working in your life by bringing you closer to yourself, your loved ones, and creating a path to a life you want, like, and feel that you are choosing. Clients who gravitate toward me as a therapist tend to share a desire to know themselves with greater depth and kindness. I offer the opportunity to make connections between what has happened in the past and the impact on the present, while also consistently highlighting strengths and what is working well. These skills can assist us in weathering issues like anxiety, depression, addiction and co-dependency, chronic illness, and challenging or fractured relationships. My presence can be described as curious, interactive, collaborative, and authentic. At times I will bring humor, at times challenging insights and feedback. And while I will always be a FOMO anarchist, challenging us to slow down rather than rush, I will show up with humility and respect for each individual’s pace, process, and needs. I meet people with allyship, with particular sensitivity to identities and populations that are systemically disallowed from taking up the same amount of space and value as others. My primary therapeutic orientations are relationalhumanistic, strength-based, and internal family systems. I look forward to hearing from you for a free consultation so you can decide whether I may be a place of safety and support for you.

Whatever has brought you here, I've no doubt it's an opportunity to create something better. I can help you release old, painful patterns that go nowhere, so you can find the freedom to move forward with what matters most to you. You will find me to be an enthusiastic catalyst for you to be a game changer in your own life! You can rely on my 35 plus years of experience and my genuine, playful, compassionate and generous presence. You will get gentle and clear, inspiring feedback. Your concerns will be heard as you experience me actively engaged with what is most in your mind and heart. Whatever you bring, however broken you might feel, I see you as whole, no matter what you are dealing with. Our collaboration will invite new, enlivening choices for you. We'll work as collaborators for your best evolution.

I provide integrative, trauma-informed therapy for adults, with a focus on supporting women, trauma survivors, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) clients. My approach blends evidence-based and experiential methods, helping you reconnect with your body, mind, and inner wisdom so you can live a more empowered, authentic, and resilient life. I specialize in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic therapy, expressive arts, internal family systems (IFS) parts work, and expanded-state integration support (including preparation and integration for legal, ethical experiences, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy). Through these modalities, I help clients process trauma, regulate the nervous system, and access deeper insight and healing beyond talk therapy alone. In our work together, you can expect a warm, collaborative, and culturally attuned approach. I honor each person’s ancestry, identity, and unique life story while offering practical guidance, playful curiosity, and grounded support. My goal is to help you navigate emotional patterns, grief, anxiety, and spiritual or life transitions with courage, clarity, and self-compassion. I offer therapy in person in San Rafael (Marin County) and Sebastopol (Sonoma County), and online throughout California, with bilingual support in English and Spanish. If you’re ready to reconnect with your wholeness and explore meaningful change, I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey.

Hello! My name is Craig, and I am a licensed psychotherapist (10 years), transformational life coach, and spiritual teacher. I have been studying and practicing various forms of Western psychology, Eastern spirituality, and meditation for 20 years. I have a psychotherapy practice in Sebastopol, California, offering life, relationship, career, and spiritual guidance to individuals and couples. I see clients both in person and online. My approach to psychotherapy is transformative and holistic, with an emphasis on the integration of mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in treating stress, anxiety, and depression naturally by using a combination of talk therapy, mindfulness, meditation, and somatic (body-oriented) therapy. The foundation of my work is a therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, acceptance, understanding, and compassion. My approach is influenced by transpersonal and existential psychology, which incorporates the spiritual dimension of ourselves and explores meaning and purpose in our lives. Within this specialty, I can help you identify how diet, exercise, and spiritual practice can improve health and well-being, and bring balance to your life. I look forward to working with you!

Is life challenging you beyond your current resources? Whatever is blocking you from experiencing inner peace, being all you can be, or having the relationships you desire, I invite you to come gain new insights, tools, and strategies to help you create the life you desire. I draw on my life experience, professional training, and intuitive guidance in creating a personalized approach to best serve you. I have been trained as a clinical psychologist, behavior specialist, flower essence practitioner, and hypnotherapist. I use both traditional science-based strategies, and complementary approaches. Unlike practitioners who limit themselves to technique-based talk therapy, I customize my work to best fit the needs of each unique client.

I passionately believe in your inherent worth, and I believe you have the tools needed to make the changes you want in your life. My goal is to walk beside you on your journey and collaborate with you on where you want to go, what you want to do, and how you wish to cultivate your own experience. I believe good therapy stems from non-judgment and acceptance. Come as you are, and know that however you show up, that is ok. We often go through life with worry, fear, sadness, self-blame, and insecurity. We feel as though we need to change, or that we aren’t good enough, and we don’t know where to start. My job is to support you in living and feeling the way you want to and help you find self-acceptance along the way. I am honored and privileged to bear witness to the stories, experiences, and challenges that shape who you are as a person. People of all genders, sexualities, races, sizes, and abilities are welcome in my practice. Recognizing and acknowledging my privilege and how it shows up in relationships, personal and professional, is of great importance to me.

Deciding to find a therapist is a great step in creating the life you want to be living. Painful emotions and life stressors, anxiety and depression, and the daily challenges of living in the modern world can become roadblocks and I am a therapist who is engaged, active and compassionate and want to help you to overcome whatever may be standing in your way. I provide psychotherapy and counseling to people struggling in relationships of all kinds - even the relationship we have with ourselves. I work with couples, families, adults and teens and even business partners. Healthy and flexible relationships are an integral part of our sense of happiness and well-being. Let's work together to figure out how to make the most of the life you are living and to have vibrant and thriving relationships as well!

Are you a woman who feels like something's missing in your life or in you? Maybe you're dealing with stress, worry, anxiety, depression, grief or low self-esteem. Or maybe you need support during a life transition. Whatever you're experiencing, it is possible to move away from feeling stuck, overwhelmed and uncertain and move towards self understanding and self compassion. Working together, we’ll identify ways to help you feel better immediately. We'll also dive into deeper life themes. The result: Aha moments, healing, hope and forward movement. Wherever you are on your journey, I’ll meet you there. You don't have to get through this alone. In fact you can contact me for a free 30 minute consultation to explore whether working together feels like a good fit for you.

I believe that each person carries within them the potential for growth and wholeness. There are many experiences in life that may impede this natural capacity, causing people to get stuck in patterns that, while originally created to help the person survive, may currently be hindering their ability to thrive and find satisfaction in their lives. My job as therapist is to help people become aware of patterns that no longer serve them, get in touch with the resources they currently have, and identify and build resources they need to develop in order to have more choices available within themselves. I hold a deeply respectful, collaborative space for inner exploration and draw from the fields of client centered, somatic and mindfulness based approaches.

Humanistic Psychology is based on a positive view of the psyche, and mental illness is often seen as a call from the psyche to pay attention, to become more mindful, and to be willing to listen to your own heart's desire to change and to heal. I profoundly enjoy working with people in an accepting and non-judgmental way that helps them actualize their potentials for healing and for being the very best that they can be. I work with people to "wipe the fog off of the mirror of self-reflection" as they learn to see themselves more clearly. As your psychotherapy proceeds, we work to create a safe relationship through which you can experience unknown or even feared aspects of your personality. We explore possible adjustments in your behaviors, habits, thinking, and emotional processing to improve your life, increase happiness and self-efficacy, and deepen self-love; and we will explore how you can make these changes.
