For 20 years I have working as a marriage and family therapist in Contra Costa County. I now have an office in Walnut Creek, near the border of Lafayette, right next to Highway 24.
We all live and work in relationship with others Human beings are infinitely complex and interesting. When difficulties arise in our lives, it can be very helpful to have the focused attention of a helpful, therapeutic person – a co-traveler in life’s travails. This is psychotherapy. As a psychotherapist, I have seen the benefits of focused, healing attention on relationships, both with my patients and in my personal life. Therapeutic attention can help you produce change in your life – step by step, or drop by drop – like water wearing away a stone. I believe in it wholeheartedly. People heal themselves, and they do so in relationship – in relationship with their loved ones and friends and in relationship with their counselor.
