Creative Psychotherapy
In Person Therapy - San Rafael, Marin County, CA. Telehealth throughout California
Are you looking for a compassionate, experienced therapist in San Rafael, California? Creative Psychotherapy Marin provides personalized, evidence-informed psychotherapy for adults, teens, couples, and older adults experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD, depression, trauma, grief and life transitions.
Just as trees weather storms and continue to grow, you, too, have the capacity to develop resilience, strengthen self-acceptance, and find greater emotional balance. I integrate traditional psychotherapy with creative, research-informed approaches to help you better understand your emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Whether you're struggling with persistent worry, overwhelming stress, intrusive thoughts, or relationship difficulties, I offer a nonjudgmental environment where meaningful change can begin.
Together, we can work toward reducing anxiety, strengthening emotional well-being, and creating a more fulfilling life.
My primary approach is evidence-based psychotherapy, grounded in established methods that support healing and psychological growth. At times, however, verbal expression alone may feel insufficient; in these moments, I thoughtfully integrate art therapy as an adjunctive modality. As a Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) with a PhD in Art Therapy, I bring specialized expertise in facilitating nonverbal forms of expression that allow clients to access underlying emotions, reduce anxiety, and develop insight through the creative process, particularly when experiences are difficult to articulate verbally.
““Emotions are like waves; they ebb and flow, they come and go. Accept your feelings without trying to hold onto the ones you want to keep or force away the ones you don’t want. Remember, peace always returns.””
