​Counseling for Individuals and Families
Serving Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin and Tracy

​Life can bring many satisfactions and joys and wisdom with the years.

Life can also bring challenges as we get older, face chronic health problems or experience the transitions of retirement and other adjustments to age.

Maybe you are ready to address those challenges so you can get back more enjoyment of your life.
​Finding the right therapist can be an important step.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in practice in Livermore, California.

Here are some ways therapy can help:

• Most importantly, I provide a safe, confidential, encouraging place to explore what's going on in your life with the respect and freedom from judgement that you deserve.
• Figuring out just what you are feeling is a good start. So is understanding that your feelings are probably typical and understandable for your situation. And it is important to understand that you have the choice to not stay stuck in those feelings.
• We determine where you have some control to change and improve your situation and your emotional state and we identify the practical steps to do so.
• As well, we determine where there may be new limitations to your life and how to come to terms with accepting those changes.
• Feelings of anxiety, anger, overwhelm or depression sometimes accompany age and health changes. We find ways to modify the thought and belief patterns that can lead to suffering unnecessary distress.
• Therapy maintains a focus on your own lifelong strengths and abilities and how to use them to get and maintain more of what you want in life now.
• Retirement, age and health related changes can impact relationships. Couples and families can restore a satisfying balance and work together to face challenges.
• Family members may benefit from support in dealing with the changes faced by parents or other family members.
