About Rhonda
Since 1992, I
have enjoyed working with individuals, couples and groups
in Marin and Sonoma Counties providing brief and long-term
psychotherapy, classes and workshops.
I finished my
undergraduate studies in 1981, receiving a B.A. in English
from University of California at Berkeley. After working in
the field of Journalism and Film Production, I continued my
studies at Dominican University receiving a M.S. in
Counseling Psychology in 1994. I am a member of the
National Honor Society in Psychology, the California
Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT), a
member of the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
International Association (EMDRIA), and a member of the
American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy
(AAMFT). Additionally, I am a Certified Integrative Yoga
Teacher, and a member of the International Association of
Yoga Therapists (IAYT).
The following are some
testimonials from various classes and workshops.
"Rhonda creates
an environment that encourages safe introspection, and
offers nsightful questions that remain with me long after
our meetings. Her questions are both anchors and
springboards, bringing me closer to myself while
simultaneously opening a vision to new perspectives." EM,
Retired Executive
“My yoga nidra experience with Rhonda has been a journey.
Already I have experienced so many twists and turns,
but so importantly; all the choices have been my own.
I feel complete safety with my guide. Her gentleness of
spirit and lyrical voice enable me to float and feel, touch
and see parts of myself that I have feared, dreaded or been
unable to visualize, all along knowing she will return
me to my rightful place, but just maybe, a little or at
times a lot, changed. I thank you." LK,Textile Artist and
Designer
“In my ongoing search to find relaxation methods, I joined
Rhonda’s yoga nidra sessions. Rhonda’s very calming,
soothing voice and knowledge of the practice allow me to
fully relax and go within. To feel this amazing sense of
relaxation and deep sense of spirit has truly been a joy
for me. I am deeply grateful to Rhonda for sharing her gift
with me and others.” VD, yoga student
“I leave each Yoga Nidra session better informed
about myself and often with some thought provoking
revelation that eventually provides additional
insight. Thank you Rhonda for deftly guiding these
discoveries. It's a wonderful practice.” PM,
Certified Massage Therapist
“Using Authentic
Movement as a tool
helped me to access emotions in a quick and deep manner. I
was able to process my issue and to put it simply...move it
through and out of my body. With Rhonda as witness I felt
safe and knew that I was supported at every turn.” -Yogini
“Rhonda has a number of skills in her ‘tool box’ and if you
experience her you will experience all she has to give. She
is a woman who shares and teaches from her heart and she
has a wonderful ability to help you find and come to
yours.” -Trice Bonney, Shamanic Practitioner & Yoga
Teacher
