About
Makhetsi
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Corte Madera, CA. I approach my work with warmth, compassion, and understanding. I strive to create an environment for you that is safe, accepting, and free of judgement. I believe that the purpose of therapy is to learn more about ourselves by expressing ourselves openly and honestly. This can help us create new ways of dealing with life's challenges and being in relationships. When people commit to therapy, they can find that they have a better understanding of themselves and that they feel more resilient and empowered in their lives. This naturally leads people to make positive changes.
​
My work is relational and psychoanalytic. This means that I utilize a wide variety of interventions that are simply informed by a relational psychoanalytic way of thinking. I believe the things we think, feel, and do have some kind of meaning that we may sometimes misunderstand. I consider the role of your past experiences and work with conscious and unconscious material that arises to make meaning out of your experiences in an effort to connect you to your self more fully. I listen closely to what you say and ask questions to help both of us better understand your experiences. I believe that the relationship you and I will forge will also bring new insights into your life and your relationships with others and your self. This approach allows many to experience naturally lasting changes in their lives in addition to symptom reduction.

I offer support to families who find themselves out of balance. I provide support to parents and families of all types and stages. From the birth of a newborn to the unique obstacles of adolescence, transitions pose a challenge in every family. I listen closely and thoughtfully to each family member to figure out what gets in the way of effective communication and connection.
03.
Intimate relationships are complex. When two people come together, they bring their unique histories and patterns. While all relationships face challenges, you may find your struggles have become unmanageable on your own. Together, we can work to find what patterns negatively impact your relationship that may be outside of your awareness.
