I work with couples who want a stronger partnership or need relational tools, and with people who feel disconnected or want a deeper connection with themselves or others. I am Kristel Grodeska, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Rafael, California, and I also work with trauma that is sexual or relational.
I also support people seeking emotional resilience, relationship skills, a greater capacity for intimacy or help with growth challenges. Somatic psychotherapy and Formative Psychology form the base of my practice, which is experiential, relational and creative. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to rebuild resources, to establish safety in areas that feel difficult, and to take trauma work to resolution.
Sessions are warm and engaging, and I build them together with each client.
