Family Systems Therapists in 89450

Hello and thank you for coming to my website. I offer Telehealth in CA, NV HI and OR. My goal is to help people achieve a state of feeling less plagued by anxiety and depression, calmer, less plagued by negative thinking, less triggered, less encumbered by overwhelming emotions and more hopeful of achieving their dreams. I accept insurance through Headway Behavioral Health. I can send you a link from Headway to schedule an initial consultation using your insurance or cash pay. I do not provide free consultations. For cash clients, initial consultations are 20 minutes for a fee of $30.

With over 40 years experience working with families, couples, and individuals, I have in-depth knowledge about strengthening relationships, utilizing one's personal and family resiliency, improving self efficacy and empowering people to find their personal path and voice. Many of my clients are dealing with the aftermath of addiction, loss, trauma, violence, and betrayal. I attempt to assist people to understand the jigsaw puzzle of life in order to feel, think, and behave more congruently with their inner self while improving their significant relationships.

Are you ready to put in the work to improve the quality of your life and relationships? I help clients get out of their own way by helping them find more helpful thought and action paths forward. If you are an individual wanting to find a path towards a happier, calmer and more fulfilling life and relationships, and ready to put in the work, then we are a good fit. My non-judgmental, direct, and educated approach using evidence-based interventions helps lead my clients to feel satisfaction and success with their therapy goals when working with me. My high client retention, referrals and waitlist are a testament to this.
