Therapists in 95404

Between my life experience and my years of clinical work, I bring a broad depth of knowledge to my work as a therapist. This helps me to better understand and help my clients with the dilemmas they bring. I combine a non-shaming atmosphere with careful listening, and then bring forth tools and knowledge for them to use in their life outside the therapy room.

The issues that bring us to therapy serve as openings to our true nature, and as bridges to self-compassion. When we discover or remember who we are beyond our suffering, and attend to the authentic being that has been neglected in the process, healing can begin to happen.

Hi, I’m so glad you’ve found my page. Realizing that you can’t keep going the way you are is the first step towards change. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, persistent mental health issues, or trauma—together we can understand what’s happened for you and where you would like to be. I’d love to work with you to create lasting and meaningful change in your life. I work with individuals ranging from 12 years old and up. I also take couples, polyamorous formations, and families. I serve all LGBTQ populations as well as women, men, and non-binary folks. Therapy starts with a 15 minute phone consultation, so give a call and let's talk!

Do you long to become yourself? Do you seek a greater sense of purpose and meaning, belonging and aliveness, and truer, deeper bonds with those you love? As a depth therapist, I work with these human needs and desires. Fears, anxieties, compulsions and trauma interfere with vital, heartfelt living. Examining and facing such difficulties is the important work of therapy. It is a journey of healing and discovery that can transform your life. My orientation is Jungian, psychodynamic and transpersonal. Soul, heart, mind and body are all included in my perspective on well-being.

The first and most difficult stage of change is asking for help. Contemplating change is often harder than taking the actual steps in that direction. Most people are pleasantly surprised with the relief and energy that comes from beginning! I will walk you through your beginning and answer any questions you may have about the process of counseling and psychotherapy. I am licensed by the Board of Behavioral Sciences as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Feel free to call or email with any questions you may have. I look forward to talking to you.

Life can be difficult, but you shouldn't have to take on its challenges alone. I'd like to provide a safe, supportive space for you to deal with those challenges, so that life feels manageable and even beautiful.

Are you sad, overwhelmed, and in pain? Anxious or depressed? Are you struggling to get through the day? Perhaps you have tried to get help, but felt that it went nowhere and did nothing for you. You deserve to get help that truly changes your life. I believe that it is only through warmth, caring, and deep and compassionate understanding that we are healed. I very much look forward to working with you so that you might optimize your life, improve your health, happiness, and relationships, and feel like the person you have always hoped you could be.

I provide a safe, supportive place for creative problem solving and self exploration. Each individual has a unique combination of strengths, needs and personal history that need to be identified and used to best achieve their goals. I view psychotherapy as a tool that can help people see new possibilities and potential in their lives, conquer fears and expand imitations.

Are you struggling with your life in some way? I create a safe and supportive environment in which we work together to address what is preventing you from living your life in a way that feels right to you. I have over 20 years of experience as a clinical psychologist and use an integrative approach to identify the underlying causes of your distress and guide you to be able to process and heal. I love my work and feel honored to be part of helping you recover so that you are able to engage in your life in a more fulfilling and satisfying way.

Just as the speed of technology has rapidly increased and expanded our lives, so has the urgency of people to resolve their life challenges and move quickly through transitions. Here are some of the transitions we may face during our lives: the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, becoming parents, caring for aging parents, beginning new careers, leaving home for the first time or deepening our spiritual lives. I gently guide people to quickly transform these challenges into opportunities to grow and achieve personal goals, in a safe, warm and accepting environment.

I help kids, teens, and families experiencing divorce create a fulfilling “new normal” by moving from stuck and overwhelmed to thriving and free. I know that you are more than a person going through a divorce. It is overwhelming to ensure your kids are supported, especially while you are learning what it means to be a single parent, navigating the impossible waters of being a healthy co-parent, adjusting to the new financial realities, and not to mention dealing with your own heartbreak.

I work with many older adults who are challenged by their life's circumstances, whether it be social isolation, financial worries or health problems or other age related concerns. I believe having emotional support during this time, is very important to help us age as best we can. I enjoy working with women of all ages, ethnicities, and sexual orientations as I feel being a women is wonderful but not without some unique challenges. I truly enjoy the energy and power of women and feel honored to be a part of their growing journey. I feel the same about my work with those who have a chronic illness or chronic pain.

I hold a deep and abiding belief in the inherent health and wellness in each of my clients and my work is to guide them to rediscover this core sense of aliveness, agency and resiliency. In addition to my clinical training in psychology, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Mindfulness Educator. I have integrated traditional psychotherapy with cutting-edge, body-based modalities that address childhood developmental issues and Complex Trauma. I create a safe environment in which to renegotiate learned survival strategies that, while needed at one time, compromise our ability to connect with ourselves and others.

Loneliness is a trickster. It can disguise itself as depression or anxiety. It can get us to sabotage our relationships and jobs, make unwise decisions, neglect our health, turn to substances or food, lose faith in the future. It can decimate our self-esteem, without which we cannot give to others. Maybe once it was loss, grief, trauma, betrayal, being at the top, illness, misfortune, being different, oppression, distance, or age. But now, maybe it's loneliness. And with the requirements of Sheltering In Place and Social Distancing during COVID19, loneliness has become a heightened risk for all of us.
