I have researched and lectured spirituality extensively in the past twenty years.
I mostly employ insight-oriented approach to psychotherapy. I believe, SELF-ACCEPTANCE is the first step in the path of happiness, I will help you accept yourself and experience making right choices. I use the power of now and mindfulness to help you tend to your emotions, thoughts, and sensations that occur in the present moment. I believe nothing is perfect, and relationships are complex. I will welcome the opportunity to work with you in understanding and improving your life.

I am passionate about working with diverse groups of people who suffer from trauma, whether from death, sexual or physical abuse, health complications, life stressors, or other complex matters; and have over 20 years of combined educational and practical experience doing so. With the understanding that life does not come with a “how to” guide, my goal as a therapist is to help you navigate the challenges of life which presents us with difficulties that may seem insurmountable. While you may not fully understand which direction may be the best route, sometimes talking things through can make all the difference.

You want to live the life you imagined for yourself; however, you find that self-criticism, painful past experiences, & negative feedback from others are taking up most of the space in your head. Your mental & physical energy are drained, leaving you feeling stuck and unmotivated. Your joy & hope are held captive & you find yourself in survival mode doing just what it takes to get through the day. You look at others & long for the success, confidence, & meaningful relationships that they seem to have mastered. You've tried many things (maybe even other therapists) & haven't achieved lasting change.

Maybe your family was less than healthy growing up and you wonder how that’s impacting you today? Did you feel ignored back then? If you felt pressure to conform to others’ expectations and hide how you felt - you're not alone. Over time that experience can leave you numb, confused and angry. If you haven't been taught how to manage doubt and insecurity, they creep and leave you anxious, resentful, and depressed.

Therapy offers a space for individuals to explore their past, present and future self. Your story matters. The more we try to hide, keep quiet or ignore our journey the harder it seems to find out what truly matters to us. Therapy can often be the last resort for many individuals and families suffering. I'd love for it to be the first option to a path of fulfillment. I still remember my first therapy session, the relief I felt when the therapist normalized my experience. It felt as if a weight had been lifted. A weight I carried for too long. I'd love to be the person who can offer relief and support to you and your loved ones.

Are you experiencing anxiety, grief, sadness, anger, trauma, or stress from daily life? My goal is to help you explore your core strengths to improve your emotions, build better relationships, or strengthen perceived weaknesses. As a therapist I've provided treatment services in a variety of settings residential, behavioral/mental health, elementary/ high schools grades K-12th, and private practice. In each settings I've found the most common reason for a client not seeking help earlier, fear of being judged. I'm here to actively listen, offer coping skills and techniques to help you better understand problems and solve them.

I meet with clients at my offices in Elk Grove and Gold River. I specialize in couples, singles and individual counseling of adults. I address issues from trauma & abuse recovery to relationships to anxiety, depression, grief and loss. A key resource in recovery from traumatic events involves strengthening our ability to attach to ourselves and others in a way that soothes and calms our nervous systems and grounds us, based on the latest neurological research and evidence-based techniques. This therapy can be much more effective and require a shorter duration of treatment than traditional talk therapy.
