Life can get pretty overwhelming at times. And, with all of the personal and professional demands on our time and emotional energy, maintaining balance, healthy habits, and a positive attitude can become increasingly more difficult over time. Managing constant pressure, stress or worry can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health, contributing to poor sleep, fatigue, increased irritability, and poor decision making. If you want to restore balance in your life, experience more joy and inner peace, or improve your relationship with self and others, you are in the right place.

As a warm and engaging therapist filled with wonder and vitality, I help transform struggles into enlightened and empowered change. With over 28+ years in private practice with deep experience in residential, dual diagnosis and head trauma treatment programs, plus agencies (including WEAVE, Families First, Yolo Community Care Continuum, NeuroCare, UCDMC Psychiatry Department, Asian Pacific Community Counseling); and schools (Associate Professor at the Professional School of Psychology in Sacramento). I currently serve as Trauma Response/CISM clinician, Corporate Wellness Presenter for Sacramento/ Reno private & federal corporations, and was a past Board Member of CAMFT-Sacramento Valley Chapter.

To schedule your first visit with me, please use this online scheduling link - (https://portal.geneticforesight.com/book) --- I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) at Foresight Sacramento. I received my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology at Palo Alto University. I have experience working in community-based and school-based mental health settings for several years. I have been passionate about a career in counseling at an early age.

As a therapist, I see patients of all various points in their journey to self-discovery. Some suffer from depression, others struggle with addiction, some are questioning their sexual identities or struggle with it, but at the end of the day you are not your diagnosis, you are so much more. Often my patients come to me wanting to explore their life and what has caused them pain and what they can do to grow. Together, we will navigate your life story and find healthy ways to help you heal and grow into the person you choose to become.

Throughout life we have experiences that can lead us to struggle with difficult feelings that interfere with how we want to live our lives. We can have difficulty in relationships with others, feel unsure about who we are or what we want, or feel stuck and find it difficult to move forward. People typically seek out therapy in order to feel happier, live a more fulfilled life, or feel better in the relationships they have with others. Therapy can help you develop a better understanding of yourself, understand why you feel how you feel, learn how to cope with difficult or overwhelming feelings, and how to move forward.

*Currently not accepting new referrals. I have worked in the field of social work for over 20+ years providing case management services and therapeutic interventions. I believe that finding balance in life is important for overall health: mind, body & soul. I practice mindfulness daily within my own life. Life is a journey that we experience moment to moment. My role as a therapist is to help guide my clients to remain present in the moment and help close the chapter/s on past moments which cause imbalance in their present lives. Be well.

To schedule your first visit with me, please use this online scheduling link - (https://portal.geneticforesight.com/book) --- I offer a person centered focus with my patients, giving them therapeutic tools and adjusting the therapy to their needs.

To schedule your first visit with me, please use this online scheduling link - (https://portal.geneticforesight.com/book) --- I specialize in working with individuals dealing with acute/chronic/developmental trauma, reaction and adjustment to chronic illness/conditions such as chronic pain, cancer, traumatic brain injury, aging, physical/mental health challenges and the associated grief and loss that comes with this.

Asking for help for yourself or a loved one can be difficult. Sharing your life experiences, thoughts and feelings with a complete stranger is even more difficult. That is why I believe that it is important to build a strong foundation of trust and help you feel comfortable and safe enough to share your story and life experiences with me. Finding a good fit with a therapist is very important to reach your goals and is key to growth and bringing forth your inner strength.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

I specialize in relationships. Does your mate cause you to suffer? Is your relationship one of intolerable conflict or quiet desperation? People with such suffering often rush to breakup or divorce. Don't. Back away slowly instead. In leaving, not only do you waste the chance to save this relationship but also the chance to know yourself better. If you rush, you will likely repeat these problems in the next relationship.

Relationships are as important to us as food and water. They can strengthen us, like a vitamin, or weaken us, like the flu. You are only as good in relationships as the relationships you have been in. As your therapist I can assist you in many ways. I can help you learn more about yourself, increase both self-compassion and compassion for others, and heal past trauma. Together, we can explore how to feel more connected to yourself, your values, and people you care about.

To schedule your first visit with me, please use this online scheduling link - (https://portal.geneticforesight.com/book) --- I am a client centered therapist that focuses on providing the skills necessary for clients to succeed in life and obtain a stronger sense of self and value. It is important to me that you feel heard, seen and validated, but most importantly, connected. If you are struggling with life transitions, symptoms associated with PTSD, frequently feeling worried and depressed, or have turned to substance use as a way to cope, and would like to once again obtain control of your life, I can help.

I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their best selves and find fulfillment in life. Sometimes, we are held back by past hurts, low self esteem, anxiety, loss, or other life challenges. If you want to find ways to overcome life challenges, feel more confident, and have better relationships, I am here to help! I also love working with couples. Relationships, especially those with our spouse or partner are the most important thing in life. Often couples find themselves struggling to communicate and feel disconnected from one another.

On the outside, everything’s fine. You’re known for being courageous and unshakeable; the kind of person others want around in a crisis. But on the inside? On the inside there’s a part of your life that feels inauthentic, unmanageable – maybe even downright unbearable. Maybe your work life and home life are pulling you in a million different directions, and you’re ready to quit one or the other. Maybe you and your partner are stuck on the painful side of a betrayal. Or, maybe your marriage feels strained and disconnected, and you wish you could just get those butterflies back.

I am a psychotherapist geographically located in Sacramento, California. Currently, I am only conducting HIPPA-compliant telehealth; if you live outside California, please contact me to discuss options.

I work with people living with chronic health and mental health conditions, with those struggling with their identity and making meaning in life, and with adults having un/expected challenges in relationships, work, and beyond.
