Congratulations on taking this first step towards re-authoring your life. In my practice I avoid labeling as much as possible, as the negative labels we assign ourselves often hold us back. I have a diverse experience and have found that it is important for me to be diverse with my approach. I will meet you where you are and be creative with my interventions. You are unique and so our work together shall be. Come as you are and without judgments we will move you on the path of health and wellness towards your goals.

I have been in practice for over 25 years and bring a blend of specialized training and personal experience. I also believe humor is an important aspect of treatment and recovery. I have thousands of hours of training in trauma-related treatment (PTSD, rape trauma, domestic violence) and anxiety disorders. I believe each person is unique so their treatment should be unique. It is a collaborative effort between the clients and me to help clients achieve their goals.

Psychosis is a treatable condition. I truly believe this because I have seen recovery and restoration of functioning happen for many of the clients I have worked with in both inpatient and outpatient settings over the years. I am delighted to now be offering my services in the private practice setting.

I received my Master's degree from the Boston University School of Social Work, and specialized training in addiction treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy and brief therapy at the Cambridge Hospital/Harvard Medical School. My clinical expertise include couples, addiction disorders, dual-diagnosis and family therapy. I work with adults, preteens and adolescents with anxiety, depression, mood disturbances and trauma; and utilize evidence-based interventions including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical, motivational and psychodynamic treatments. My goal is to help people attain wellness efficiently, thoroughly and safely.

I offer a supportive atmosphere rich with self-discovery, humility, laughter, hope and common ground in the throes of daily challenges. I am especially interested in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, self-identity, transitions, relationship issues, and well beyond.

It’s okay! Things will be alright! (>‿◠) Meet me at my mid-town Sacramento counseling office for a chill, judgment-free space to have a friendly, casual little talk about what’s going on.

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.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with degrees from Princeton University and the American School of Professional Psychology. I help adults who are suffering from issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, car accidents, traumatic experiences, divorce/breakups, personal injuries, codependency and eating disorders. My specialty is EMDR therapy. If you suffer from PTSD, I can help you to reprocess recent or past trauma. Together we will work to get back behind the wheel, resolve that family conflict, overcome problematic relationships, recognize codependency, set boundaries, and heal.

My passion is working with couples to help them have a more meaningful connection with each other. I also help adults overcome obstacles such as relationship issues, anxiety, negative thoughts, trauma, etc. in order to reach their goals. I have over 25 years of experience treating children, teens and helping parents use evidence-based strategies that work.

Life is inherently full of challenges. Work and/or school, family, relationships all have their own difficulties and you end up feeling depleted and unhappy. At times, you may feel you can manage your challenges, and other times you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless, unsafe, vulnerable, or even lost. You may feel hurt and like you are carrying too much stress and worry. You are searching for a way to cope with your stressors and are seeking more fulfillment in your life. You’ve tried different ways to help yourself, but your challenges persist. Navigating life is hard, but you are worthy of support as you go through it.

I believe finding a therapist is a little like dating - you have to keep trying until you find the right one. As a survivor of childhood trauma, I became a mental health professional to support others in finding their path to healing through a holistic approach. That’s why I've dedicated the last 15 years to studying and experimenting with a variety of holistic tools. If you're overcoming trauma, symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, attachment or relational challenges, I'd love to connect to see if we'd make a good fit.

Please read this ad in its entirety before contacting us as we only provide a specialized form of care. Preferred contact is by email, not by phone. New Horizons Child & Family Institute provides Intensive Family-Focused Therapy (IFFT), a specialized family-based treatment approach developed by Paul Sunseri, Psy.D. IFFT is designed for children and adolescents with moderate to severe mental illness (severe depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and oppositional behavior). Please see our website (myIFFT.org) for more information, as well as Dr. Sunseri's TED talk (located at the website).

My goal is to understand you and your story as you experience and see them. I tailor my approach to each client, specific to your needs, desires, wants, and dreams. It is not up to me to decide what success looks like for you. It is not up to me to tell you how to live your life, or what makes you happy. My focus is on your strengths and helping you achieve your goals, wants and dreams. We are all humans who live on a “sliding scale” where we are each different individuals made up of our own beliefs, values, and life experiences, I honor this for you and thrive to meet you where you are.

Do you long for safe, intimate connections? Let me be your coach and guide. Your healing journey can begin today. I help women and couples clear hurts from the past that interfere with building safe, loving relationships. Through relationship counseling, EMDR, and IFS/Parts work therapy, I help both women and couples to heal from early relational trauma and painful intimacy experiences, and teach them how to develop loving and satisfying relationships today.

My passion is psychological healing and growth. I believe everyone has the innate potential to live full, satisfying, and self-actualizing lives with hope, joy, and meaning. I want to help people change and grow in an environment that is open, safe, and non-judgmental. Compassion and authenticity will help people grow and feel whole. I primarily use an integrative approach, incorporating multiple therapeutic approaches and drawing on a variety of techniques and interventions as needed. I, however, gain my principal inspiration from solution-focused and humanistic modalities.

Are you wondering why your life has not turned out how you envisioned it? Joy seems like it's right around the corner if you buy that product, or date that person, or love your children more, or fill your day with things to do. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or unhealthy relationship patterns? What's your strategy when you feel paralyzed by the thought that you have the potential to live an extraordinary life, and no idea what steps to take? I know what it feels like to experience “its”, (sh-t), and the subsequent consequences of the unexpected “its” that happen in our lives. I also know what it feels like to heal.

I am a LGBTQ, IAA+ a trans-affirming individual and I specialize in gender across the lifespan, from age 3, as well as in providing pre-verbal trauma work. Please forgive the acronym being mis-typed, this system would not allow it to be stated in it's completion. Which, perhaps, illustrates some of why queer and trans folks often need extra support. I work with diverse individuals and couples that range from cisgender, gay, polygamous, and polyamorous relationships. I specialize in gender across the lifespan, from age 3, as well as in providing pre-verbal trauma work.

Accepting new clients! When did life get this hard? When you look in the mirror, maybe you don't recognize yourself or you don't know where your life is headed. Your work performance and ability to maintain relationships is a struggle. Your inner voice is more negative than ever and it's hard to "be positive" despite your best efforts. Whether it is a recent hardship or nagging past, you're ready to make sense of it all. You have it within yourself to find joy again. I'm here to help you uncover the stronger, healthier you, that has been there the whole time.
