Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Thinking about finding a therapist can be a challenging task. Will I like this person? Will he or she treat me with kindness and respect? Will this person judge me or make me feel worse than I already feel? Do I even need therapy? Do not let these thoughts deny you the opportunity of developing a healthy therapeutic relationship with a therapist that you trust. It is within the safety of this unique relationship that positive, life changes can occur. Please take time to read about my practice below and see if I would be a good fit for you.

Are you, or your child, struggling with ADHD, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, Autistic, Attachment or Neurodevelopment disorders? Are the symptoms making school, family and/or work life difficult? Or, are you an athlete or business person who excels but wants to perform even better? Perhaps you are spiritual and wanting to improve your meditation or mindfulness practice. Neurofeedback provides you healing, relief and peak performance through its' non-invasive use of neurologically relevant feedback by sound and sight cues to gently inform your brain toward what is naturally best for it.

Do you find yourself becoming stressed and anxious frequently and wonder if you may benefit from therapy or medication? Do you frequently find that you/your child have difficulty staying focused on tasks? Do you/your child frequently misplace items, become distracted easily, or have trouble with time management? Have you ever wondered if you/your child meet criteria for ADHD, a learning disability, or a mental health diagnosis?

If your child struggles with peers, attention, school, or mood/ anxiety, I can provide a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment to help you learn what is going on and what next steps to take. This assessment answers questions related to concerns for ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, or medical conditions. The goal is to figure out how to best support your child! In some cases, your child may already have an IEP or 504, but you feel they are not getting all the support they need or you do not understand the results. In these cases, a comprehensive evaluation may help.
