I specialize in working with teens. Life consistently requires us to adjust and that is hard. Are you struggling in your relationship or in your ability to communicate with your spouse, teen or parents? Do you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help yourself or a loved one? At times nothing seems to work. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary and I realize there are many options. Anxiety, depression, low confidence/self esteem, anger issues, decision making, mood disorders, poor communication skills, addiction and behavioral issues are some of the things I can help with. Over 15 years working with teens.

Hello and Welcome. I believe that we are all capable of change. I provide a safe, compassionate environment for people to experience hope, healing and freedom. I have worked extensively with people suffering from anxiety, depression, codependency, eating disorders, sexual abuse and trauma. In my 17 year career, I have worked at universities, counseling centers, as a social worker and now in private practice. Clients respond to my relational style, empathetic and active engagement in their life and process. My hope is that if you are reading this, that you would step further into bravery and begin the journey.

You deserve to live the life of your wildest dreams. You may feel stuck, alone, and lost. These are difficult states of mind to experience. My greatest joy in life is assisting clients in reconnecting to that authentic heart-centered place within themselves to access their unlimited potential to create wealth and abundance in; career, all relationships (family/friends/romantic), finances, emotional wellbeing, physical health, creative expression, connection, community, and spiritual growth. This is for those who are looking to do the deep work of observing themselves and finding what really serves their highest purpose.

You are struggling. Your life isn't what you want it to be. We can help! We specialize in anxiety, depression, couples issues, addictions, sleep problems, concussion, ADD, and trauma. We are friendly and goal-oriented. I have 20 years experience working with adults, teens, and children. And, if you wish, we can also integrate neurofeedback training into our work together. Neurofeedback uses the EEG (which neurologists also use) to teach you to change brainwave patterns that keep you from being your best. I studied Neurofeedback at San Francisco State University, and am Board Certified in Biofeedback.

I enjoy helping people with a variety of problems. I appreciate a collaborative approach so we can target issues together. I utilize integrative counseling methodologies such as DBT, CBT, ACT, behavior change, feelings-based and thought-based approaches. I also offer deeper work looking at past influences as well.

It is my belief that we all possess the strengths and abilities necessary to overcome whatever challenges we may face during our lifetime. Sometimes we may lose sight of this through the many struggles life can throw at us and need the assistance and support of someone who has the knowledge and tools to help us realize our abilities, get "unstuck", and achieve our goals. I work collaboratively with you to remove obstacles and work toward realizing a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

I love working will clients to fulfill their goals and dreams. We work together to overcome life challenges that is individual to everyone. Some of the obstacles include anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, overwhelm, anger, and emotional reactivity. Each treatment plan, like each client is unique and I cater our time together to be ideal to reach your potential. I have lot of experiences with youth, teens, and young adults. I feel confident in helping you through any life challenge or struggle and can help guide you on a new and helpful path.

My goal is to offer a compassionate and supportive environment for people to experience change. Change and growth can take a different form with each unique person or couple. Growth can be seen in the different perception about a ongoing issue, a greater insight into ones emotional experience, or through actions taken towards a new direction. I recognize that throughout life there are many moments that come unexpectedly and a supportive grace filled relationship is helpful in finding direction and pursuing change.

Older parents needing someone to talk to? I would like to help you and your family member. I work hard to get you and your loved ones over the rough spots in life!

We all strive to be happy in life. Unfortunately life is full of unpredictable struggles that get in the way of our path to happiness. To gain true happiness we must learn how to love ourselves. Loving ourselves starts with self-understanding and believing in ourselves. Struggles unfortunately make us believe that things are not meant to be, or that we will simply never be happy. This negative pattern of thinking is what keeps us from finding happiness. Remember, we have all the tools within us to achieve happiness and create the life we love.

Please note: I am no longer accepting clients at this time. Background: I have provided family, couples and eating disorder services in the greater Sacramento area for almost 15 years. As someone in recovery myself, I understand the need for effective treatment, provided in a safe and healing environment. To that end, I have obtained extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and completed my certification in Family-Based Treatment, an evidenced-based treatment for adolescents. My passion for family work and experiential, hands-on exercises help clarify complex family issues and create an environment where healing occurs.

Life is about relationships-with people, food, money, work, activities, expectations. Relationships can get complicated or even destructive, and support, encouragement and advice can mean a successful transition through difficult times. In our fast moving world, there are many stressors that get in the way of achieving the happiness we desire, resulting in negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have 20+ years of experience assisting youth, adults, families and couples overcome these struggles. Most clients would describe me as easy-going and friendly, and I am focused on creating a treatment experience that fits you as a unique client.

Helping others discover and understand their potential and construct lives of contentment and joy is my passion. Life comes at you full speed with no rulebook or directions to navigate the twists, turns and speed bumps. It is my goal to aid all with whom I work to develop the skills needed to view and recognize life's challenges for what they are. Working together with me, you or your loved one will learn to use the appropriate tools and skills to approach life feeling empowered.

I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is a key component of effective and successful outcomes--I highly prioritize your need and right to feel safe, validated, supported, and heard without judgment as we collaboratively work toward your goals. I utilize evidence-based approaches and encourage your active engagement in therapy--it's not about me telling you what you should do, it's about me helping you discover and enhance the innate potential we all possess. I consider it a gift to be part of your journey toward self-empowerment, peace, and satisfaction in your personal and professional life.

My approach will be to listen to you and find out what you want and need, and we will work together on deciding the path I tend to use what therapeutic interventions are best to assist you and what will work best for you.

I like to create a safe place for someone to feel they can express themselves, their thoughts and their feelings. I am empathetic and I believe I connect well with people which helps guide people to reaching their goals. I think it is important to use some humor at times as well
