"If you are at the point of seriously considering therapy, then you might be experiencing intolerable pain and frustrated with life. You now recognize that something needs to change and you would like help to achieve that. The process of effective therapy requires a space of safety and protection. You typically sit across from a therapist at your most vulnerable opening up about what is truly painful and unbearable. Will they understand your experience and have the ability to help you solve the problems at the center of your pain?"

"My practice focuses on general counseling, psychotherapy and sport psychology. I work collaboratively with individuals in addressing personal needs through multiple techniques essential to achieving relief. I also work with athletes and sport participants regardless of ability or level of participation. What all athletes, have in common is that their sport is important to them, it enhances their life, and are committed to being the best they can be. I assist athletes, coaches, and family members in addressing psychological factors that impact participation and performance in sport. Sport psychology can enhance the performance, personal growth, and overall well-being."

"I offer therapy because I know it works in creating positive changes. Whether you are an individual or a couple, I create safe spaces so you can get help with a range of concerns. Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling hopeless? What issues are you struggling with? Do you imagine a change that would positively impact your life? Or, do you envision letting go of stress and accepting your situation? Whatever your concern, I am confident I can help coach you to success. Come to therapy in a collaborative, friendly and engaged environment, and be glad you got started today!"

"If you struggle with chronic issues and have tried other therapists and are still struggling, I may be the therapist for you. Many chronic conditions are coming from significant early trauma that is difficult to access because the memory is not stored verbally in the brain. I have empathic and intuitive skills that allow me to make contact with your trauma and release it. Once released, the defensive symptoms disappear and there is an automatic increase in ease and wellbeing."

"Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? We all reach points in our life when we need some additional support. It is my belief that therapy can help us learn to manage stress when we find ourselves in difficult times, helping us to break out of problem patterns and difficult issues. I greet client's with warmth and work to tailor a therapeutic style to match my clients individual needs. I will work to build upon your personal strengths and enjoy working with clients to support personal growth in order to create a happier and healthier life."

"You've lost track of your real self. You too often feel immobilized or lost. Depression, anxiety, anger, numbness or substance abuse can be excruciating. Therapy can actively support you to get "back on track." Let's get started. Your life is waiting."

"Do you feel lost? Disconnected from yourself? Like you're just not "you" anymore or you're not sure who you are now? Maybe you are in an abusive relationship, just left one, or have undergone a traumatic event or major life transition. You need help rediscovering and reconnecting with yourself. You might feel disappointed with what your life looks like and where you are at. Depression and anxiety have taken the forefront in your life and you want a way back to feeling like yourself, a way back to feeling healthy and interested in life again."

"I view therapy as an collaborative effort to not only alleviate current distress but to enrich one's overall quality of life. Over my 18+ years of experience I have come to view therapy as a process through which we identify patterns that are no longer serving you in your life. Working at a comfortable, but productive pace we are able to identify and eliminate these unhealthy patterns, allowing you to feel more confident, experience deeper and more meaningful relationships, and access your true potential."

"We offer individual, family, and couples counseling in-person and online with trusted therapists. Schedule a free consultation, in person or online today. A sliding scale based on income is available to all clients."

I am interested in the journey that has taken you to this moment, and I will provide a nonjudgmental and collaborative space to explore your story, your feelings, and your hopes for the future.

"Welcome to RISE Counseling and Consultation. Whether you are exploring therapy or have seen someone before, I am here to provide support to all people from all walks of life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 12 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient mental and medical health settings. I specialize in co-occurring and anxiety disorders. I practice with a diverse lens and offer in-person or secure telebehavioral health services for people who are busy or have difficulties coming in. Call for a free 15 minute consultation."

"The focus is on working with youth and adults who carry unique emotional and psychological sensitivities. My style, that embodies more of humanistic and holistic approaches, has proven to be very effective with individuals who are connected to spiritual or creative energies; individuals such as artists, healers and LGBTQ, who struggle with self acceptance, self esteem, anxiety and depression. My aim is to help you find and acknowledge all parts of yourself, dormant or active, heal and embrace them all to create a complete, wholesome, You. "

"Do you constantly put yourself last? Are you presenting your best self at work, to your friends, and family? Is your health beginning to suffer? When any of these areas of life are toxic or even just out of balance we can feel "off" and not effective at anything. Over time we can develop low self-esteem, poor coping skills, and feel like a failure. I work with people who are afraid or overwhelmed by the thought of making a change to their job, relationship, or putting themselves first."

"I prioritize developing a therapeutic relationship that is founded upon trust, integrity, compassion, and non-judgment. The emphasis is less focused on "pathology" and more on strength, resilience, and developing life and relationship effectiveness. It is my hope to support you to be more content in life, learn new ways to re-engage life and to become more empowered to move toward your vision of change. It takes tremendous courage to take the first steps toward healing, change, and growth. Thank you for considering working with me to support you on this journey."

"I am currently on leave through May 2018 and unable to accommodate new clients."

"Life can be an overwhelming experience for anyone. Things can become especially challenging when a person feels stressed by circumstances beyond their control. Individuals who come to therapy are often very capable human beings who have experienced something in their life that has left them needing some extra support. Many times people begin therapy feeling down and lost. Through a person's work in therapy, they are often able to find some light on their path to help guide them through the pain. This shift creates an opportunity for a person to improve their day-to-day functioning and overall, they FEEL BETTER!!"

"If you are reading this, take heart, as you've already demonstrated your courage. Many people, if not most, never seek the help they need, professionally or personally. As a therapist, my philosophy is that every person is unique in their own way, and this requires a unique solution to the challenges you face. People are incredibly complex, and many times this is why cookie cutter interventions often fall flat, because the client is not fully understood before interventions are prescribed."

"I work with children, adolescents, parents, couples, and families. I am warm, real, and collaborative. If you and/or your family members choose to work with me, I'll endeavor to create an environment that feels safe enough for you to take risks, be authentic and make lasting changes. We'll work together to explore the dynamics that may inadvertently by contributing to a problem cycle, so that you can feel empowered to act in more preferred ways of being."

"I treat adults & couples suffering from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties in my Midtown Sacramento office.

I enjoy LGBT clients, people struggling with existential issues, and business people trying to balance life with career. I have extensive experience working with treatment-resistant Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorders and can often help clients with innovative treatments. I am also the Past President of the Sacramento Valley Psychological Association."
