Folsom, CA 95630
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience. I specialize in mental health wellness with a concentration on substance use and psychiatric disorders. As a faculty member for Gorski CENAPs I teach and share ways that I have used his model both with clients and personally as a person in long term recovery. Previously, I was a professor at California State University East Bay teaching Masters level students clinical theory and skills. My greatest honor though has been my service as a Marine where I learned leadership, the importance of camaraderie, and how to access resilience even when I felt defeated.

I am a licensed Psychologist and have specialized training in End-of Life transition, Bereavement, EMDR, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Though I treat many types of clients, I specialize in working with people going through difficult times in their lives to include loss of a loved one or pet, illness, divorce or relationship disruptions, job loss, depression, and other life transitions. I love my work because, although I initially see people at a low point in their life, as we work together in a deeper way over time, they often find the courage and skills to make a lasting change.

If you have struggled with over eating for what feels like your entire life, you aren't alone! In fact, millions of people report that their relationship with food is one of the areas of their lives they would change the most if they could. What most people don't know is that your issues with food aren't really about 'the food'. People, woman in particular, who have disordered eating habits almost always struggle with anxiety, tend to have poor boundaries and people please, and have a belief system (or storyline) that is keeping them from healing past hurts or traumas, move forward, and find food freedom.

Too often we find ourselves accepting that living means tolerating disconnect and chronic dysfunction within ourselves and our relationships. We even find creative coping mechanisms which serve us well in managing the dysfunction… until they don’t. We may wish to grow or heal but are unsure of where or how to begin when we feel overwhelmed with what life has thrown at us. Life does not have to continue this way, we just need the right support and guidance to begin making real change.

Couple therapy works differently for everyone. Is couples therapy appropriate, and if so, where do you begin? Couples can wait weeks to see a therapist who may be a mismatch for their situation. Couples who could benefit from couples therapy benefit most when they have a clearer picture of what to address and the type of therapist to see. How do you improve your relationship when you don’t know where to start or if it is worth the effort? This is how.

I believe we all need help sometimes. Life is a journey, a journey that can be painful to navigate. It is my honor to walk beside you. It makes a difference to have someone that can help hold the burden until you find your own strength. It is my privilege to hold space as you work through trauma, pain, and grief. Transformation is a process, and to have support integrating the pain into the depths of your soul, is a gift of connection. Soul to soul. If you are searching for an advocate and a healer, it is not a coincidence you found me.

Do you ever feel like simple day to day tasks are more difficult to complete? Maybe you were more social, but now, it feels more comfortable or easier to stay to yourself? Was there a time when you were able to organize your thoughts and feel in control of your emotions, but now you've noticed it's too overwhelming and you feel powerless over your emotions? Have others noticed these changes? These may all be symptoms related to anxiety and depression, but they can also be signs related to trauma. We often think of trauma as single events like an accident or loss of a loved one, or life transitions.

Calming the mind and listening to the body is a skill that everyone can use. Therapy is an experience that gives you the opportunity to develop that skill. Therapy promotes depth in self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and discomfort. The role of the therapist is to work as a guide to lead you towards your most authentic version of the self. My therapeutic work is to enrich your living experience by meeting you where you are on your journey and assisting you in discovering parts of yourself that have been buried away. "Give yourself a gift, the present moment." - Marcus Aurelius

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
