Therapists in Chico, CA

It's been a long road to get to where things are right now, and each of us have traveled our own way to get here. Where you go from here with therapy is no one else's process but your own, so you should be able to find a therapist that treats you and your needs individually, without judgment or assumptions. Rather than trying to generalize what works based on my experience, I enjoy the process of finding out what works for you and aligns with where you want to go next. If you're here and don't know where to go or how to get there that is okay! Therapy can also be a process of discovery.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck in negative patterns? Do you struggle to cope with life's challenges or feel like you're not in control of your life? You deserve to feel better, more confident, and more fulfilled. As your therapist, I understand that you need someone who is empathetic, non-judgmental, and experienced in navigating the complexities of your emotional world. You want practical strategies and the understanding to help you move forward and create a more fulfilling life. Let me help you achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself!

I have lived and worked in the North State for many years and tailor my private practice to fit the needs of my clients.

Just when you think you are getting used to one phase of life, the next one throws you a curve ball. Whether your life includes being single, adjusting to marriage or parenthood, raising a teen, children leaving the home, or adjusting to retirement, each phase brings plenty of unique challenges. Issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life dissatisfaction can seem like constant companions through it all. It can feel exhausting! Life should not be about working so hard yet feeling so flat!

You love your partner, but lately you've been wondering if this is the right relationship for you. It might also be that you've "fallen out of love" and you don't know how to get out of the relationship. These dilemmas are very normal and they're usually the result of not knowing how to communicate your needs to yourself or to your partner. Understanding what's going on in your heart, sifting through all the noise to get through to the most important components, and carving out a path within you to heal what's hurting or sabotaging you in your relationships: staying, choosing unhealthy partners, hurting while in good relationships

Living your life fully is an ongoing process of learning how to allow your authentic self to survive and thrive despite life's challenges. When we are hurting, we forget that at the core of our being we have inner greatness, unique gifts, and a legacy that needs to be liberated and brought forth into this life. When we are wounded we tend to get trapped by the defenses we build to protect ourselves. These ways of protecting ourselves cause relationship issues, create ongoing patterns of pain and conflict for ourselves and others, and prevent us from living fully who we are. In the journey together we move at your pace in compassionately exploring and liberating your inner authentic self.

I work with clients who need support in making positive, lasting changes. Making change is simple, but not easy. I've helped many individuals over the years reach personal goals such as: healing trauma, rebuilding after loss, learning coping skills to manage anxiety, maintaining sobriety, setting boundaries in relationships, identifying & communicating feelings, & developing self-compassion. In our sessions, you can expect me to be relational; clients have described me as warm & easy to open up to. I'm passionate about helping people as they transition through & process difficult experiences.

With warmth, openness, compassion, and collaboration, I work to create a safe and supportive space to help individuals and families to overcome challenges, work through trauma, loss, and adversity, and manage difficult emotions, while uplifting their strengths and resilience.
