Female Therapists in Downtown Core, Davis, CA

As you start on the path to motherhood are you feeling anxious, sad, perhaps ashamed or just not yourself? It can be frustrating, draining, overwhelming, and at times heartbreaking. This is likely not how you thought it would be. It feels like it should be a natural, seamless process filled with joyous moments. Unfortunately, it's often not the reality and I am here to support you regardless of where you are in this journey. Imagine how it would feel to be the best version of yourself. To enter motherhood confident, happy, and calm. Together we can get you feeling that way.

I believe that we all have the ability to grow and change and sometimes we need help in order to do so. The therapeutic relationship can be a place for connection, healing, insight and acceptance.

As a therapist, my focus is on helping you cultivate greater self-love, self-care, and personal growth. I created “Behold your Wonder” for all identifying as women . I want to empower you to recognize and appreciate your unique qualities and strengths, so you can feel more confident, resilient, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges. My goal is to support you by providing guidance and education so that you can have self-agency and build secure attachments. Furthermore, I also provide couples therapy to help couples cultivate greater intimacy, connection, and healthier communication.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or “stuck”? Are you wanting more from life? Are you struggling with letting go, changing, getting rid of and/or avoiding difficult and painful thoughts and feelings? Utilizing a genuinely warm, humorous, and direct humanistic approach, I will gently challenge you and invite you to step out of your current comfort zone and step into authentic, mindful living. Throughout our sessions, we will: hold space for difficult thoughts and feelings, highlight underlying patterns of thinking and behaving that may no longer serve you, and imagine new ways of being and doing.

You know there's more to life than the loneliness, frustration, and fatigue you somehow keep coming back to. Despite the many times you've mustered the strength to push through and keep trying, sometimes you feel like true lasting change is hopeless. But something in you keeps calling, drawing you forward in search of the ease, passion, inspiration, and freedom you're longing for.

Have anxious thoughts become overwhelming and led you to doubt yourself and your decisions? Maybe it’s tough to just get out of a bed in the morning, or you just keep pushing and striving, but have a hard time accessing a sense of fulfillment and peace? Maybe you feel like you’re always giving to and pleasing others, but don’t ever feel nourished and “filled up” yourself?

I create a healing space for those who are struggling with anxiety, depression and managing their emotions. These issues can cause stress in your daily life and in relationship with others. I do believe that there is a way to honor our lived experiences while learning new skills to help manage your emotional life.

As humans we possess the incredible capacity to collaborate with, depend upon, and connect with others. These innate skills enhance our ability to cope under harsh life circumstances. Asking for help is the first step to enhancing your own abilities and skills of connection, healing, growth, self-awareness and so much more. If you are ready to take this step and team up with another to improve your life, send me an email or give me a call!

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing roadblocks on their path to a more fulfilled life. Barriers to wellness are not limited to the mental realm and may include physical issues, sexual issues, relationship issues and spiritual issues. These issues interrelate and thus must all be addressed holistically. The symptom is not the cause and is often key in figuring out where the problem resides. I believe in the power of the human beings to heal themselves. I see my role as helping identify solutions and offering tools for personal growth and healing. I seek to empower my clients as they heal, grow and develop resilience.

My Goal is to support clients in exploring their past and present to uncover unhealthy patterns that may cause distress and stops them from creating the changes they seek. We will collaborate together to create strategies and solutions based on a holistic, cognitive, and psychodynamic approach that supports you in meeting your personal and professional goals, as well as creating lasting change in your life.
