Out of Network Therapists in Downtown Core, Davis, CA

Over the last two decades my clientele has changed along with my experience, skill acquisition and personal life. First as a clinician, then business owner, family man and student of life and living, I have been fortunate to have a career that reflects my own life. Peek moments, so many blessings, long trials and struggles and big losses have rounded the edges of once sharp ideals and brought a humble gratitude for the souls I've met in my office. While I have a solid grasp of several powerful treatment modalities, my goal first is to be a good human to those who seek me out.

My life philosophy is simple. I approach life with dedication, integrity and a sense of humor. The latter always comes in handy. While a native Californian, I’ve been lucky enough to have lived in three different countries and have learned that no matter the land or language, people crave love and union. People are waiting to tell their story, be heard and accepted.

COVID-19 and quarantine has changed the world, the way we navigate challenges and brought forth our need for connection.I am passionate about helping clients learn new skills to deal with the changes that come in life and rediscover their ability to create solutions to fit their world. I enjoy collaborating with clients to foster self awareness and empower them in their journey. I assist clients in reevaluating and refocusing to be more present. I work with clients to identify triggers as well as establish healthy habits to take care of themselves and their families.

YOU DON'T NEED MORE TALK - YOU NEED RELIEF. We don't do journaling out loud. Some forms of therapy can be the equivalent to what we call "journaling out loud" where each session is comprised of whatever you feel like sharing about from your week or your past. While this type of process is important to the counseling process and does occur in some amount each week, this isn't the work of therapy that facilitates healing. In our view, you will feel temporary relief from doing this in the same way that you do when journaling or talking to a friend. In counseling jargon we call this "catharsis."

I believe that therapy can be a rewarding and life-changing experience. I became a therapist to help people lead happier, more productive lives. Clients need a sense of connection and trust, but also need someone who will gently challenge long-standing beliefs and patterns in a way that leads to positive change. I have been a therapist in the Davis community for 20 years, and have extensive training in Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Coherence therapy, and Long term psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Hypnosis is a science-backed, naturally occurring state of concentration. It is a means of enhancing your control over both your mind and your body. In hypnosis, you can attain significant psycho-physiologic changes, change limiting beliefs, and develop new patterns of thinking and behaving. In short, hypnosis works.

As you start on the path to motherhood are you feeling anxious, sad, perhaps shame or just not yourself? It can be frustrating, draining, and at times heartbreaking. This is likely not how you thought it would be. Society tells us that becoming a mother will be a natural, seamless process filled with joyous moments. It's often not the reality. I recognize and acknowledge that this can be a difficult time, and I am here to support you regardless of where you are in this journey. Imagine how it would be to feel more like yourself again. To feel confident, happy, calm, and entering motherhood as your best self.

I work with adults (18+) who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, university challenges, both academic and social, and other difficult life events/transitions. My goal is to establish a positive and trusting connection with my clients while providing a supportive environment for the work we do together. I work collaboratively with my clients to find new ways of coping and managing difficult challenges that will ultimately lead to a more meaningful and productive life.

Life is full of challenges, but challenges give us the opportunity to look at things in new ways, connect with others and find our inner strengths. My goal as a therapist is to help you in this process. We will work on identifying what you are experiencing, how you got there, where you want to go and what you need to achieve your goals. I strive to be both a focused listener and active participant in sessions, and to create a safe space where clients feel understood and respected. Through the therapy process, we develop a relationship that has the potential to be transformative and healing.

Are you distressed? Anxious? Wish life felt more positive? Would you, on your own or with your partner, like to work through what's bothering you, improve relationships, and feel more confident in going for what you want? Perhaps you would like support to explore and understand what you are experiencing, and help to make some changes. Meeting with a therapist for time focused solely on you can help you on your journey. With warmth, professionalism, and gentle humor, I am eager to get to know and work collaboratively with you, to help you find your new path.

My practice focuses on helping people develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. I believe in building a safe, respectful and compassionate relationship with my clients where we can exchange direct, honest, and meaningful feedback. Within this trusting relationship, we can explore your challenges and strengths so that you have more healthy choices regarding your life goals. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, isolation, grief or relationship issues, or if you simply want to live more authentically and fully, there is hope. Key elements in the change process include curiosity and a desire to learn about yourself.
