Couples Counseling Therapists in Davis, CA

Somewhere inside, we have a deep sense of knowing. Some of us stand calmly in it. Others catch glimpses. You belong here: in this place, at this time. You deserve to love and be loved fully. You have unique gifts: yours to delight in and share with the world as you will. If you have forgotten, I want to help you remember.

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.

There's no better time than now to be your best self. I am here to help you reach your fullest potential. Let's journey together in a safe and non-judgmental relationship , where you can nurture and develop ways to live authentically with a sense of peace, presence, and dignity. In this collaborative process we will identify and establish ways for you to achieve your goals. Every client is truly unique; therefore I use an approach that is tailored to meet your individual needs. This may include techniques from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational coaching.

Today is the day you’ve told yourself, no more, I’m ready to feel better and find relief. Finding the right therapist is essential. That’s why at Three Figs Counseling Center we offer free consultation calls for the client to get to know the therapist, and ensure a good match. Our clinicians are highly skilled and have a wide range of experiences and knowledge to help you. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, life-transitions, support for parents, LGBTQ+ and so much more, we are here to guide you to a better version of yourself.

Are you insecure, struggling with finding your voice, setting boundaries, depression, anxiety? Maybe you are stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. Maybe you are exposed to toxic work environments.

Starting therapy can often bring up many feelings; and taking those first steps to find a good fit between you and your therapist is an important part of the process. We will work together to create a relationship that feels safe enough to address your concerns. In addition to my private psychotherapy practice I have provided trauma informed therapy to individuals and families in various community based, non-profit agencies, in addition to Clinical Supervision.

I welcome the opportunity to work with young adults to older adults to help to develop a preferred self. I know that developing an identity as a young adult can be challenging. Professionals may find it exhausting to have a work-life balance, or may be seeking meaning in their lives. I appreciate and value the intersections of our identities and how we navigate our lives. I work in a relational way holding clients in positive regard, attuning to you, and helping to identify internal and external resources to apply.

I will help you create a calm and safe space so you explore your relationships with yourself and others. This safety will help you open up more vulnerable experiences which I can help you process and have a greater insight and relief from your emotional pain. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and EMDR and EMDR M (Modified, Laurel Parnell’s training) attachment trauma therapy help you process stuck patterns either from trauma or "negative cycles" with loved ones or with your inner self. These cycles repeat endlessly and can be very distressing. I work extensively with shame and the inner critic to help you settle and open up more

In my thirty years of practicing psychotherapy, I have found that it is the therapeutic relationship itself which helps effect the greatest changes. I offer a safe, supportive place to explore the impact of trauma and loss and be able to move on.

I enjoy working with many types of concerns and challenges, as well as folks with alternative lifestyles and identities. I have experience working with the Davis community and UCD faculty, staff and students for over 10 years, as well as two years experience working at The Gender Health Center in Sacramento.

In my practice, I help clients with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, family stress and conflict. I provide therapy to families and couples , as well as young adults and teens. I like to work collaboratively with clients to identify issues and help bring relief from relationship conflicts, negative emotions, and life transitions.

I work with adolescents and young adults. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who are having a particularly difficult time with major life transitions. I also work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulties with relationships and individuals who are struggling with a particularly difficult period or event in their lives. Regardless of what I am helping with, my treatment begins and ends with the therapeutic relationship . My first priority in treatment is creating a safe, warm and caring environment for my client from which all other work is built on.
