Teletherapy for Davis, CA

I view therapy as a precious investment of your values and vulnerabilities, so I aim to honor that investment with my commitment to your well-being. Through a nonjudgmental, authentic and compassionate stance, I strive to create a safe and collaborative space for you to explore sensitive issues, experiment with new behaviors, and work towards what matters to you. Whether you'd like to improve the quality of your relationships, health, work or education, or address mental health challenges, such as anxiety , depression, loss, life transition, trauma and addiction, I will wholeheartedly support your efforts in fulfilling these goals.

Sometimes it feels like your love of food and your hate for parts of your body are locked in constant battle. You got drafted into a war you didn't ask for. All you want is peace, or at least diplomacy. Somewhere along the way your stress focused in on eating, and now you feel stuck. Anxiety and depression have taken over; the enemy is winning. I've been there, and I'm here to help you negotiate the end of that war going on inside. Lets get to work on your relationship with yourself. After all, you are one of the most important people in your life!

Are you or your child/teen or marriage feeling strained or overwhelmed? I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families struggling with anxiety , depression, trauma, behavioral and relationship issues, including family blending and coparenting. It is possible to achieve symptom relief, behavior change and to promote passion, meaning, and successful relationships. Areas I focus on include children/teens, trauma, special needs or illness, parenting, and divorce (supporting parents and/or children). I am passionate to help clients witness and live their preferred selves and relationships.

Love Bigger. Deepen your authentic connections with yourself AND the people you love. Let's transform your pain into wisdom, navigate rough emotional terrain, reclaim joy and gratitude, and recast your healing journey as a rite of passage. I call it "doing your Wildish Work." There's abundant space here for you: your fears , hopes, politics, grief, gender identity, relationship configuration, goals, spiritual beliefs... ALL of you is welcome here. You'll be met with genuine warmth, care and an irreverent, spirited nature that turns healing “work” into a joyful adventure.

Psychotherapy is one of the best ways to live an examined life, opening doors to a deeper understanding of yourself and to a new way of being in the world. Mindfully tending to your psychological space, each of our sessions will focus on exploring practical answers to everyday problems, resolving fears and uncertainties, improving your life, and discovering how the psyche responds inwardly to overwhelming life events or when life-shattering events destroy outer meaning altogether. Even unavoidable and unpleasant experiences can be a source of psychological freedom.

I help people turn toward more emotionally satisfying lives by providing a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate atmosphere that facilitates growth. Do you feel as though you are merely surviving rather than fully living? We often live and act out scripts that are no longer satisfying or, even worse, inhibiting and destructive. I can guide you through a process of self discovery that deepens your capacity to face current challenges and enrich relationships. Whether you are struggling with anxiety , depression, life transitions, identity shifts, addiction, or family crisis, I believe the therapeutic process provides a rich landscape in which to heal.

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.

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.

Most people think you're doing well in life. They can't see how your past has left you feeling not good enough, full of self-doubt. You take responsibility for everything. You do a lot (and are great at some things), but your self-confidence can crumble instantaneously. You are stressed and anxious one minute, ashamed and depressed the next. You're no stranger to panic attacks, irritability, feeling blah, concentration troubles, or feeling numb. Your body is paying the price as well, with chronic tension, insomnia, high blood pressure, or unexplained physical symptoms. Living this way is exhausting!
