Therapists in Davis, CA

The clients I often work with seem to have a history of not finding a therapist who gets them and the way they see the world. They struggle with feeling understood and have lost hope that there is anybody out there who can actually help them better their lives. They know there is more to them, they just don’t know how to bring it out of them. Most people of the people I work with just want to feel understood, they want someone to validate how their lives have unfolded to get where they are now, and from that moment, their lives seem to start unfolding. They just needed someone to help them make sense of it all.

My approach as a therapist is simple, I meet my clients where they are so we can reach their goals collaboratively. As a therapist, I work for my clients and understand that we are all different and that what works for some won't work for others. My job is to help people achieve the change/goals/ etc that they want to achieve. To accomplish that I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their goals, what contributes to their situation, and what skills/changes we need to create/uncover to create the changes they are looking for.

Let’s be honest: you’ve always been responsible, and now you’ve got a lot to manage! Between a demanding career, school, and family needs, you’re feeling stressed, and life feels out of balance. It’s impossible to do it all, and nothing ever seems good enough. You feel alone and worried, and your social network isn’t able to provide you with the support that you need. Perhaps your sleep is problematic, or your energy is low. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, depressed, irritable, or having difficulty concentrating. You might be troubled by feeling that you're an ineffective partner or parent. Things will get better soon, right?
