Behavioral Issues Therapists in Fair Oaks, CA

I believe in seeing and treating the whole child, removing the limits of labels without losing the focus of specific diagnosis and therapy in order to help translate the child’s challenges into their unique gifts. Often, challenges that surface in childhood are opportunities for growth and learning. They represent a chance for the child to find their authentic sense of self, of others, and of their place in the world. When these challenges are approached in a loving, supportive, and strength based way we can help the child grow more confidently into themselves.

I am a believer in change and that we are all capable of it. I help clients tap into their past successes and current strengths to make changes needed to live out a meaningful valued-driven life. I pull from a variety of approaches in order to best suit my clients' individual needs. I am influenced by client centered strength-based therapies, Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My interests include anxiety, depression, workplace issues, stress management, life transitions, values identification/clarification, mindfulness, and working with students and professionals-particularly those in the helping and medical fields.

There are times in our lives when we feel like things are falling apart. But what if they were actually falling into place? In a safe and caring space, and with compassion and grace, we could explore those areas of your life that have made it difficult (and sometimes impossible) to experience hope, peace, or purpose. Whether we go on a journey to explore your past to heal wounds or remain focused in the present, together we can discover the path forward.

I work with clients to deepen their self awareness, and help them apply that understanding to interpersonal relationships, romantic partnerships, and achieving their goals. My focus is on creating a space where clients can be themselves without fears and expectations. Rather, I encourage clients to establish their own standards and boundaries to help them navigate their challenges and celebrate their successes.

I can help you become more proactive, not just reacting to the circumstances of life. Understanding the past. Managing the present. Building for the future. It’s never too late for change!
