Medi-Cal Therapists in Fairfield, CA

Welcome! And thank you! I love to work with Couples, Families, and individuals who are seeking to overcome barriers in their lives. Some are struggling with: * anger management, * addiction, * Jobs stress, * familial & social relationships issues, * loneliness, * anxiety, * current or past abuse * depression, * poor communication, * relationship issues, * parenting, * Trauma/Traumatic events * poor focus and attention, * low motivation, * veterans support, * VICTIM OF A VIOLENT CRIME (VOC),* and the search for purpose. Often many people are stuck in addictive self-destructive patterns in their lives, which result from an effort to manage their emotional pain.

Talking to a stranger about your innermost thoughts can be scary and risky. You may be experiencing sadness, anxiety, depression, grief or having problems in your interpersonal relationships at home, school, work or in the community. I would like the opportunity to work with you and support you through the process of identifying, understanding and making changes in area of your life that are causing you great difficulty.

I think we can all agree...life can be tough...but so are you! You have survived all of your worst days and the fact that you are here means that there are thoughts swirling around in your brain that drew you here. Are you looking to take a leap you've been too afraid to make? Are you feeling the stress and pressure from work, school, home or all of the above? Do you have things you want to say out loud to the world, but haven't quite found your voice? It can be so easy to go through life pretending to be okay, but I hope to provide a space that makes you feel comfortable enough to share when you aren't.

Welcome, I appreciate your interest in exploring the options of my practice. As a registered Art Therapist and Marriage and Family Therapist my approach tends to be interactive. I value a strength-based perspective with clients that focuses on identifying and building strengths as a means to achieve your goals, especially approaches to well being and happiness. I often use solution-focused and narrative approaches that include skill building through cognitive-behavioral techniques. I provide a variety of modalities to address clients' needs which includes art therapy groups for teens and adults as means of support and expression.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Are you tired of talking and ready to make progress in counseling? Get a measure of breakthrough in as little as 3-5 sessions. Life is often not fair and can be overwhelming at times. In fact, life doesn't always turn out how we had planned. This does not have to be the final outcome of your story. Let me help you create a clear and practical step by step solution for your concerns

Do you always feel on edge? Did something traumatic happen? Trauma is a disruption to the nervous system that often creates patterns and loops that extend into many areas of a person's life. It can affect our bodies, our minds and the way we relate to other people. Sometimes the way people survive their trauma brings them more pain, adds to the chaos, and reinforces negative beliefs that perpetuate the cycle as well as causing other mental health issues grow- such as depression and anxiety. I work with people of various cultures, sexual orientations, and gender identities and know that trauma is non-discriminatory.

Our ideal client has a sincere drive to change the way they feel about themselves and the way they live. We know it’s not easy to make changes, and while self improvement is possible, addressing those tough personal issues that keep you “stuck” takes work. E5 Therapy offers a unique approach to helping you reach your goals. We incorporate a professionally trained dog as a co-therapist to help you feel safe, secure, and do the work you need to do. Quality of life is everyone's right, so let's work to get you there.

You are here! The first step is often the hardest step. In Black and Brown communities seeking mental health treatment is taboo. Stigmas attached to therapy are REAL! Let's work on building a better understanding of what it truly means to be healthy. Feeling lost, stuck or confused? Having trouble communicating your needs? Finding it hard to set healthy boundaries? Need help setting goals? Suffering from anxiety and depression? In constant state of turmoil? These are all normal feelings. Internal struggles rooted in our childhoods show up as chaos in adulthood. It is okay to work on YOU! I can help.

I work with clients experiencing life changes, grief and trauma. My work includes children, adolescents and adults who are suffering loss/trauma and life changing issues. I am a licensed clinical social worker, believing in a strengths based approach. Everyone has strengths to pull from, I can help you find and cultivate those strengths.The relationship between client and counselor is the most important part of this process.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe space for all of my clients to process their emotions, and build tools to guide them through their journey to heal.

In my practice I am focused on helping you find meaning and resolution for your adverse or challenging life experiences. My goal is for you to feel better connected to the Big Picture of our common reality: humanity as one people, one community, spinning together on this planet we call Earth, in which all of our actions affect both ourselves and each other.

On the outside, you seem to have it all figured out. But deep inside you want what other people have: confidence, healthy habits, and strong, wholesome relationships. Your attempt at attaining these has you feeling stuck. You want love and respect in these areas of your life, but you're scared to take risks because you’ve been burned in the past. Something is always seems to get in the way… and sometimes, you know it’s yourself. Whether you, or your child or teen are struggling, our work together will give you the tools you need to have success at work or school, build fulfilling relationships, and feel good about yourself.
