Anxiety Therapists in Grass Valley, CA

I would be honored to help you in self-discovery and change. It takes a lot of courage to travel down that path. I often can intuit the key issues underlying a person’s suffering, which are often relational-both within ourselves and with others. To be kind and yet direct, and to really see you-both as you are now and how you want to become more whole. Finding clarity, compassion, and new ways to effectively deal with problems are essential in therapy. I will help you find where you are stuck and ways to get unstuck, by changing how you process both your thoughts and feelings. I work with both adults and couples.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California, I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. Since 2018, I have worked with a variety of populations dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives. Prior to my work as a therapist, I worked extensively in my role as a caseworker with women, especially first-time mothers and teen mothers, in dealing with family issues and parenting concerns. I have helped families, especially children, and adolescents, with issues of depression, suicidality, anxiety , bipolar disorder, and OCD.

PERSONAL STATEMENT Clear communication, taking risks and responsibility for one's actions and feelings, allow natural, self-healing resources to emerge from within us. Clients are encouraged to face fear and pain, live in the present moment, and not retreat into the past; thus, finding strength, courage and trust, leading to wholeness. A belief in a POWER, greater than our smaller selves, connects us to our healthier and truer SELF. This is a key factor in the healing process. We have experienced this greater SELF, often in times of great trial and/or great joy. It works!

Caring, compassionate counseling to help clients move forward through challenges and make positive life changes. I work with individuals and couples to address relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety , trauma, stress management, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and new pathways for personal growth. While working with individuals, clients set the goals that they wish to address. My role is to listen, encourage, and guide clients in a process of self-discovery and self-mastery. Sometimes clients are trying to heal from past trauma and move forward. Sessions offer support for healing and learning new healthy ways to live.

I offer confidential psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and children in a compassionate, safe and nonjudgmental environment. My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and strength-based. It is my belief that we are all unique and one approach does not fit all. I enjoy helping my clients in a broad range of issues, including anxiety , depression, trauma, grief and loss, co-dependency, relationship concerns, parenting, and adoption/foster-care issues. I consider it a privilege to come alongside and support individuals and families as they navigate life's many challenges and joys. Trained in EMDR.

You haven't been feeling it lately, and you know its the pandemic, but you just feel on edge. You worry that things will just get worse, and you just can't seem to get over the constant worrying. But there is a way out. You have turned to the right place for help, especially if you want to learn how to change it up so you can finally feel better. I work with sound principles of neuroscience to determine the right interventions for you. My clients frequently report feeling better within a few sessions, giving them enough energy to develop lifelong habits for growth, peace, and yes, even happiness.

Change—both expected and wanted or the complete opposite—affects us all, and we cope with it in varying ways. Traumatic events are never planned and often require new strategies to effectively navigate a world that may no longer feel as safe as it once had. The impact of loss, anticipated or not, deeply affects individuals, families and couples. My clinical practice is built on an investment in encouraging one’s own narrative expression of the human experience, identifying skills and strategies for living one’s best life, and providing a secure and caring place in which to grow and love change.

I am a psychotherapist (MFT) and a Certified Coach for the Psychology of Eating. My counseling sessions online and in person aim to help individuals (12 years old and older) and couples for a variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety , trauma, codependency, self-esteem, relational issues, life transitions, food related issues, behavioral problems and more. I provide space for those who are confused around their food choices and suffer silently and alone, so they can transform their relationship with their bodies and eating habits, and achieve greater self-esteem.

Are you looking for a different kind of therapy? Something that will speak to your soul and energize your spirit? Would you like to tap into your innate power to attract emotional balance, success, wealth and healthy relationships? While I specialize in healing trauma, trauma can come in all forms. Relationship trauma, spiritual trauma, emotional trauma, financial trauma and of course physical trauma. What if I told you that all forms of trauma can be healed? There is hope. It’s just a matter of finding the right therapist who can offer results.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to look at themselves honestly and I provide a safe environment to do that. The path to joy and contentment is through taking personal responsibility for our feelings and actions. It matters not what a person presents with rather depressed, anxious or traumatized. Epictetus, a Greek philosopher said, "It is not events that disturb us but the view that we take of them." I trust in the therapeutic process...I was an active member for 30 years of a Men's Group, so I got to look at my blind spots.

My primary philosophy uses a humanistic, embodied approach to somatic psychology. Using developmental based theories I focus on healing from the inside out. Increasing positive self awareness motivates the individual to investigate soulful changes that produce more joy and satisfaction in their every day lives. I continue to see adolescents, adults, and couples for both assessment and treatment of anxiety , depression, and other life cycle challenges.
