Therapists in Roseville, CA

Have depression, fear, or anxiety been keeping you from living the kind of life you desire? Are you seeking to heal the effects of a past trauma, or change old behavior patterns that seem to be getting in your way? I have successfully helped individuals facing these challenges to experience a greater sense of peace and well-being, and to achieve their personal, relationship and professional goals. Clients often describe feeling a more positive sense of themselves and their life choices as a result of our work together.

I specialize in OCD and Anxiety Disorders such as, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety/Social Phobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Specific Phobias. My approach in working with clients is integrative, combining the theories of exposure and response prevention (ERP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and acceptance modalities. I'm passionate about helping individuals achieve their therapeutic goals and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental setting for my clients. I think it's important to provide clients with the skills needed, and the support needed, to make changes in their lives that are in alignment with their personal values and priorities.

Therapy is not easy, it takes courage! If you are in a season of searching, self-exploration, and in need of solutions, you are have already taken the bravest step that I honor and respect. I am here to help you explore, heal, and find breakthrough that you need. My typical client is struggling with things like self-worth, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, life transition, loneliness, confusion, boundaries and relationship stressors. I work primarily with teens/adults going through these struggles.

My professional strengths include working with children, adolescents, and families to resolve behavioral problems, academic challenges, and peer problems. I have extensive experience with depression, anxiety/stress and fears, ADHD, and trauma. You and your child will be taught coping skills and concrete tools to use in dealing with the present challenges. Additionally I work with adults with trauma, substance abuse, eating issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and gaining clarity & direction.

Open spaces currently available. Are you feeling stuck, depressed and are finding it hard to feel joy in most things? Are your nerves getting on your nerves? Do you look in the mirror and ask, “Who are you and what have you done with the happy and confident person I used to know?” Life can be challenging and when faced with adversity, moving forward can seem impossible. Even if you aren't having current feelings of anxiety or depression but find yourself going through a tough time, are feeling overwhelmed, or are frustrated by loved ones and feel powerless, you can use support. That’s what I provide - a safe & supportive space.

We all can benefit from a trained compassionate caring person who can create a safe space where we can heal from hurts, sort out life’s challenges, identify the things that hold us back, and aid us in creating the life we want. Are you struggling with developing friendships and navigating the intricacies of robust and meaningful relationships with others? Do you feel lost in social situations? Are you experiencing anxiety or depression? Would you like to improve your skills in navigating your own emotional experience? Is your current experience holding you back from the life you want? I’m here for you.

The counseling you didn't know you needed. Whether you are trying to heal anxiety, depression, personal trauma, childhood trauma or just want a deeper understanding of where you are in life, something is missing from your journey. Let me help you fill in the gaps. You can heal your mind, your body, your relationships and your life by understanding how your consciousness is formatting your reality (life). Much of our internal programming is passed down from one generation to another through belief structures, judgments, trauma & unhealed emotions. What ever you are struggling with is connected to how you hold your thoughts.

Do you feel stuck? Are you feeling anxious and alone? Are you wondering if you can find help? Often we feel this way and it is a miserable place to be. What I know is this: there is hope, you can get unstuck and find more peace in your life. I want to hear your story and assist you in finding new and healthy ways to navigate your life. I, too, have suffered with anxiety and hopelessness. With my faith in God, a couple of supportive friends and a caring therapist I did get the help I needed.

How do you tell your story?

Are you noticing experiences from your past showing up in your life or relationships today? Perhaps you’re realizing that the childhood you thought was “typical” was actually anything but, and you’re seeing the patterns showing up in the partners you choose or your tendency to try and keep everyone happy. Maybe you’re walking a road through motherhood that you never expected to be on: infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, or postpartum anxiety or depression. While you might have pushed it away for a while, you now can’t ignore the impacts of these experiences on your body, your partner, your child, and your mental health.

I believe we are all capable of change, but sometimes knowing when to implement change and where can be overwhelming and daunting. Often we invalidate ourselves without meaning to and this can create an uncomfortable and less satisfying life. This may be because our environment is not fostering change or we feel backed into a corner. As a clinician I strive to be the person on the outside who can help you change what you want. Telling a stranger the details of your life can bring clarity that might otherwise be ignored. Some clients come in knowing exactly what they want out of sessions and sometimes clients need the blank space.

I support teens and adults enduring challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, and building a sense of self-empowerment. My method of practice is centered around developing a positive therapeutic relationship by establishing a foundation of trust, compassion, and empathy.

I feel fortunate to work in this profession and am honored by the trust that develops between my patients and me. Each of us often encounters difficulty along this life's journey and need to find someone to help sort out, understand and develop new tools to make our way. Sometimes therapy is a luxury and sometimes a necessity. I can help you meet the challenge when it is a necessity and help you grow to your highest and best potential when it is a luxury.

When you feel like you're just spinning your wheels, counseling can help you gain the traction you need to get your life moving forward again. Counseling can help you learn how to stop struggling with such difficulties as worry, unhappiness, self-doubt, lack of motivation, loneliness, homesickness, or the pain of loss. Counseling can help you get unstuck from repeated struggles with yourself and difficulties with others. In our meetings, you and I will work together to identify roadblocks that keep holding you back. I will assist you in creating permanent strategies to get past those roadblocks and start living the life you want.

My vision for you is to encourage growth towards psychological wholeness by restoring balance that includes mental, physical, and spiritual health. I see the pathway of wholeness as a source of healing and transformation of perspective, a deeper respect for life, increased creativity, joy, and a sense of purpose, and various other physiological benefits.

I promote growth and healing through compassionate insight, reflection and strategic direction! Acquired Knowledge seems most beneficial when put to use to benefit ourselves or others, for as we serve and engage with others, we more readily discover our true selves. I subscribe to Emerson's notion; "Do the thing, and you will have the power" rather than give me the power and then I will act! I enjoy being a contributing factor to others growth and advancement and relish witnessing the blossoming of added confidence, enhanced self-esteem. and true growth!
