Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists in Campus Commons, Sacramento, CA

I hold affirming space for visionary, non-conforming, pleasure seekers in California who need support and some inspiration for their sexual self-discovery journeys. I am an AASECT certified sex therapist, and provide education, skill building, and a shame free zone to talk about desire, identity, and relationships.

Clients I have worked with desire a safe place to grow and learn to accept themselves after experiencing a variety of life struggles. I believe people can learn to find the potential that is already within them when given helpful guidance. I have experience working with a variety of clients including adults and adolescents who have experienced homelessness, incarceration, developmental disabilities, anxiety, and severe mental illness, such as psychosis, bipolar disorder or severe major depressive disorder, in both inpatient and outpatient facilities.

Feeling connected and comfortable with your therapist is an essential part of treatment and healing. Using a relational approach, I try to create an environment that helps people work on deeply personal and challenging issues. My particular areas of interest and experience include grief and loss, relationships, depression, anxiety, ADHD, adolescent and parenting issues, and identity/sexuality issues. I recently published my first book on sibling loss, "Surviving Sibling Loss: The Invisible Thread that Connects Us Through Life and Death." (Available on Amazon)

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who as a generalist works with a variety of presenting problems and enjoys working with different populations. I have extensive experience working with women, men, adolescents, and children with eating disorders and OCD. It is critical to individually tailor treatment to each client's needs. I utilize relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, values based therapies in my practice. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have a collaborative approach where therapist and client work as a team to better understand the problem and work towards healing and emotional health.

As an empathetic clinician, I am deeply committed to fostering mental wellness in our communities. One of the most transformative experiences of my life was growing up as a child of immigrants. It afforded me a unique perspective on the challenges of assimilation, cultural disconnection, and the silent suffering that often underscores the immigrant experience. This personal revelation imprinted a profound respect for human resilience and a deep empathy for those who feel marginalized or misunderstood. It ignited within me a fierce determination to bridge these divides, to champion change and empower individuals.

Now offering surgery referral letters aka gender health assessment or evaluations.

I specialize in counseling adolescents and adults, although I am not limited to that demographic. I also enjoy working with couples. I help clients discover that they have the power within them to overcome obstacles, to express their needs and wants appropriately and make the choice to reach their goals.

I work with people who are struggling, and decide take the courageous step to ask for help. Many have a history of trauma and suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, parenting challenges, sleep issues, sexual difficulties, chronic pain, relationship problems, and other post-traumatic responses. Also, present-day situations in our personal or collective worlds can be objectively hard to bear. Our experiences leave traces psychologically and somatically, so I use evidence-based, body-oriented, mindfulness techniques to address limiting patterns so that you can live more authentically today's challenging world.
