Couples Counseling Therapists in Midtown, Sacramento, CA

I work with multicultural young professionals and couples eager to relieve relationship issues, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and intergenerational trauma. If you are struggling to find someone that understands your mental health and you appear to have it all together on the outside but inside you are searching for relief, I can support you in rebuilding confidence and self trust so you can feel in control of your life again. I can offer you tools to more deeply understand your values and emotions, set healthy boundaries unique to you, and help you create lasting relationships.

I understand the reluctance many clients may feel when dealing with personal issues and relationships in a therapuetic session. I want my client/s to experience comfort and relief by presenting understanding, practical tools and information they can take with them even during the first session. I teach communication approaches that improve relationships between couples , children and blended families.

Do you find yourself unhappy in your current relationship with self or others, or have you forgotten what it means to “be yourself?” Maybe it’s that you don’t feel safe in your body or with emotional intimacy, or that you feel disconnected from who you are. You’re thinking that therapy will help, but what do you need? Is it skills to get through the day? To overcome past trauma or current family conflict? To feel more connected to yourself and others? Maybe that’s the hope you have for yourself or your teen and why you want to start counseling, but you need something more than accessing and understanding emotions, you want change.

I believe that therapy is a powerful force in dealing with the emotions and difficulties that arise in daily life. It is my belief that in order for therapy to be effective, there must be trust between the client and therapist. Drawing heavily on humanistic theory, I utilize a collaborative, integrative approach to psychotherapy. I use strengths-based interventions to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and assist clients in the process of healing. I have training in the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use/abuse, self-esteem issues, and trauma-related symptoms in adolescents, adults, and veterans.
