Therapists in North Oak Park, Sacramento, CA

As an adolescent therapist, my goal is to help my clients identify their own growth opportunities, values, and needs. Living a life with purpose and connection to self can be challenging and fulfilling. I encourage my clients to learn tools, language, and thinking that will help them navigate their lives in a meaningful way. I have experience in working with children and adolescents who face challenges with anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, sexuality, identity, executive functioning, relationships, and life transitions. Let's be honest, being a teenager is difficult at times. It can make a difference to have someone to talk to.

We all need a safe and intentional space to be vulnerable, to examine our stories, reflect on our connection to ourselves and others, and process where we’ve been and where we want to be. Maybe you’re wrestling with relationship dynamics or life transitions. Perhaps you’re dealing with internal struggles, wanting a sense of direction or you are wanting to heal emotional injuries. Allow me to walk alongside you on your journey of gaining insight of how you arrived at this place in your life and cultivating the space that you want for your present and future.

My approach to psychotherapy is based on a relational model. I have found this model to be necessary for permanent change. How people relate to others is formed in the relationship patterns they experienced as a child. We spend years learning how to behave in certain ways, and it can take some time and effort to learn new ways to interact with others. Further, for lasting change, we must experience new ways of interacting with others; in short, a therapist. If you have questions about how my approach to therapy might be helpful to you, please contact me. Thanks.

I have many years experience in treating children, families and individuals.

I also assist families in adjusting to new situations such as separation/divorce, moving, birth of a child, grief and loss of a loved one etc.

Congratulations on taking this first step towards re-authoring your life. In my practice I avoid labeling as much as possible, as the negative labels we assign ourselves often hold us back. I have a diverse experience and have found that it is important for me to be diverse with my approach. I will meet you where you are and be creative with my interventions. You are unique and so our work together shall be. Come as you are and without judgments we will move you on the path of health and wellness towards your goals.

I have worked with a number of different methodologies and techniques, allowing me to tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client.

Do you constantly put yourself last? Are you presenting your best self at work, to your friends, and family? Is your health beginning to suffer? When any of these areas of life are toxic or even just out of balance we can feel "off" and not effective at anything. Over time we can develop low self-esteem, poor coping skills, and feel like a failure. I work with people who are afraid or overwhelmed by the thought of making a change to their job, relationship, or putting themselves first.

The Therapist for People Who Don't Like Therapy... My biggest goal in therapy is to get you out of my office and back into your life! With that said, I have found that most people, at some point in their life, could benefit from some professional listening and feedback. Our friends and family are great sources of support, but are often too closely involved to provide the kind of unbiased perspective that we need to help us out of a rut or to enact the true change that we really desire.

When you need help - and all of us need help sometime - you want to tell your story to someone who is warm and supportive. Someone who is intelligent, trained, and familiar with the problems you face. These problems may involve family or marital relationships, insecurity, anxiety, depression, loss, or grief. Or the problems may be specific to people undergoing divorce, immigrants struggling with American language and culture, or artists striving to make their mark. All of us want someone on our side who is caring and helpful, someone who can clarify and show the way. My goal is to be that person for my clients.

With 25+ years of experience and training, I believe I can help you. I treat adults and couples. While people are each unique in their own way, they bring to therapy similar issues, including: Anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, early childhood trauma, and a basic desire to understand themselves better. Understanding yourself better,and moving into your future with confidence, is an overarching focus in my therapeutic approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapeutic techniques to help my clients achieve their goals. I teach people how to quiet their brain and their bodies with meditation and breathing practices.

I have been in private practice for 30 years, providing psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. Each person is unique and I strive to listen carefully to you and your life history. I create a treatment plan that is unique to you. My approach addresses the underlying, mostly unconscious beliefs, emotions, and expectations that create problems in life. This approach is appropriate for many different issues as it addresses the deep causes of difficulties. The changes you make in psychoanalytic psychotherapy are deep and enduring and eliminates the need for symptoms as coping strategies.
