Black and African American Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Relationships are a fact of life. We all live in relation to each other as spouses, children, parents & friends. Even in the best of these relationships, inevitably, problems occur. Often, we are able to resolve problems on our own. However, there are times when the help of an expert in relationships, such as a Marriage and Family Therapist, is needed to: *improve communications, *increase understanding in relationships, *resolve conflicts, *improve parenting skills,*relieve stress, depression, anxiety,*strengthen the bonds of relationships & gain a better understanding of one another.

I am interested in wellness and holistic approaches to therapy. My work focuses on helping my clients achieve growth. Growth can take many forms in one's life such as: improved relationships, improved sense of self, transition across barriers, achievement of goals, career success, reduction of painful/unwanted symptoms, etc. My approach focuses on understanding the core of suffering and stagnation while uncovering what stands in the way of growth. I now provide Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy as a optional compliment to therapy.
