Attachment-based Therapists in Sacramento, CA

While working in ABA, I supported my clients in developing language, cognition, and adaptive skills for daily life. In private practice and community based mental health, I worked with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families through individual therapy, education based behavior intervention and mental health counseling, social skills development in the individual and group settings, and caregiver psycho-education.

I offer a genuine, non-judgmental, safe space for individuals to explore all areas of their lives they would like support in. I enjoy working with all types of clients and especially those who are goal-oriented, open-minded and motivated to work toward change they want to see in their lives. I begin the therapeutic process with attachment-based interventions by exploring childhood and how it has shaped the personality and views of the individual. While attachment-based methods are a favorite of mine, I do also tailor the methods used based on what I believe is best for the individual to reach their goals.

Shutting the world out for a while sounds like a relief. It also sounds lonely and stressful to do it for as long as it would take to fill your bucket. If you gave into that feeling you wouldn’t get anything done which then would make it all worse. So you hold it together, press on, and tell yourself it isn’t that bad and you are ok. Deep down you know you need some kind of help with all of the negative thoughts, imposter syndrome, and up and down emotions. What’s missing is the enthusiasm, connection, and true joy. Today something has shifted and it feels like now is time to stop going through the motions and start living fully.
