Female Therapists in Sacramento, CA
I love working with women who feel burnt out, lost, and out of alignment with their authenticity and who want more. I have a spiritual orientation, although I believe there are many paths to God and I honor all of them, I really love working people who are comfortable working with energy and modalities that bypass the analytical brain. I have been providing therapy for 20 years and I know firsthand that talking about the story or the problem does not lead you out of it. In session with me, we identify the problem and then we move to the root of it to clear it out, we don't spend much time talking about it.

My 23-year professional career has included work with at-risk youth, individuals, families, and couples. After 20 years as a family court mediator, I am returning to private practice to offer steady, thoughtful support to people navigating difficult emotions and life transitions. I don’t view people solely through a diagnostic lens. While diagnosis can be useful, I see each person as shaped by history, resilience, relationships and experiences. Oftentimes, people just need to be seen, heard, and understood. Pain becomes more bearable when it is spoken, reflected upon, and met with compassion. I honor each client in their journey.

You're here because something isn't working and you're finally ready to face it. Maybe it's a relationship that's falling apart, a painful betrayal, difficulties with food and feeling comfortable in your body, or a growing sense that you've lost yourself.

I use an eclectic style that I have formed over many years of working with adults and children experiencing health traumas and family transitions through foster care, etc. I often start with crisis intervention and prioritize starting where the client is. I provide feedback and suggestions and motivational interviewing. I also have experience working with harm reduction models for substance abuse intervention. I often use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients with self-esteem, shame, and PTSD symptoms.
