Female Therapists in Sacramento, CA
Let me guess: you’re always the one thinking about what could go wrong and wish you could just relax and go with the flow like everyone else. You know these worst case scenarios probably won’t come true, but once they're in your mind, your body reacts like they're happening right now. So you analyze every decision, replay conversations, and second-guess yourself again. You're constantly in your own head, losing hours of your day to endless intrusive thoughts, doubt spirals, and “what ifs”. Your OCD or anxiety has slowly taken over more and more of your life and you feel stuck, hopeless, and don't know where to go from here.

If you’re feeling stuck in cycles around food and body image, you're definitely not alone. Many of the people I work with feel discouraged by what seems like a never-ending battle against themselves, their eating disorder behaviors, and sometimes even their treatment providers. They are often searching for a way to approach recovery that feels individualized and sustainable. As an eating disorder therapist, I attempt to provide a safe and non-punitive space for clients to discover what recovery looks like for them.

Psychosis is a treatable condition. I truly believe this because I have seen recovery and restoration of functioning happen for many of the clients I have worked with in both inpatient and outpatient settings over the years. I am delighted to now be offering my services in the private practice setting.

Feeling connected and comfortable with your therapist is an essential part of treatment and healing. Using a relational approach, I try to create an environment that helps people work on deeply personal and challenging issues. My particular areas of interest and experience include grief and loss, relationships, depression, anxiety, ADHD, adolescent and parenting issues, and identity/sexuality issues. I recently published my first book on sibling loss, "Surviving Sibling Loss: The Invisible Thread that Connects Us Through Life and Death." (Available on Amazon)

Welcome, I’m Abby (she/her), a queer therapist who works with LGBTQIA+ folks and people navigating life transitions. If you’re exploring identity or feeling stuck between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I focus on helping you untangle the stories that no longer fit so you can move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentically yours.

Together, we slow things down, make space for your full experience, and build clarity, self-trust, and direction.
