Marriage Counseling Therapists in Sacramento, CA
Over 10 years of experience; youth, adolescents/teens, families, individuals, and couples.
“Change Your Thoughts and You’ll Change Your World”. My goal is to offer and provide support within the therapeutic relationship that allows for you to gain insight on discovering your needs. I believe everyone needs support but struggles with how to ask for help. In my practices I provide the time and space for you to feel heard, supported, and most importantly I provide empathy. Empathy is a powerful word as it defines the ability to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone might be thinking or feeling. I always try to create a warm, heartening, and empathetic environment with every client.

I support children, individuals, couples, and families, honoring the unique dynamics and experiences each person brings.
If you feel ready or gently curious about exploring yourself more deeply and engaging in personal growth and healing, I'm here for you. I work well with those who have lived through challenging experiences that may have left them feeling lost, stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. I am especially drawn to supporting people who are reflective, as well as those who have spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood or unseen.

I use my personal, educational, and professional experiences and strong attunement to my intuition to guide my therapy style. My clients describe me as caring, personable, gentle, and real. My sessions are collaborative, empowerment-based, and include moments of humor. Due to my value of cultural humility, I use holistic (mind-body-spirit-soul), trauma-informed, and social justice approaches to establish a soulful connection and unique healing experience for each person I support. Working with diverse populations and mental health settings (i.e. college, inpatient, healthcare, etc.) also allows me to be adaptable to each client.

You're queer, you're "weird," you knew you were different before we had the term "nuero-divergent." You're genderqueer, you're a witch, you're creative, you're an activist. This world doesn't fit you, and that's really the problem. But, you were told that you needed to change to fit this world. You're not the problem and neither is the way you're built. But, you hold shame from a life-time of being told you are the problem and need to be different. The lack of attunment and understanding from those around you has been isolating and led to depression and anxiety.

Old memories, painful experiences, or anxious/depressive thoughts can keep us feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. If this sounds familiar, know that there is a way through.I specialize in helping clients heal from trauma and break free from patterns that no longer serve them.

Audre Lorde wrote, “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives”. I believe and practice from this framework. We are relational beings connected to each other and society. At the intersections of ourselves and community, we may meet Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and complex Relationships. Getting to know these Problems helps us to understand their origins and find solutions.
