Teletherapy for West Sacramento, CA

Are you feeling stressed, frustrated or unhappy? Have you experienced overwhelming situations and feel like you've lost part of yourself? The discomfort of uncertainty can become almost unbearable, leaving you unable to figure out what comes next. You’re seeking support to help you feel okay again. I get it. But we all have the inner capacity to process trauma, heal from loss, and discover our truth. Therapy is a safe space for you to feel seen, heard & understood. You deserve to feel grounded and empowered. Insight and understanding of your mind-body-spirit connections are key components toward acceptance and change.

Are intense emotions, fearfulness or being easily triggered disrupting your ability to achieve goals and have meaningful relationships? Are you looking for a way to improve your daily life? Fear, reactivity, anxiety, panic, unhealthy communication patterns, excessive worry and sadness, can be a result of negative experiences or trauma which make it difficult to achieve goals and have meaningful relationships . Therapy can help to improve your ability to achieve goals and have healthy relationships by identifying underlying issues, helping you to develop relational skills while learning strategies to cope with triggers.

A solid therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in therapy. I am glad that you are seeking more information to see if we might be a good fit to work together in meeting your goals. I will keep it brief as some clients prefer to know very little about me. Others seek more information...so if there are any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.​I was born into a large midwestern family. After high school, I headed to the east coast where I attended the United States Naval Academy.

Thinking of seeking therapy with a professional that can assist in providing suggestions on how to improve your daily living, decision making, relationships, and career choices? Do you want help with learning coping skills that can aid you during stressful times, your anxiety, depression, and/or trauma? Or, just want someone to talk to that can remain neutral when sharing complex issues or mental health struggles?

Introducing a Holistic Approach to Addiction Recovery! Are you ready to break free from the chains of addiction? Experience a transformational journey towards lasting recovery with my addiction counseling services rooted in powerful New Thought principles! I understand that addiction is not just a physical battle but also a deeply ingrained mindset. That's why I offer a groundbreaking approach that combines traditional counseling techniques with the transformative power of New Thought philosophy. I am a compassionate counselor and will guide you through a personalized recovery plan, tailored to address your unique needs.

I provide therapy using a collaborative and integrative approach. This means that I actively listen to your goals to tailor an individual treatment plan that meets your needs. I specialize in individual therapy and sport/mental performance skills training. I also offer adult neuropsychology evaluations and specialize in assessing for ADHD, dementia, learning disabilities, concussions/TBI, stroke, and more. I also provide cognitive rehabilitation, which means that after an evaluation, I can provide additional support with learning cognitive coping strategies.

I have expertise in marriage counseling and individual therapy, in which I specialize. Couples counseling is considered short-term, generally between 10 and 25 sessions. I focus on advancing communication skills, intimacy, trust, parenting skills, values clarification, resolving conflict, and building a marital vision. I also specialize in family-of-origin issues (relationship issues, generational problems, rejection complex, identity/ self-esteem concerns, and physical and sexual abuse).

I currently have limited availability for online coparenting cases only. My practice specializes in high-conflict matters including the treatment of high-risk behaviors, and high-conflict family problems within and outside of the family and criminal court systems. The process of reunification and co-parenting is complex and therefore, I do not bill insurance for these services. I offer these services in-person in CA, but also strive to reunify families from Nevada and Oregon as I am licensed in all three states; telehealth is used in most cases.

At Bridges of the Mind our ideal client would be an individual who is seeking a psychological or educational assessment to better understand their strengths and weaknesses. We specialize in neurodevelopment disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, and Learning Disorders. Our assessments are available for the lifespan. We also offer Barton Reading Tutoring and Social Skills Groups.

I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and grow, and my role as a therapist is to help facilitate that process. It can be difficult to begin to open up and work on pain that has harmed us for so long. My place is to walk along side you during your time of need and in your time of comfort. I create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Our group of therapists are available to see adults, teens, children, couples, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, hoarding, parenting concerns, co-parenting, panic attacks, school issues, relationship issues, family communication, conflict management, parent/teen conflict, and anger management. They also have experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors and the family who support them.

HI! I seek to help you to determine & embrace who you are while also learning to create a centered picture/narrative you choose to want.  This is true for those in relationships that might feel lonely, or separate from their partner and seek a connection, to those who might feel lost in their own skin, job, the world, and looking for some sense of direction. There are those who suffer from lack of relationships either intimate, friendship and with their family, as well as those who have suffered from traumatic experiences, and would like to work through them in order to create their own idealistic place of happiness.

Speak Life is a Psychotherapy and Assessment service that teaches a variety of therapeutic skills to help you experience growth and healing.

I enjoy supporting individuals, couples, and families from all age groups and all ethnic backgrounds. I firmly believe that we all possess unique strengths and expertise that we might tap into to support our healing and growth, therefore, focusing our therapeutic relationship approach on strength-based by supporting you to develop the desire you seek. I provide an unbiased, non-judgmental, and safe environment to explore our perceived challenges. I strive to empower your mental and holistic health to uncover the light that shines within you.

I help women to better manage parenting, while maintaining her work/life balance. Is this you? Marriage and parenting are difficult. Often it is hard to find the energy to be patient, creative or loving. Do you struggle with solo parenting and feeling unseen? Do you want to feel more connected with your spouse? Do you want to feel like "you" again? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression and / or have experienced trauma but haven't "faced" it because "there is not enough time" or because you've "dealt with it this long", I get it and I can help you find the joy in your life again.

My path into mental health was inspired by my desire to help others achieve a life of fulfillment and balance. I learned that sexuality, gender identity, self expression and relationship intelligence are importance concepts when identifying individual life satisfaction. These topics can often times be taboo to discuss in our society, leading to feelings of guilt/shame, increased isolation and loneliness. My goal is to normalize these conversations and therapy.

As a queer, neurodivergent therapist who found myself in the mental health field as a result of a gamut of lived experience – I know too well how difficult it can be to find a therapeutic space where you “fit.” This world is heavy enough without the added difficulty of summoning the strength to reach out for help, only to feel like you must change yourself to access therapeutic support. It’s a terrible, gut-wrenching feeling that I have personally experienced. This will not happen with me.

The most powerful skill a counselor may provide for clients is being present with them when they are working through life's challenging moments.
