Codependency Therapists in Campus Commons, Sacramento, CA

Thinking about finding a therapist can be a challenging task. Will I like this person? Will he or she treat me with kindness and respect? Will this person judge me or make me feel worse than I already feel? Do I even need therapy? Do not let these thoughts deny you the opportunity of developing a healthy therapeutic relationship with a therapist that you trust. It is within the safety of this unique relationship that positive, life changes can occur. Please take time to read about my practice below and see if I would be a good fit for you.

Guess what? There is nothing wrong with you! Many people come to therapy because they don’t like aspects of themselves. And that makes sense! It’s very normal that when we are hurting, we can feel like we are the problem. The thing is, most of our “problems” (i.e. the disconnection from our emotions and our bodies, the depression/anxiety, the addictions and compulsions, the relationship struggles) all originate as adaptations to difficult life experiences, to relational wounding and betrayals. They are not wrong; they came about as sources of protection.

Your new life can start today! Change your life for the better! Uncover underlying meaning and deepen your self awareness in a supportive therapeutic environment. Understand your subconscious better through resolving childhood issues and becoming more present and mindful in your current relationships. Realize your potential. I specialize in individual therapy focused on people who are experiencing life change and/or transitions, depression and anxiety. Rediscover the joy in your relationships. Overcome depression and grief. Find relief from anxiety and stress. Control eating urges. Access adaptive thoughts.

So often we compromise our own needs to please someone else. We might have learned to do this as children to get along with our parents and family members. As we move into adulthood, this habit stays with us and can cause us to feel lonely, confused, not good enough, and a sense that something important is missing in our lives.

Are you struggling with anxiety, self doubt, depression, or stress? Are you dealing with past trauma that continues to affect your day to day? As an experienced holistic psychologist, I’ve helped hundreds of clients from teens to adults in dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, loneliness, depression, grief and relationship issues. As a meditation/yoga teacher, I blend psychology with various mind-body therapies to assist clients in gaining holistic tools for managing the tough times. Treatment typically begins with traditional psychotherapy but can also include mind body therapies (meditation & breathwork & brainspotting.

Are you feeling hopeless and stuck? Is trauma impacting you from living a fulfilled life? Are you struggling with your relationships with family and friends? Are you being triggered daily and reliving old trauma? Do you want to thrive instead of struggle? Traumatic experiences can impact every facet of our current lives if it hasn’t been processed. If you have experienced trauma that inhibits you to live in the moment and thrive instead of struggle, maybe it's time to begin therapy. Processing traumatic experiences can improve your perception of yourself and can positively impact your relationships with people in your life.

As a therapist specializing in first responders & their families, I offer a safe space to process trauma, manage stress (PTSD, anxiety, depression), & rebuild connections. Using techniques like Brainspotting & CBT, I empower you to heal & thrive.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, career issues, grief/bereavement, gains and losses, self-esteem and body image issues, and trauma. I work collaboratively with clients in order to empower them to be their best selves. I use a client-centered approach to counsel and address clients’ unique challenges from developmental, cultural, and psychological viewpoints. I help clients to see what is in their control to change and where it may help to practice acceptance.

Compassionate, experienced, effective.... I help clients to reduce worries, anxiety, panic, social discomfort or isolation, adjust to life transitions, soften grief and bereavement, and to transcend past emotional injuries.

I bring compassion and understanding to every concern.

I believe that each of us feels most alive and fulfilled when actively pursuing the genuine expression of one's self. My role as therapist is to assist you in attaining this expression. Many symptoms such as depression, anxiety or self-destructiveness, arise when one is not acting in accordance with one's authentic self. Therapy will help identify what blocks this self-expression and gently challenge you toward greater self knowledge. We'll work together to identify your unique path toward self realization.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust.

Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

I believe the answers we are searching for are found within ourselves. It may take the support and trust of a skillful therapist in feeling safe in revealing our true selves and bringing purpose and meaning to our lives. By uncovering the blocks and developing the courage to shine a light on our authentic self, you discover the self you have been seeking. I'll support you in developing a plan that best serves your goals towards a path of self discovery and empowerment. I feel personal growth is connected to mind, body and spirit.

With nearly 20 years in the helping profession, I am honored to help create a safe place for you to come and not only feel supported but also address change and grow. It takes a great deal of courage to seek help and I can help you to find your strength to heal and meet your goals.

I have over 40 years of experience working in the Holistic Health field, and so I draw from many different modalities where we explore together what is needed for change and growth. I believe that what is true for each person can be found within, so my job is to help you explore and find those answers and insights that lead to growth. I also offer a deeply personal and interactive relationship where I seek to provide the safety for this exploration, as well as the opportunity to have an experience of a relationship that is both corrective and healing.

I believe we all have a wise woman or wise man inside us who tells us our truth. Most of us have been conditioned to disregard this inner voice. My goal is to ask the questions that enable you to know what is true for you and to provide the support you need to act on this truth.
