I specialize in working with teens. Life consistently requires us to adjust and that is hard. Are you struggling in your relationship or in your ability to communicate with your spouse, teen or parents? Do you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help yourself or a loved one? At times nothing seems to work. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary and I realize there are many options. Anxiety, depression, low confidence/self esteem, anger issues, decision making, mood disorders, poor communication skills, addiction and behavioral issues are some of the things I can help with. Over 15 years working with teens.

Life’s struggles and uncertainties can feel overwhelming and inescapable. Do you experience anxiety? Are you feeling depressed? Are you struggling with parenting or relationships? I’m here to tell you there is hope. I take a client centered approach to therapy to ensure that you feel heard and understood.

Hello and Welcome. I believe that we are all capable of change. I provide a safe, compassionate environment for people to experience hope, healing and freedom. I have worked extensively with people suffering from anxiety, depression, codependency, eating disorders, sexual abuse and trauma. In my 17 year career, I have worked at universities, counseling centers, as a social worker and now in private practice. Clients respond to my relational style, empathetic and active engagement in their life and process. My hope is that if you are reading this, that you would step further into bravery and begin the journey.

I offer tele-counseling services to clients who are motivated to address issues impacting their lives and relationships with others. I treat adults, children, and adolescents with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, life stresses, phase of life issues, parenting struggles, adjustment issues, and post-divorce counseling.

Did the feeling you have for your spouse fizzle out? Do you feel like you want to throw in the towel? It's time to learn new ways to regain that spark and fill your heart with joy again. It can be difficult to find the right therapist who will help instill hope and guide you to a healthier relationship. I hope to be that person for you.

You are struggling. Your life isn't what you want it to be. We can help! We specialize in anxiety, depression, couples issues, addictions, sleep problems, concussion, ADD, and trauma. We are friendly and goal-oriented. I have 20 years experience working with adults, teens, and children. And, if you wish, we can also integrate neurofeedback training into our work together. Neurofeedback uses the EEG (which neurologists also use) to teach you to change brainwave patterns that keep you from being your best. I studied Neurofeedback at San Francisco State University, and am Board Certified in Biofeedback.

I enjoy helping people with a variety of problems. I appreciate a collaborative approach so we can target issues together. I utilize integrative counseling methodologies such as DBT, CBT, ACT, behavior change, feelings-based and thought-based approaches. I also offer deeper work looking at past influences as well.

It is my belief that we all possess the strengths and abilities necessary to overcome whatever challenges we may face during our lifetime. Sometimes we may lose sight of this through the many struggles life can throw at us and need the assistance and support of someone who has the knowledge and tools to help us realize our abilities, get "unstuck", and achieve our goals. I work collaboratively with you to remove obstacles and work toward realizing a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

I believe our mutual job is to work together to help you find the best ways of dealing effectively with your problem. Sometimes, although we may know the answers to our problems, we have never been taught the skills to implement that knowledge. Part of my job is to use my expertise and education to teach those skills. For example, we may realize we are being misunderstood by others and work hard to be understood, but no matter how hard we try, nothing changes. Teaching communication skills is one of my areas of expertise that may prove useful.

I love working will clients to fulfill their goals and dreams. We work together to overcome life challenges that is individual to everyone. Some of the obstacles include anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, overwhelm, anger, and emotional reactivity. Each treatment plan, like each client is unique and I cater our time together to be ideal to reach your potential. I have lot of experiences with youth, teens, and young adults. I feel confident in helping you through any life challenge or struggle and can help guide you on a new and helpful path.

My goal is to offer a compassionate and supportive environment for people to experience change. Change and growth can take a different form with each unique person or couple. Growth can be seen in the different perception about a ongoing issue, a greater insight into ones emotional experience, or through actions taken towards a new direction. I recognize that throughout life there are many moments that come unexpectedly and a supportive grace filled relationship is helpful in finding direction and pursuing change.

We believe that all too often money is the deciding factor in access to counseling services. It is important to us that all people who want a secure, supportive place to learn new skills, heal wounds, and make changes in their lives have a SAFE and AFFORDABLE place to go! We have formed Hearts and Hands Counseling, a non-profit counseling agency, to provide low-cost counseling services to the local community.

We all strive to be happy in life. Unfortunately life is full of unpredictable struggles that get in the way of our path to happiness. To gain true happiness we must learn how to love ourselves. Loving ourselves starts with self-understanding and believing in ourselves. Struggles unfortunately make us believe that things are not meant to be, or that we will simply never be happy. This negative pattern of thinking is what keeps us from finding happiness. Remember, we have all the tools within us to achieve happiness and create the life we love.

Please note: I am no longer accepting clients at this time. Background: I have provided family, couples and eating disorder services in the greater Sacramento area for almost 15 years. As someone in recovery myself, I understand the need for effective treatment, provided in a safe and healing environment. To that end, I have obtained extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and completed my certification in Family-Based Treatment, an evidenced-based treatment for adolescents. My passion for family work and experiential, hands-on exercises help clarify complex family issues and create an environment where healing occurs.

I felt called to become a marriage/family therapist when the decision to change careers didn't make sense. I ran a successful computer company, fresh off of a decade as an executive for a software company. I had a love for the study of people, and relationships, having received my bachelor's from the University of Utah in MassComm with a minor in Psychology. I was in a wonderful relationship, having a safe environment to share hopes, dreams, fears struggles... I realized that not everyone had this support in place to process highs, lows, and to learn to grow.
