Couples Counseling Therapists in Sacramento, CA

I have a strong interest in working with individuals who have faced trauma, especially sexual trauma, to help them rediscover their voice and feel heard. As well as, couples who are struggling with connection, infidelity and more. I acknowledge that every individual is unique and has their own story.

Let’s be real. Life-ing ain’t easy, and it can be especially challenging if you’re neurodivergent living in a neurotypical world. When you feel like a fish tasked with climbing a tree and you just can’t seem to ever get it right, it would make sense that things like anxiety, overwhelm, depression, burnout, relationship issues, and that gnawing sensation of not-enoughness start to show up. It can be exhausting, but you don’t have to go it alone. To feel seen and heard by another can ease the path to greater acceptance, authenticity, well-being, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

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.

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.

I believe that we each have an innate force that drives us towards wholeness and the fulfillment of our individual  potential. However, life experiences can lead to a break from our personal experience of the soul, resulting in a deep sense of loss and isolation from self and others. I work collaboratively with my clients to remove obstacles that block the connection to a deeper experience of the soul and authentic self, and then move towards the realization of a fulfilling and purposeful life.

I am accepting new clients! I have had the privilege of working with a diverse set of clients with a wide range of backgrounds and needs.

My approach to psychotherapy is based on a relational model. I have found this model to be necessary for permanent change. How people relate to others is formed in the relationship patterns they experienced as a child. We spend years learning how to behave in certain ways, and it can take some time and effort to learn new ways to interact with others. Further, for lasting change, we must experience new ways of interacting with others; in short, a therapist. If you have questions about how my approach to therapy might be helpful to you, please contact me. Thanks.
