Therapists in Sacramento, CA

One of my greatest passions in life is my work as a therapist. With warmth, humor and compassion, I help others to heal and move forward in their lives. Perhaps, you are feeling "stuck"- overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety or depression, relationship problems, issues related to aging or chronic illness. loneliness, grief or a vague sense that something feels "off." Coping with life's daily stresses can take a toll on your quality of life, making it increasingly difficult to find & experience meaning and joy. These are difficult times, difficult issues, & sometimes it's hard to get through them alone.

Sometimes life can come at us fast. It can be hard, unpredictable, scary and even beautiful all at the same time. Therapy exists as a place to heal, develop self awareness and navigate life’s challenges in a safe, non judgmental and supportive space. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, adjusting to becoming a new or single parent, recovering from trauma or need support processing a loss such as a divorce or miscarriage, I am dedicated to meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we can process and unpack feelings, thoughts, behaviors and patterns you no longer want to carry on your journey to healing.

Congratulations on taking this first step towards re-authoring your life. In my practice I avoid labeling as much as possible, as the negative labels we assign ourselves often hold us back. I have a diverse experience and have found that it is important for me to be diverse with my approach. I will meet you where you are and be creative with my interventions. You are unique and so our work together shall be. Come as you are and without judgments we will move you on the path of health and wellness towards your goals.

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.

Whether it's a relationship challenge, depression, grief and loss or anxiety, we all face moments in life where we feel overwhelmed and unable to move forward. Confronting emotional challenges through therapy takes a great deal of strength and courage. It would be an honor to accompany you on your journey towards healing, empowerment, and change. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you are able to be your authentic self, while exploring your feelings, hopes, and struggles. I approach each client with respect, cultural sensitivity, and support.

I am passionate about working with people who are feeling lost within themselves. Navigating through life’s challenges can be increasingly difficult when you feel a loss of connection to who you are at your core. Emotions can be confusing, leaving people feeling helpless, stuck, and alone. I am determined to collaborate and help guide you through understanding the beauty of being a complex person with the ability to feel in control and powerful in the face of adversity.

We are all an incredible kaleidoscope of identities we hold, experiences we've had, people we love & things we believe. There is no one right way to be, but there is an incredible release that comes with accepting yourself exactly the way you are. Therapy with me is not the cookie-cutter experience you may have had in the past. In this room, I show up in a real and authentic way to help you do the work of uncovering what makes you feel whole. My clients look to me as someone to help them debunk the lies they believe about themselves, rewrite their stories, find hope in the midst of loss & discover a new perspective.

When you need help - and all of us need help sometime - you want to tell your story to someone who is warm and supportive. Someone who is intelligent, trained, and familiar with the problems you face. These problems may involve family or marital relationships, insecurity, anxiety, depression, loss, or grief. Or the problems may be specific to people undergoing divorce, immigrants struggling with American language and culture, or artists striving to make their mark. All of us want someone on our side who is caring and helpful, someone who can clarify and show the way. My goal is to be that person for my clients.

This is why I went back to school, so I could study for myself the science of healing and help others heal as well. There is a lot in life to process, anxiety, grief, depression, intergenerational trauma as well as physical and emotional pain.

I assist people in finding ways to triumph over the difficulties of living in healthy relationships. Having had a Canadian mother and lived in four distinct regions of the United States as well as Germany before coming to California I draw from my multicultural life experiences which also encompass 47 years of marriage, 4 adult children and Hi Tech work for 25 years.

I promote growth and healing through compassionate insight, reflection and strategic direction! Acquired Knowledge seems most beneficial when put to use to benefit ourselves or others, for as we serve and engage with others, we more readily discover our true selves. I subscribe to Emerson's notion; "Do the thing, and you will have the power" rather than give me the power and then I will act! I enjoy being a contributing factor to others growth and advancement and relish witnessing the blossoming of added confidence, enhanced self-esteem. and true growth!
