Therapists in Midtown, Sacramento, CA

I have worked in the field of social work for over 20+ years providing case management services and therapeutic interventions. I believe that finding balance in life is important for overall health: mind, body & spirit. I practice mindfulness daily within my own life. Life is a journey that we experience moment to moment. My role as a therapist is to help guide my clients to learn to be present in the moment and to work towards closing the chapter/s on past moments which cause imbalance in their present lives. Be well and be kind to yourself.

When you're struggling, it takes courage to let go of what's limiting you to make room for a fulfilling life. I can collaborate with you in the process of identifying, understanding, and reworking ineffective patterns and building new skills and behavior to create the meaningful and satisfying life experiences you desire.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.

I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.
