Life can feel heavy and unpredictable. You may be living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or the effects of trauma, wondering if things will ever change. You might feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or overwhelmed by stress and life transitions. Whatever you are carrying, you do not have to face it alone. As the owner and founder of Crosstown Psychology in Sacramento, I am here to help. I am a dual-licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 15 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults move through challenges and create lasting change.
Therapy with me is collaborative and personalized. I believe you are the expert on your life, and my role is to offer tools, insight, and encouragement to help you move forward. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, EMDR therapy, Illness Management & Recovery (IMR), and solution-focused strategies to help you break unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.
Most clients begin noticing shifts in how they think and feel within the first month. At Crosstown Psychology, we make therapy accessible with in-person sessions in Sacramento, online appointments across California, and flexible scheduling, including evenings and some weekends. Your first 15-minute consultation is free. Start your healing journey today.
