American Sign Language (ASL) Therapists in Sacramento, CA

I believe healing happens when you make a connection with another person where you can be yourself, feel valued, listened to, and cared for. Working with a therapist can be a way to access the healing you desire and deserve. In our work together we can look at ALL the aspects of you, without judgement (even the parts you don't LOVE). When the totality of you is allowed to be seen, heard and cared for, a shift happens--that's where the healing happens. While you don't need to do a "Big Dig" to examine your past, you CAN change the way the past impacts the present. If you're up for making art, that's great--and it's not required.

Trauma, relationships, substance use, and life events can pose significant challenges to our well-being. I firmly believe in the healing power of a purpose-driven life and its potential to instill resilience and confidence. Choosing the right therapist is a crucial first step towards such a journey. I have a variety of training including the Gottman Method of couples therapy to help you with real tools to help you reach your goals. I help children, teens, adults, families and couples. I am skilled in coparenting, reunification and family counseling as well. You will find me accepting and compassionate and a place where you are heard

Welcome! What is a mosaic? It is little imperfect pieces of glass or tile that come together to form beautiful art. How can we create a mosaic within ourselves and in our lives? All the broken pieces of glass or tile can represent trauma, experiences, life journeys, parts of our self, etc. that we sometimes don't necessarily know how to understand them all to incorporate them into our sense of self. I have a passion for working with people to help put these pieces together in a way that creates the beautiful mosaic that is YOU!

THERAPY IS AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE SELF... The person that is most dependent on you is your future self. We don't often think of ourselves in this way, but the decisions we make as we move through our lives affect everything that comes after. This is why it is crucial that we treat ourselves with the same kindness and generosity we would show to anyone we dearly love. Often, our decisions are informed by old patterns of which we are not aware, and which were formed when we were quite young and lacked capacity for perspective or reflection.

Challenging situations can be nudges for you to take time and look inside to recognize them as opportunities to heal, grow, and to make changes needed to break free from feeling stuck, lead a more satisfying life, heal relationships, and bring you back to feeling like yourself again.

Couples: You used to be so in love and now it feels like you are living with a roommate or maybe even an enemy.
