Native American Therapists in Shasta County, CA

I support individuals who seek relief from emotional distress. Difficult life events can challenge our ability to remain hopeful. We might experience loneliness, apathy, and possible conflict within relationships. Traumatic memories, intrusive thoughts, negative self-talk, and unhealthy coping can adversely impact functioning and overall well-being. It is my priority to offer compassionate support while exploring challenges and strengths. I enjoy facilitating the expansion of awareness through emotional processing and building your wellness tools.

I am extremely passionate about empowering individuals, couples and families to heal and live their best, most authentic lives. I strongly believe that each and every individual, regardless of background, ability, or beliefs, should have a safe space where they can feel comfortable being their true self. I know that sitting across from someone with similar experiences can help to build trust and promote connection, and am therefore deeply committed to holding space for those who need to be heard.

Let's put the "Soul" back into therapy. Psychotherapy....Psycho(of the soul) therapy(healing)....Soul healing! Anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship issues, you name it, I'll help you heal through it. Let my 20 plus years as a spiritually/culturally oriented somatic therapist work for you. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but this time you are looking for something different. Something more…that will speak to your soul and energize your spirit. You would like to tap into your innate power to attract and maintain emotional balance, success, wealth and healthy relationships. There is hope! You don’t have to do this alone!

I have been working in mental health for nearly 30 years. I developed a holistic psychology practice over 20 years ago to help my clients get the best results. Holistic means treating the whole person; mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of someone's life to find the root cause of symptoms. I am also a clinical nutritionist focusing on helping to educate about detox and balance brain chemistry with vitamins, minerals and amino acids and eating for optimal health. I focus on root cause of symptoms, doing progressive trauma interventions. Trauma is about times in your life in which your nervous system becomes dysregulated.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, and anger issues, identifying coping skills, building relationship skills, identifying client strengths, increasing self-care tools, building self-esteem, and teaching meditation skills, grounding, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques. I help to reduce trauma symptoms by helping clients to learn self-regulation skills.

Please email only, easiest to reach me. I’m offering telehealth only at this time. I have been working with individuals and families for two decades. My current specialties include individuals and elders. My training is primarily attachment-based, relational, and emotionally focused therapy as well as jungian focus. And I am fascinated with how we are going to all age well in this culture, so I very much enjoy working with people adjusting to later life. I have also learned since a fairly young age that there is a ton of grief we all need to attend to, I appreciate offering support while people are dealing with pain.

There are a lot of reasons to seek therapy, and improved relationships can help most all of them. Repetitive patterns from trauma or a diminished connection with a loved one can drain the resiliency and joy from your daily life. It can seem like you're stuck with unmet needs, feeling like you can't get it right, or that you are the only one who cares about the relationship. You ever wonder how people who love each other so much can argue so intensely? I strive to help you move from ineffective dependency to effective dependence.

The world around us, and we as individuals, are going through tremendous social and ecological changes. I support individuals experiencing eco-despair, eco-rage, and eco-anxiety arising from eco-empathy, a deep care and concern for the Earth. I have extensive background in working with trauma, especially complex/relational trauma and adverse early childhood experiences. As a marriage and family therapist, I work with people of all relationship styles to foster and build “custom relationships” that work for their personal needs and life circumstances. LGBTQI/CNM celebrating and support spiritual, religious, and cultural diversity.

I offer you a 'strength based' therapy. I use support, introspection, assessment, direction and referral as a way to bring change to your life. We all experience loss, doubt, changes in our life beyond our control. For some people 'Therapy' is a place to re-charge. For others is it a vital experience needed to explore core issues ( trauma ) and re-organize their sense of self and move forward. I believe I offer a safe place online for you to grow. Online Zoom sesions only. I enjoy working on issues of anxiety, depression, relationships and parenting. I am a survivor of the Camp Fire and feel qualified to work with other survivors.

In the realm of psychotherapy, I firmly believe in fostering a trusting relationship as the foundation for healing and personal growth. I am genuinely passionate about providing a caring, honest, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can embark on their journey towards living their best lives. With an integrated therapeutic approach, I address the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. I believe in personalized care.

Life got you down! Dreading waking up in the morning to another dreadful day. Tried everything only to find yourself having to go through another day like this. Telling yourself " I don't know what to do anymore". "Nobody understands how I am feeling". " I need help" "I just can't keep feeling this way" "I feel so hopeless about my situation" People around me are starting to notice something is wrong and asking if I am okay. I lie and tell them everything is fine. But on the inside I'm not fine. I have got to get some help, but where......
