Therapists in Sacramento, CA

I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals who are seeking healing and change. Anxiety, panic, depression, conflict, stress, impact of trauma, OCD, and communication challenges are all areas where I can be most effective working with my patients.

Life can be challenging, exciting, and downright hard. In my practice, I would like to offer a compassionate space for you to work on who would like to be and mange the stressors life throws your way. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Self-Regulation Techniques, amongst others including Brainspotting, to provide you with an opportunity to identify your emotions, your struggles, and your goals.

At East Bay Center for Anxiety Relief, we work with adults, children, teens, couples, and families. We also facilitate periodic groups focused on communication skills, social skills, anxiety, depression, and working women. We strive for mindful, efficient, and effective therapy. Our clinicians are trained in research-based models such as TEAM-CBT, ACT and Gottman couples/family models. We work a bit differently than more traditional practices. We don’t cram an hour of therapy into 50 minutes. Instead, we provide full 60-, 75-, or 90-minute sessions.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an important piece of the process through which growth and healing can occur. Helping clients to feel safe enough to share their feelings is paramount, and to offer hope is vital. It is important for the fearful to know that courage is being afraid, but doing it anyway. This concept promotes self esteem, and helps people to move forward in their lives. I use a variety of theoretical orientations, but chose the ones that are best suited for my client needs. I give clients tools to work with that will help them change their negative thoughts to positive ones..
