Teletherapy for Folsom, CA

Investing in yourself is of utmost priority in order to have the patience, energy and ability to invest in the lives of those around you. I find it an honor to walk through the journey of strengthening you by defining what you want your life to look and feel like, and how to obtain that goal. Whether you are seeking support as a couple, individual or family, I will provide and teach you the skills and insight necessary to maintain balanced and healthy relationships.

I am a licensed Psychologist and have specialized training in End-of Life transition, Bereavement, EMDR, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Though I treat many types of clients, I specialize in working with people going through difficult times in their lives to include loss of a loved one or pet, illness, divorce or relationship disruptions, job loss, depression, and other life transitions. I love my work because, although I initially see people at a low point in their life, as we work together in a deeper way over time, they often find the courage and skills to make a lasting change.

I am a licensed and skilled therapist who is dedicated to meeting you where you are at in life. With over a decade of experience supporting clients of all ages and backgrounds through nonprofits, schools, and agencies, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges and struggles that people face. In October 2021, I started my private practice, where I offer individual or family therapy via videocall or in the community, primarily utilizing attachment and trauma-informed therapy.

I specialize in working with individual adults and adolescents. I have over 20 years of experience providing support to clients looking to resolve challenges and intentionally create the lives and relationships they want. My goal is to provide a warm, understanding, and nonjudgmental environment where my clients can heal and grow. I use a straightforward, practical and solution-focused approach to help clients resolve current problems as well as long-standing patterns.

The search for a therapist can be difficult, so I am very glad you're here. I have over 15 years of experience in treating children and adolescents through an attachment and relational parent-child lens. I incorporate parenting support into each session in order to best support both you and your child. Much of my therapy with children also includes family therapy as I view parents and families as an integral part of treatment. When working with adults, the work tends to be longer term. I use an attachment and values based lens to get to the core of what my clients are struggling with in order to create new, healthier patterns.

I offer warm, insightful, and collaborative psychotherapy to help my clients change behaviors and patterns, become unstuck, and improve the quality of their life & relationships. My work focuses on major issues including trauma, couples & families in crisis, separation/divorce, attachment, abandonment, grief & loss, life transitions, intimacy issues, anxiety & depression, spirituality, and premarital counseling. My goal is to help adolescents, individuals, couples & families find healthier ways of communicating, heal from their past and to regain the ability to live fully with themselves as well as others.

In my work as a therapist I have found my true passion in helping people find happier, healthier, and more productive lives. I love working with people in all stages of life and all states of healing. I love working with teenagers, parents, individuals and married and co-parenting couples coming alongside them in their difficulties and heartbreak with the goal of finding true joy again. I believe that the connection you have with your therapist makes all the difference in the world. In our journey together I take a very client-centered, collaborative approach to understanding and identifying your unique goals and needs.

Today you are one step closer to helping your child and family get back on a positive path to growth and well-being. Life can take many turns and you may find that your child needs extra help dealing with daily struggles. You may notice your child having a harder time in areas that used to be easy for them. You may also notice your child regressing to old ways of coping that you thought they had out grown. Or perhaps there has been a major change or loss in the family, and you are just not sure that your child is processing it well.

My philosophy is to encourage individuals and couples to locate and strengthen their mindset, and relationship to develop healthy understanding of your needs and how to begin to meet those needs. My approach is utilizing traditional talk therapy, with mindfulness, and meeting you were you are now. Assisting you in creating the goals of your desires for your life.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can come as you are, share your real self and find acceptance and practical tools for growth. Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed, it means the damage no longer controls your life. I can offer you the professionalism of high quality therapy mixed with my own joy and passion for working with people.

Do you ever wish someone truly understood what you're going through? Relationships are hard. Life is hard. Being alone in it is even harder. Sometimes we all need help figuring things out or how to move forward. What is influencing your present? Our past is not suppose to dictate our present or future, but as we all know, it does. Our life was not meant to be filled with sadness, fear, or regrets. Good communication, fulfilling relationships, and sense of wholeness are all possible. What about loss? Sometimes we can't get back what we want, but if we get stuck in grief we end losing more. With help, life can get better.

“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.” My clinical experience includes working with adults, children, adolescents or families who are struggling with challenging behaviors, toxic relationships and/or complex emotions. These struggles can cause profound sadness that physically hurts inside of you. I specialize in flushing out negative thought patterns and working through traumatic experiences that keeps individuals, families and couples feeling struck in an emotional vortex and trapped in recycling toxic behaviors. By working together, we can unlock your courage to ask. Everything you need to heal is inside of you!

If you have struggled with over eating for what feels like your entire life, you aren't alone! In fact, millions of people report that their relationship with food is one of the areas of their lives they would change the most if they could. What most people don't know is that your issues with food aren't really about 'the food'. People, woman in particular, who have disordered eating habits almost always struggle with anxiety, tend to have poor boundaries and people please, and have a belief system (or storyline) that is keeping them from healing past hurts or traumas, move forward, and find food freedom.
