Therapists in Midtown, Sacramento, CA

I help clients dealing with childhood trauma, a constant state of stress, anxiety, fatigue, or low self-worth get out of that survival mode and get back to being present and engaged in their lives. We are dealing with so many stressors nowadays, it's no wonder so many of us are experiencing nervous system dysregulation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-judgements. I use an integrative and nervous system-informed approach to help you move forward and feel more connected and regulated. We work together to find the source of your struggles for deeper change.

I treat adults suffering from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties in my midtown Sacramento office. I've found success working with intelligent people stuck in situations they can't think their way out of. I enjoy challenging cases and working with diverse clients. I enjoy LGBT clients, people struggling with existential issues, and busy people trying to balance life with career. I have extensive experience working with treatment-resistant Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorders and can often help clients with innovative treatments. I am also Past President of the Sacramento Valley Psychological Association.

While anxiety is a natural part of our human experience, chronic experiences of worry, perfectionism, panic, intrusive/unwanted thoughts & compulsions are not. Perhaps it’s hard to turn off your mind and keep your thoughts from racing. You may need new strategies to stop battling your brain and feel calm again. I offer proven stress and anxiety management techniques to help you find relief from your symptoms while helping you develop a new set of coping skills. I have experience treating teens, adults, college & graduate students, as well those who are relatively new to their intrusive/unwanted thought or phobic experiences.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are facing personal struggles or experiencing conflict in important relationships. I can help you identify the patterns in your life that are limiting you and guide you toward developing better coping skills to find healing in the difficult areas of your life. Through my extensive work with both children and families who have survived trauma and experienced chronic mental health challenges, I've learned effective strategies for supporting those who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parent-child conflict, relationship issues, and the effects of living with a painful past.

Life can bring us many challenges, at times leaving us feeling overwhelmed and out of balance. With over 20 years of experience as a clinical therapist, ongoing training in the newest cutting-edge therapies, and 25 years of Mindfulness practice, I use safe, gentle and highly effective approaches to help heal a variety of issues. My style is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and is based in body-mind therapies that go beyond "talk-therapy". I’m here to support you to mobilize your inner wisdom and resources to achieve a greater sense of freedom, self-confidence, and healthy connection to yourself and others.

Are you open to trying new ways of gaining an understanding of yourself to feel empowered with making positive changes in your life? Each of us have our own unique story in life and at times, we can be challenged with how we deal with the ups and downs of life. Sometimes life events can have an impact on how we relate with others, view the world and ourselves. Sometimes these ups and downs can bring on feelings of sadness, confusion and frustration - when this happens, the expertise of a Marriage and Family Therapist can help.

If any of this sounds familiar and you're ready to empower yourself and begin moving forward I am here to help you do that!

My path into mental health was inspired by my desire to help others achieve a life of fulfillment and balance. I learned that sexuality, gender identity, self expression and relationship intelligence are importance concepts when identifying individual life satisfaction. These topics can often times be taboo to discuss in our society, leading to feelings of guilt/shame, increased isolation and loneliness. My goal is to normalize these conversations and therapy.

I enjoy working with couples and families via telehealth to improve communication, rebuild trust, connection and intimacy while decreasing conflict, working toward compromise, and mutually feeling heard and understood. I work with couples and individuals to teach communication and conflict resolution skills, coping skills to manage stress, anxiety, and depression. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are ready to understand and change their relationship patterns and/or wanting to heal through past relationship trauma.

How do you envision your life? Are you struggling with co-parenting, relationship issues, anxiety or depression? It takes courage to envision and seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with adults, children, and families. My therapeutic style is straightforward, honest, and goal-oriented, and more often than not, there is room for humor and laughter in a therapy session.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I have been treating children, adolescents, young adults, and families for over 13 years. I practice from a client-centered approach where your needs and goals in treatment are primary. Each session we will check in to make sure what we are doing in your treatment is helping you meet your goals.

Do you find yourself in a constant state of ‘doing’ in order to stay regulated and out of your head? Are you trying to care less about what others think? I work best with individuals who refer to themselves as “over-thinkers” and are looking for new ways to manage the stress of day-to-day life. Contact me for a free consultation if you struggle with the nagging feeling of being disconnected from others, or if you wonder what it would feel like if you could break free from your inner critic and the feeling that you’re lacking despite a mountain of accomplishments. I offer Art Therapy if you'd like to tap into your creative wisdom.

Have you ever felt that life just hasn't been going the way you'd envisioned? That things seem "too hard to handle"? I'm here to help get you to a place of "feeling like yourself again." I am a therapist with over 12 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults. My main focus is to grow resiliency skills that you already possess, seek ways to self-care in order to manage stress, to help identify unmet needs, and find ways to get those needs met, improve communication skills, explore who you want to be, and how to get there.

My approach to therapy is to help each client adapt and grow from life's circumstances. I seek to help my clients thrive within their community and experience a grounded and vital sense of connectedness to self and all others. I utilize a holistic approach that embraces one's intersections and addresses mental, emotional, and somatic (bodily) experiences.

My primary experience focuses on adolescents, families, and individuals with trauma-based issues, depression, anxiety, and family dysfunction/conflict issues. I want my clients to be empowered throughout their therapy journey. We are capable of having big feelings AND doing hard things, such as facing our traumas or stress. Sometimes we feel stuck and don't know what to do, and that's where therapy is a great place to be; to learn insight to ourselves, create boundaries (with self and others), and experience all of what life has to offer.

My clinical focus is on achieving overall well-being and long-term change. I like to assist clients with better understanding themself.
