Let's Connect (916) 302-4205
In our lives we experience painful feelings, and at times we may feel off-balance and lost. You may find that this is a time of more acute emotional suffering and that your existing coping strategies are not holding you. I offer compassionate support and tools to help you identify both immediate and sustaining antidotes to your current struggle. I use a holistic approach to helping my clients, which may include a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Buddhist-oriented psychology and mindfulness approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotion regulation, motivational interviewing, and communication skills training.
I bring over 25 years experience as a therapist to help adults, teens, couples, and families. I have expertise with addictions, traumas, life transitions, work stress, aging, family conflict, and health conditions. I have subspecialties in working with healthcare professionals and those interested in applying Buddhist principles to their lives.
I understand that life can sometimes feel out-of-control and overwhelming. I offer a non-judgmental space for you to open up to these vulnerabilities and see a more hopeful perspective that can lead you toward more clarity, peace, and balance in your life. I look forward to hearing from you.

Addiction and chronic pain are often bi-directionally related to trauma. In our work I will help you learn to calm your stressed nervous system (which can contribute to physical and emotional pain) with mindfulness techniques, relaxation strategies, changing problematic thoughts (CBT), and helping you to connect more fully with sources of support in your life.
