My approach is to meet the people where they are and provide a safe space so that healing can happen. I work with the client to establish their goals and help them find ways to reach those desired goals. I have many years of experience working with first responders and am culturally sensitive. I understand the unique needs of first responders as it relates to trauma, crisis, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, job-related stress, job security, suicide, life transition to retirement, etc. I know how difficult it can be to reach out to a therapist and you want to be sure that they understand your work and life culture.

I am real, interactive, strong and grace-giving, bringing who I am into the therapeutic relationship appropriately.
I meet with clients at my offices in Elk Grove and Gold River. I specialize in couples, singles and individual counseling of adults. I address issues from trauma & abuse recovery to relationships to anxiety, depression, grief and loss. A key resource in recovery from traumatic events involves strengthening our ability to attach to ourselves and others in a way that soothes and calms our nervous systems and grounds us, based on the latest neurological research and evidence-based techniques. This therapy can be much more effective and require a shorter duration of treatment than traditional talk therapy.

My job is to begin where you are and help you prepare for your next stage of change. I use an integrative approach, working from the inside out (objects relations, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, others) to support your process and movement. We all start with assumptions about life. Then life happens, and we have to begin again having been changed. Loss becomes growth as we embrace new and mature understanding of ourselves and life. I am a clinical psychologist with over 10 years experience working with complicated but interesting people who are addressing individual, relationship, life, and spiritual issues.

I am committed to practices that consciously cultivate awareness, acceptance, and encourage a more authentic and vital relationship with self, other, and the world.
Are you tired of continually trying to control, change, get rid of, or avoid painful thoughts, feelings, sensations and experiences? If so, together we will explore ways to move beyond these temporary relief strategies towards relating and responding in a more flexible manner. Discover, express and integrate previously unknown parts of yourself, build upon strengths already in place, and work on the past by increasing the vitality of your work on relationships in the present. Together we'll explore what underlies your symptoms, what adaptive need or function they serve, and how symptoms may point toward needed life changes.

Effective therapy takes place within the context of a trusting relationship between the therapist and the client.
I believe that we each have an innate force that drives us towards wholeness and the fulfillment of our individual  potential. However, life experiences can lead to a break from our personal experience of the soul, resulting in a deep sense of loss and isolation from self and others. I work collaboratively with my clients to remove obstacles that block the connection to a deeper experience of the soul and authentic self, and then move towards the realization of a fulfilling and purposeful life. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there... " Rumi

With over 20 years of experience practicing therapy, we specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, and relationship issues.
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Feeling exhausted being overwhelmed and sad? Those who are closest to you can't see your pain because you have hidden how you truly feel by wearing a mask. Wearing a mask allows you to get through the day but fall apart when alone. In therapy you take off the mask, breathe and reveal your true feelings, gain insight into how to decrease your pain and live a more balanced healthier life. Getting help is not a sign of weakness, but strength. It takes a great deal of strength and courage to take this step towards feeling better.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
