My Approach to Helping
Now accepting new referrals (as of 092024) for Teens, Adults, & EMDR (a trauma therapy technique). Offices in Sacramento & El Dorado Hills. Parents: Are you worried about your teenager? Do they seem stressed, anxious, or depressed? Or Are they just driving you crazy?!? Adults: Are you living the life you want to live? Or Is stress, anxiety, or grief getting in the way? Are you, “in your head” a lot, ruminating about your relationships? work or school? the future? I’d like to help. I’m an experienced, licensed psychotherapist whose been in full-time private practice with teens, adults, and families for over 12 years.
In addition to talk therapy, I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is a research based treatment for trauma. EMDR sessions can really help move through concerns including abuse, grief, bullying, and phobias. Both teens and adults have benefited from EMDR treatment in seeing faster, longer lasting therapeutic results.
My therapeutic work is informed by approaches including but not limited to: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Byron Katie’s “The Work”, Elaine Aron’s Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My office is LGBTQ friendly.
