Therapy focused on you
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who sees adults throughout California via telehealth and in-person at my office near McKinley Park in Sacramento. I am currently accepting new clients for both telehealth and in-person therapy. To learn more, you can book a free initial consultation with me directly through this website or you can call my practice line at (916) 587-0802.
Specifically, I offer mindfulness-informed psychotherapy to help clients gain more peace, purpose, and connection in their lives. In therapy, I create a space where each client’s perspective and experiences can be the focus – so you can process what you’re going through and figure out what you need.
While every plan for therapy is unique, I often help clients to:
- Explore and reconnect with who they are, what they feel, and what they care about
- Get relief from painful, uncomfortable, or limiting thoughts and feelings
- Better understand and shift stubborn patterns in thinking and behavior, including those shaped by difficult past experiences or environments
- Build new, healthy habits and routines
- Engage the inner critic with more self-compassion and ease
- Manage stress and take steps towards personal goals
Clients who most enjoy working with me often identify as “overthinkers” or “overfunctioners” who are hitting a wall of one type or another and are not sure how to proceed. I specialize in working with people who are feeling:
- Concerned that anxiety, panic, or depression may be limiting their quality of life or impairing their relationships and performance
- Frustrated by frequently filling a “helper” or “handler” role for others
- Consumed by the demands of a high-stress job or career
- Stressed by a chronic health condition, including those for which stress may be playing a contributing role, or
- Overwhelmed or “stuck” in the context of a significant life transition
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for many years as an advocate on labor and health issues. As a result, I also enjoy working with activists, changemakers, and organizational leaders who want space to process how these roles affect them personally, or for whom work is an important part of their identity.
