Transform Your Success Story Into a Life of Genuine Well-Being
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Sacramento, CA, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, I specialize in helping high-achieving adults who appear successful on the outside but privately struggle with anxiety, depression, and the lasting impacts of childhood trauma. If you're tired of just managing stress and ready for real transformation, you've found the right therapist.
Who I Work With: Recognizing Yourself in These Patterns
My individual therapy practice focuses on adults aged 25-55 who've built impressive lives while carrying invisible burdens. Many clients seeking support from therapists in Sacramento share similar experiences:
​
You're the person everyone relies on - competent, driven, and always holding it together. Yet beneath this exterior, you're managing overwhelming feelings, constant stress, and a disconnect from your authentic self that impacts your mental health and relationships.
​
You've achieved external success but feel emotionally dysregulated inside. Racing thoughts, anxiety that won't quiet, and a nervous system stuck in survival mode affect your daily life despite your best coping skills.
​
Healthcare and medical professionals find particular resonance with my trauma-informed approach. I understand the unique challenges you face in Sacramento County's medical community—the pressure to be unshakeable while processing your own mental health concerns and professional stress.
My Integrative Approach: What This Means for Your Healing
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I draw from several powerful modalities that therapists utilize to support your unique healing journey. My therapeutic process integrates evidence-based practices tailored to your specific needs:
​
EMDR Therapy
Helps you process trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain without having to relive every detail. It's a gentle yet effective way to reduce symptoms and restore balance. Through EMDR, many clients experience profound trauma recovery, finding they can finally enjoy life without being hijacked by past experiences.
​​
Parts Work (IFS-Informed)
We explore the different "parts" of you—like the inner critic, the perfectionist, or the protector—and help them work together instead of against each other. This builds self-compassion and emotional clarity. Through this therapeutic relationship, we create internal harmony that improves self-esteem and supports personal growth, particularly effective for those navigating complex trauma and relationship issues.
​
Skills Building
You'll learn practical tools to manage stress, set boundaries, regulate emotions, and communicate more effectively. These aren't just coping strategies—they're life-enhancing skills that support lasting change in your daily life and relationships.
​
Emotion Processing
Together, we'll create a safe space to feel, understand, and release emotions that have been buried or overwhelming. You'll learn how to stay grounded even when things feel intense, developing your natural ability to navigate life transitions with resilience.
​
Symptom Reduction & Nervous System Support
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, or trauma responses, we'll work to calm your nervous system and reduce distressing symptoms so you can feel more like yourself again. This comprehensive approach addresses how mental health concerns interconnect rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
​
Narrative and Relational Therapy
We'll examine and rewrite the stories limiting your potential. This evidence-based practice helps you understand how past experiences shape current patterns, supporting self-discovery and personal development. Through our work, you'll build new narratives that align with who you're becoming, not who you had to be to survive.
What Makes My Practice Different
This isn't just about feeling "better." It's about building a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and emotionally secure. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, reclaim your energy, and create relationships that nourish, not drain you.
​
Unlike many therapists in Sacramento, I don't just offer therapy—I offer a healing journey that meets you at the intersection of:
-
Insight and embodiment - Understanding why isn't enough; we need to feel the change in our bodies and nervous system
-
Professionalism and humanity - You're more than your achievements or struggles
-
Trauma and transformation - Your past informs but doesn't define your future
You don't have to keep pushing through. You deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you grow into where you want to be.
​
I specialize in creating a safe space for individuals navigating:
-
PTSD and Complex PTSD
-
Childhood trauma and its adult manifestations
-
Anxiety, burnout, and trauma responses
-
Depression hidden beneath high achievement
-
Nervous system dysregulation and emotional overwhelm
-
Racial trauma and marginalized communities' experiences
-
Healthcare professionals' unique mental health concerns
Through integrative therapy combining EMDR, Parts Work, skills building, emotion processing, and nervous system support, I help you move beyond just coping to genuine transformation.
Your Journey Begins: What New Clients Can Expect
Free 20-Minute Consultation
Our first conversation is about connection, not commitment. We'll briefly discuss what brings you to seek counseling and ensure we're a good fit. Finding the right therapist is crucial for quality therapy, and this initial contact respects that truth.
​
First Session: Building Our Foundation
During your first appointment, we explore what led you to seek support without pressure to share everything immediately. This therapy session focuses on:
-
Understanding your current mental health concerns
-
Discussing your strengths and existing resources
-
Exploring your goals for personal growth
-
Creating a collaborative plan for our therapeutic process
Ongoing Virtual Sessions: Consistent Support for Lasting Change
Once established, we meet weekly for 50-55 minute online appointments. This consistency creates a supportive environment where trust builds naturally. Online therapy offers the flexibility busy professionals need while maintaining the depth of connection essential for healing.
Each session adapts to what's most present for you—whether processing trauma with EMDR, exploring different parts of yourself, building new skills, or working to calm your nervous system. We might focus on emotion processing one week and practical boundary-setting skills the next. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space for practicing vulnerability and building the connections you desire in daily life.
Why Online Therapy Works for High-Achievers
While some prefer in-person therapy, my exclusive focus on virtual sessions serves a specific purpose. Online therapy provides:
​
Privacy and comfort - Engage in deep work from your chosen environment without the stress of commuting or waiting rooms
Flexibility - Schedule appointments that work with your demanding life in Sacramento, CA or anywhere in California
Accessibility - No matter where you are in Sacramento or California, quality mental health support is available
Reduced barriers - Eliminate travel time and logistics that often prevent consistent therapy attendance
​
Many clients find online counseling actually enhances their ability to open up and engage authentically in the healing process.
The Transformation: From Surviving to Thriving
Through our integrative work together, clients seeking support discover profound changes in their overall well-being:
​
Emotional Regulation & Nervous System Balance - Learn to calm your nervous system and manage overwhelming feelings without shutting down or pushing through. Develop practical skills that help you stay grounded even when life feels intense.
​
Authentic Connection - Build happier relationships that nourish rather than drain you. Show up as yourself, not who you think others need you to be.
​
Self-Compassion & Inner Wisdom - Reconnect with your inner wisdom and develop self-esteem based on inherent worth, not achievement or others' approval. Learn to trust yourself again.
​
Reclaimed Energy & Presence - Stop spending all your energy managing and controlling. Rediscover your natural ability to enjoy life and navigate life transitions with resilience.
​
Integrated Healing - Address how trauma, anxiety, and depression interconnect through comprehensive symptom reduction and nervous system support, rather than treating issues in isolation.
​
Life-Enhancing Skills - Build practical tools for boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and effective communication that serve you long after therapy ends.
​
This isn't about becoming someone new—it's about building a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and emotionally secure. It's about reclaiming who you've always been beneath the adaptations required for survival.
Specialized Support for Healthcare Professionals
Medical professionals throughout the Sacramento area face unique challenges requiring specialized understanding. Your profession likely reinforces the very patterns affecting your mental health—perfectionism, emotional suppression, and chronic stress.
My trauma-informed approach addresses:
-
Burnout while maintaining professional excellence
-
Secondary trauma from patient care
-
The isolation of being the helper who needs help

Work-life balance in demanding medical environments

Processing both professional and personal trauma
I understand that as someone who heals others, acknowledging your own need for healing requires tremendous courage. Our therapeutic relationship honors both your professional identity and human vulnerability
