Emotionally Focused Therapists in Chico, CA

Please email only, easiest to reach me. I’m offering telehealth only at this time. I have been working with individuals and families for two decades. My current specialties include individuals and elders. My training is primarily attachment-based, relational, and emotionally focused therapy as well as jungian focus. And I am fascinated with how we are going to all age well in this culture, so I very much enjoy working with people adjusting to later life. I have also learned since a fairly young age that there is a ton of grief we all need to attend to, I appreciate offering support while people are dealing with pain.

My biggest strength as a counselor is that I am in awe with each and every life story I am told, and feel honored when clients trust me on their healing journey.

While I have trained extensively in different therapy models, which has provided me with an in-depth psychological reference, many years of working with people has taught me relationship is central to the heart of therapy. Relationship with oneself, relationship with the therapist and my relationship with myself. The creation of an authentic relationship is a personal process that requires an open heart and an informed sensitive approach. I enjoy getting to know people. Learning about and developing relationship with my clients as well as participating in their growth brings richness to my life.I look forward to meeting you.

Life can be very overwhelming at times and connections with others are important. Sometimes we have difficulty connecting and overreact and don't know why. Sometimes we have unmet needs but we’re not really sure what those are. Sometimes we are in a loving relationship but we shift from closeness to distance. Sometimes we have difficulty expressing how we really feel and tend to focus on others rather than ourselves. If any of this sounds familiar therapy in a safe setting may be helpful. We all want to feel good about ourselves and our lives. Sharing our issues,needs, and goals can help to move us forward

Accepting New Clients. In my 21 years of supporting people with all sorts of issues, it’s certainly clear that we just don’t get through life unscathed. We can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed and we can even feel unsafe. You may be experiencing an impasse and struggle to connect in your relationships. Maybe you have taken on negative beliefs about yourself. Having had tough transitions or traumatic events, you may now want some assistance. I offer a warm and authentic relationship creating safety to assist as you find your way.

All the little things add up and sometimes it feels like you're drowning in petty things; creating stress, overwhelm, and panic. Other times it makes you want to shut down and shut everything out. You believe you should be able to handle all these little things because each thing isn't really that big; and yet, you feel weak and disappointed in yourself that these "little things" are tripping you up. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to live a life of "death by a thousand cuts." Your response is normal. It's a normal response to a crazy amount of tiny things, but it's not helping. You need new tools and strategies to heal.

As human beings we can develop painful, dysfunctional habits that keep us from connecting fully to self and others. At those times an objective therapist using a variety of approaches can help reconnect with self and others in healthier, more collaborative ways. I know that strong, collaborative interpersonal relationships provide the healing force for our emotional wounds and other stressors. Target populations: couples, children and teens struggling with life situations, Gender Identity and transitions; firefighters and police officers experiencing acute and chronic stress related symptoms at work and home.

I have an incredible passion for people and always have had. In my experience as a nurse and as a therapist, I have enjoyed teaching, encouraging, and creating possibilities for hope and healing. My belief is that when we feel safe enough we become more genuine and more capable of loving and living incredible lives. We laugh more, play more, rest better and have more compassion for others. My hope is that you learn to be your best self, genuine, true to yourself and to learn the art of self-care, establishing healthy boundaries and a support system regardless of a painful childhood and difficult life circumstances.

My counseling style is eclectic and client focused with a systems perspective. I have experience working with children, adolescents, individuals, families and couples. I believe that people act or behave with the intent of feeling good, but often develop coping behavior along the path of life that no longer serves them. I assist clients in identifying and connecting with the positive intent behind "dysfunctional behavior", and discovering new methods of coping that lead to a more balanced and joyful journey through life.
