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.

Have irritability and resentment hijacked your joy? Despite all you’ve achieved, you still feel unseen and unappreciated. Staying busy with work and activities helps you avoid uncomfortable emotions. Yet the relationships that matter most are complicated, leaving you disappointed, empty and lonely. Fear of rejection and failure keep you doubting your worth. Rest and asking for what you need feels selfish. So you push everything down to prevent the floodgates from opening. I help people lean into their emotions and safely express their feelings so they can trust themselves to show up in their relationships with confidence.

I meet with clients at my offices in Elk Grove and Gold River, as well as online. I see couples, singles and provide counseling to 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.

Sometimes dealing with grief or trauma can lead a person to feel alone and isolated. I consider it an honor to help break that isolation while walking alongside clients as they navigate the challenges and obstacles life has thrown their way. My passion is working with individuals who have experienced trauma, and I believe that every person’s trauma is as unique as their fingerprint.

I frequently work with individuals and families with a wide variety of challenges. Some clients are simply looking to find a place that they can take a deep breath and be in a place to address things that they want to work on. While others have severe symptoms or complex issues that are frightening and overwhelming where they need help sorting out thoughts and feelings while learning how to manage and navigate the challenges. Each client is unique and so are their experiences so my goal is to tailor treatment to best benefit my clients. I also run a small non profit counseling center and train new clinicians in the field.

Deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up was an easy choice. I always gravitated toward working with people and working on teams. I find that therapy is a team effort with an important goal in mind. As a therapist, I have grown accustomed to using cognitive-behavioral frameworks in my practice, as well as utilizing concepts and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy depending on client needs. Additionally, I am a Registered Art Therapist. Though art therapy is not the appropriate modality all the time, I often find that solutions can come when we open ourselves to something new.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
