Therapists in Fair Oaks, CA

I promote growth and healing through compassionate insight, reflection and strategic direction! Acquired Knowledge seems most beneficial when put to use to benefit ourselves or others, for as we serve and engage with others, we more readily discover our true selves. I subscribe to Emerson's notion; "Do the thing, and you will have the power" rather than give me the power and then I will act! I enjoy being a contributing factor to others growth and advancement and relish witnessing the blossoming of added confidence, enhanced self-esteem. and true growth!

I provide a compassionate, emotionally-attuned space for clients to understand how earlier life experiences have influenced their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I assist clients in identifying learned habits that stand in the way of the life they desire. I work collaboratively with clients to promote greater emotional resiliency and the ability to constructively deal with life's challenges resulting in more joy and fulfillment. I work with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, grief, low self-esteem, sexual identity issues, gender issues, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have been working as a therapist for 13 years. In my work, I am fortunate to have worked with both children and adults struggling in childhood abuse, traumatic experiences, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. In addition, I work with adults with Substance Abuse Disorder, caregivers caring for a mentally ill loved one, functional life skills, relationship issues, and parenting.

Life entails times of joy, happiness, growth, change, pain, and loss. Life can be hard and sometimes we need help to cope through difficult experiences and learn new ways of navigating the challenges we face. I work with clients in a collaborative relationship to create lasting positive change, reduce emotional suffering, access strengths, change negative patterns, increase self-compassion, formulate goals, strengthen coping skills, enhance relationships, navigate transitions, and further movement toward a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.

I am a solution focused therapist. You will feel the relief of stresses in life after a few sessions. You would get better understanding of yourself, better coping problem solving skills to rebuild balance in life. My years of clinical experiences have propelled me to believe that most of the emotional and behavioral issues are trauma based that led me to inventing my trauma cleansing technique which is so powerful that it removes your trauma energy and the trauma images in minutes, you feel the difference in your mind body instantly. You are free from the trap of mental suffeinings. Please read the Google comments.

I graduated from a M.S. mental health counseling program at Eastern Washington University in 1995, got certified and ran a private practice in Seattle from 1995 through 2003. I worked in an outpatient community clinic, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, at retreat centers, and at a college counseling center until starting work on a PhD in Religious Studies and Psychology. I worked, studied, and lived in Europe, East Asia, and Africa before teaching 10 years at San Jose State University, so I am comfortable and confident working with very different sorts of people and I want everyone and anyone to feel welcome and at ease in my care.

We provide a full spectrum of services for mental health concerns in order to be of service to the community. We are goal/plan oriented to assist patients in overcoming obstacles in their lives. We very much provide an eclectic approach that is often inclusive of a variety of theories/treatments in order to meet the needs of each patient .

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over thirty years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults and families. I have helped hundreds of clients overcome or manage a variety of life stressors. I work diligently with each client to help him or her achieve their own personal therapeutic goals. I believe in the innate healing powers of each individual and the dramatic benefits that a professional therapeutic relationship can provide. I strive to enable each client to reach their own human potential, thus living with greater meaning, purpose and satisfaction.

I'm so glad to meet you on this therapeutic journey! My desire as a therapist is to meet people where they are in their own process of exploration and healing. That said, the most successful clients are ready to open themselves up to the chance that change is possible. I entered the mental health field to provide the kind of support and care that I would want my own family members to receive if they were experiencing an emotional or psychological crisis. I have been on both sides of the mental health system and know the barriers that can occur in finding quality and compassionate mental health care.

Transitional Experiences happen! Kids' families become disjointed from divorce. Tweens become Teens. Individuals in their early 20's wonder what the next step is "for them". 30-somethings sometime face life-path decisions, maybe even boredom? Beloved pets or family members pass away. Married people are suddenly "single-again". the mid-life 50's often come with health issues that completely throw people for a loop! The 60+ often involve taking care of aging parents or are facing the death experience themselves! Grandparents sometimes find themselves raising their children's children! What is going ON?
