Female Therapists in Granite Bay, CA

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. I meet you where you are, attending to the particular needs and goals you bring, helping you discover more meaning, wholeness, and pleasure in your life. The daily choices we make are often informed by our early life experiences. Despite our best efforts to change, we often find ourselves repeating unwanted patterns over and over. As we sit together, exploring your feelings, your stories, and listening to your dreams and longings, we will find ways you can open yourself up to the possibility of change, finding new energy and meaning.

I enjoy helping people to improve their overall quality of life. I believe that therapy can be a profoundly positive experience, and I strive to develop a trusting relationship that fosters safety so that you feel comfortable to begin your journey of healing and growth. Whether you are struggling with past pain, current life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or future worries, our journey will assist you in living your best life.

I offer a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy and trust we all have the power and wisdom within us to get to the healing & growth we need. Therapy is a journey toward finding balance and wholeness. It is about disentangling yourself from patterns and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, as much as it is about cultivating self-acceptance and reconnecting with essential parts of yourself. Together, we will work to define what is true and meaningful for you.

Sometimes we come to a point in life when we need to pause and look at what is going on in our lives. Maybe you're overwhelmed with family conflict, life transitions, stuck in relational problems or you are ready to heal emotional wounds. The answer to a better sense of self, healthy relationships, overall well being and peace is gaining insight to these feelings of confusion, anxiety, anger, sadness and grief. With my experience, I will help you to look deeper to gain clarity, perspective and direction to promote harmony and life balance.

If you feel that you are waiting for your best life to start, I would love to work with you. And I know I can help because I have felt this way. I enjoy working with clients who are driven to become their best selves whether that is in their careers and/or in their personal relationships. I will collaborate with you on what you can do to move forward but also push you at times to take those steps. I feel it's important for clients to get genuine feedback and also be challenged at times to confront their fears. My clients frequently cherish those moments as the most life changing.

Are you an adult who was recently diagnosed ADHD? Hi! Continually feeling overwhelmed is a sign that your current life is NOT sustainable and that change is desperately needed. You’re exhausted. You thought things would get better with time but they haven’t…. and to be truthful, they probably won’t unless change is consciously made. Trapped emotions can keep you tied to patterns that aren’t fueling the version of you that you want to be. That you choose to be. A new diagnosis, or curiosity around one from what you've heard from friends or seen online, can shed light on ways to support your best you.

I am here because I know everyone is capable of change, and because I believe that the burdens of life were not meant to be navigated alone.

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 am a warm and engaged therapist and support clients through compassionate listening, practical guidance, and an action-oriented approach to assist them in making the changes they want in their lives. I offer 25+ years of experience working with adults struggling with issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, addictive behavior, grief, interpersonal issues, adoption, divorce recovery, and parenting.

Maybe you're experiencing relationship conflict or life transitions that seems too difficult to navigate. Do you wrestle with making sense of suffering? Having a trained ear to help you process these thoughts, feelings, hurts, and conflicts can bring powerful relief. Seeking therapy does not make you weak. It actually shows a tremendous amount of strength and courage.

My practice is deeply rooted in compassion and empathy, and I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families grappling with various challenges such as trauma, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, depression, and eating disorders. Central to my approach is the integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These proven techniques offer practical tools for managing difficult emotions, challenging negative thought patterns, and cultivating mindfulness and self-compassion. I also incorporate elements of humanistic and existential approaches.

I'll empower you to lead YOUR definition of a successful life. Whether you're a veteran, anxiety-filled parent, or deciding the future of your marriage, you don't have to face this difficult time alone. I have 20+ years of experience to offer, including working with those who have been reluctant to initiate therapy in the first place. I specialize in problem gambling, addictions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, and men's issues. I bring a personal and professional understanding of blended family issues and the unique demands of biracial/bicultural issues.

My approach is warm and down-to-earth. I utilize an evidenced-based integrative approach including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques as some of the means to help my clients reach their mental health goals. I believe everyone has a unique background and path that they are on in life and deserve treatment methods that reflect their individuality. I value client autonomy and collaboration. I hold a safe space to allow you to show up as your authentic self while creating an environment in which you are seen, heard, and valued.

I believe that with patience, time, insight, awareness and understanding; progress and healing can be achieved. From my 15 years experience working with children, teens and adults -I have gained a strong passion to help individuals whom struggle with self-esteem issues, trauma, anxiety and depression. I also have a strong passion and extensive experience working with children and their behaviors, along with providing parenting support. As a mother of two small children, I understand the impact of juggling it all and the importance of support and practicing self-care. I’m here to provide insight, understanding and coping skills.

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway. Do you sometimes feel broken due to past trauma? My passion is to instill hope by providing a safe space for people to grow and heal. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal inside of them, and it is my honor to walk alongside them in their journey to become stronger, healthier, happier, and more resilient.

Are you looking for a therapist who does more than just listen? I strive to understand; and to help you understand. I help clients stay focused on what they want MORE of in their lives. We also pay attention to what obstacles and maladaptive coping mechanisms are at play. While it is essential to learn to be present with what is currently happening, our work will sometimes reach to heal the past. This gives you the freedom and inner spaciousness to reach toward a better future.

Hello! I've been practicing as a therapist for five years. I have significant experience using Family Based Treatment (FBT), the leading evidence-based treatment for adolescents with anorexia that can effectively treat other eating disorders as well. I also have ample experience in treating adolescents and young adults with eating disorders with more common modalities such as CBT and DBT. People with eating disorders often struggle with other things, such as trauma and anxiety. As a result, I've become competent in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based treatment for trauma and other stressors.

I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to create positive change. The path forward is a collaborative one, working together to gain insight into past and present factors that get in the way of achieving your goals, and identifying and applying your unique strengths to create new and healthier patterns.
