Teletherapy for Sacramento County, CA

Do you want to experience life with less burdensome patterns getting in the way, meet challenges with less anxiety, and heal from limiting self-criticism and shame? I will help you meet all of the parts of yourself with reverence and compassion as we tend to the wounds that are ready for healing.

I want to support you in living and feeling into the fullness of your life. Sometimes past stressors, traumas and grief can get in the way of truly seeing yourself, having nurturing relationships and experiencing joy. I can help you identify lifelong patterns and closely examine whether they are helpful, harmful, or dated in order to reveal your authentic self. My goal is to help you connect to yourself so you can navigate the ebb and flow of life with more ease.

When we encounter life stressors, whether anticipated or not, we experience a range of reactions. Many of which, we are not told how to deal with, yet are expected to manage. Mental health issues might complicate our ability to manage stressors, thereby worsening symptoms and making it even more difficult to handle both life and one's mental well-being. We sometimes feel as though those around us, despite their well intentions and support, do not quite understand what we are going through. We may feel unable to find our way, feel how we felt, or pursue what we hoped our life to be.

It’s okay! Things will be alright! (>‿◠) Meet me at my mid-town Sacramento counseling office for a chill, judgment-free space to have a friendly, casual little talk about what’s going on.

Being a parent is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding roles we enter into with little to no training or education, other than what we have observed growing up. As parents we feel pressure that we should know how to handle any challenges we encounter along the way and be successful in each moment. This is a heavy expectation we put on ourselves as parents and not realistic! Being a teen or young adult growing up in this complex world comes with its own pressures and challenges that are new and overwhelming at times. Learning helpful strategies and processing experiences can go a long way in a safe, supportive space.

Hi! I’m Kalene. I work with people who find it easy to show compassion to others but struggle to have self-compassion. They're often perfectionists, people-pleasers, helpers, empaths, highly sensitive people (HSPs), and overthinkers. I have additional training and experience in treating anxiety/depression and working with survivors of sexual trauma (including childhood sexual abuse, and assault/rape in adulthood). I find that people in these populations can be particularly vulnerable to being unkind to themselves. I specialize in helping people quiet the inner critic, lessen feelings of shame, and find peace with themselves.

Tired of feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in life? Are you going through your days on autopilot, with no clear direction on where you’re going? Or even if you do know what you want, are you feeling helpless or hopeless about things getting better? Having a clear life path, more energy, and happiness may seem like a far away dream. Waking up and feeling excited about your day may feel impossible. Especially if one of your favorite pastimes is hitting that snooze button 10+ times every morning. ;)

Welcome! Working with adults and young adults transitioning into the world of adulthood is truly my passion. I enjoy working with and walking alongside individuals as they heal from trauma or wounds in their life, navigate depression, anxiety, loss, transitions in life or parenting challenging. We often experience hurts and difficulties in our lives through relationships and it is through relationship that we are able to heal. I find it a pleasure to be able to provide that relationship for my clients to begin to heal, grow and flourish as they walk through the process of therapy.

“The time is now. The time is now.” This short but dominating sentence is now going on in your mind. “Corey hasn’t been close for a long time. I remember when he was always interested in me, wanting to know about me, my thoughts and dreams. He would often approach me for sex and it was like we were just one person.” Heather has been thinking about how things have changed over the last year. She tells me in her initial phone call that he has been secretive and his mind has been occupied. Heather says they need help NOW to communicate in better ways.

Hello and welcome! If you'd like to create more space for joy, connection, and calm in your life, I would love to work with you! I specialize in treating depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, body image issues, and perfectionism. I use a person-centered approach and mindfulness to help create a safe space for you to reflect on your relationship patterns and goals. I also like to infuse behavioral therapy techniques to help you hone in on concrete steps you can take to make active changes in your life. I hope to help you find more meaning, creativity, and joy in life.

Do you feel stuck? Are you sick and tired of feeling down? Life was not supposed to turn out this way. Life feels like it is on repeat every single day. You feel not good enough even though you try so hard? You feel helpless and trapped. You just want to be happy again but the harder you try, you seem to just keep sinking deeper and deeper. You have been dealing with high anxiety and depression and want to make a change. Sometimes it feels like this is as good as it’s ever going to get.

Hello, I currently offer telehealth and in-person services for adults seeking individual therapy (telehealth only in NE). I have a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy. I am an authentic, down-to-earth person who wants to empower each client. I feel very honored to hear each person's story, help them work towards their goals, and love themselves as a whole person.

Now offering teletherapy for clients in the Sacramento area. If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you know how difficult it can be to cope. Anxiety is easy to recognize. We worry more, avoid difficult situations, and feel tense, awkward, or ineffective. Depression feels exhausting and hopeless. We judge ourselves and others harshly, feel intense sadness, and become passive. It can feel like we can't do anything right or that things never go our way. Imagine being more active, skilled, and competent, communicating more effectively in relationships, being more productive at work or school, and feeling more satisfied with life.

Sun Tzu wrote, “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity”. My work is rooted in the belief that even in our darkest moments, there lies the potential for profound healing and connection. Using the transformative power of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I guide my individuals and couples on a journey to rediscover the bonds that nourish them and the strength that lies within. My ideal client is intrigued to dive into the pain that has been plaguing them for years. This client is interested in deep emotional work and looking for someone unafraid to accompany them into the darkness.

Hello, over the last 10 years I've enjoyed working together with people as they took on the problems they faced. I've helped people work on range of problems, from challenging behaviors to other internal problem. I've worked with incredible resilient young people and adults who've had relationships with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I've also worked with young people in foster care and members of the LGBTQ community using a narrative approach. Being present and sharing space with someone trying to make a positive change in their life, has always been a great privlidge for me.

Do you want to have a great relationship with your partner, friends, or family, but you find yourself stuck in the same cycle of conflict? Are you battling substance abuse or an addiction that feels like it's ruining your life? Or, do you feel so weighed down by insecurity, worry, or hopelessness that you don't know how to start to make things better? Sometimes we come to a crossroads and are unsure which direction to take. We reach out for guidance, for peace, for self-love. I believe every person has the strength within them to seek this out a functional, fulfilling life.

I help overwhelmed, self-doubting individuals feel calmer and more confident. If you're consumed by worry, I'll help you quiet your mind and reconnect to your body and spirit. If you struggle to feel worthy and valuable in spite of your accomplishments, I'll help you embrace your authentic self, so-called flaws and all. You may simply wish for quality time with loved ones and peace of mind. Or maybe you envision a calling for yourself that's beyond your current career or role. Whatever it is that you desire from life, I'm here to guide you toward that goal.

If you are reading this, take heart, as you've already demonstrated your courage. Many people, if not most, never seek the help they need, professionally or personally. As a therapist, my philosophy is that every person is unique in their own way, and this requires a unique solution to the challenges you face. People are incredibly complex, and many times this is why cookie cutter interventions often fall flat, because the client is not fully understood before interventions are prescribed.

We are all experiencing life: the good, the bad, and the painful. Whether we are chasing lofty goals or responding to complex responsibilities, stress and frustration broach our lives and create dysregulation in our bodies. This physiological dysregulation can lead to anxiety and depression, significantly impacting daily life. As William James stated, “The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.”
