Spirituality Therapists in Sacramento, CA

We are all an incredible kaleidoscope of identities we hold, experiences we've had, people we love & things we believe. There is no one right way to be, but there is an incredible release that comes with accepting yourself exactly the way you are. Therapy with me is not the cookie-cutter experience you may have had in the past. In this room, I show up in a real and authentic way to help you do the work of uncovering what makes you feel whole. My clients look to me as someone to help them debunk the lies they believe about themselves, rewrite their stories, find hope in the midst of loss & discover a new perspective.

Therapy reduces suffering and creates possibility for healthy changes. It is one of the best investments that you can make as you gain awareness and learn about problematic patterns. Everyone is at their own change-readiness level and I will support you where you are at. I am familiar with most psychological issues or relationship concerns, as I have worked in numerous settings and generally I have said "Yes!" to everyone along the way.

It takes a lot of courage to begin therapy. Thank you for visiting my profile as you begin or resume your healing journey. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am passionate about helping others take courageous steps to process life’s losses, uncertainties and struggles. Depression, anxiety and trauma doesn’t have to define you, the quality of your relationships or future. I’m here to offer you a safe, inclusive and respectful place of support and encouragement in your path forward.

Our life’s experiences inform who we are, what we believe and how we act. From our early years through today the filter we see life through informs our well being. By fine tuning your lens you see the truth of who you really are. By identifying and removing your barriers you become one with your essence

My job is not to give advice but help guide you through the process that leads to decision-making, insight, awareness, and confirming the beauty within you. I need to help you build resilience and self-efficacy to continue to apply these skills as you encounter future changes and challenges in life. Life is about change and transition.

I specialize with individuals who consistently find themselves in depressive and anxious positions towards life. Individuals who are at the precipice of some change whether that be internal, external, or both. Places you feel stuck and unseen. I particularly specialize in working with women whose lives have been impacted in some way by patriarchal values and have found that something deeper in them calls out for recognition. I trust that what we can create together can offer a space for you to fully emerge in what wants to be known in you. I will help you understand all self-states and create that bridge needed to help you through.

Have you been going through big changes in your life? Do you feel like you've lost a lot, whether that's a part of yourself or an important relationship? Are you struggling to figure out who you are and what comes next? I'd love to be a part of your honorable journey in figuring out how to support. We are each born into this world filled with curiosity and hope, and unfortunately that doesn't always remain due to the hardships life brings. In my practice I will show up authentically and humbly. You know you best, and you truly are the expert of your own life!

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.

My greatest passion and inspiration is walking alongside individuals during their journey of self-discovery and improvement. This passion for helping others set me on my path of obtaining a Master's in Social Work, with a concentration in Health and Aging, and subsequently becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

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.

My goal is to help you connect to yourself so you can navigate the ebb and flow of life with more ease.

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.

Life is busy and complex. The constant pressure that we feel to meet our professional obligations, navigate personal relationships and occupy roles are overwhelming. We set an unsustainable pace that inevitably leaves us anxious, socially disconnected and emotionally depleted. The demands of being a professional, person of color, parent or person navigating a change can become unmanageable.

My goal is to empower people to live more freely, making choices reflecting the life they truly want rather than one constrained by anxiety.

Each day we awake, you have another chance at life. Of course, you can't control into what family you're born, your ethnicity, or your physical attributes; changing your past is beyond your control, too. However, you DO have control over how you respond to your past, and you CAN change the way you think and behave. Understanding yourself, how to approach relationships, and how to cope with life's challenges can be difficult especially if you're unsure of where to begin. I can meet you where you are and support you with empathy and unconditional positive regard. With collaboration, we can work together to help you meet your goals.
