Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Sacramento, CA
I specialize in trauma whether it is complex trauma or intergenerational trauma using individualistic approaches to meet your needs through CBT, DBT, IFS, and EMDR therapy.
Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences that often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

From a culturally-informed, relational framework, I provide such therapies as CBT, CBT-Insomnia, CPT for PTSD, EMDR, and DBT.
Are you an "overthinker" or overachiever wanting to work through harsh attitudes you hold about yourself? Are you hoping to resolve pain from the past? Perhaps you need relief from intense worry, anxiety, PTSD/complex trauma, overwhelming emotions, depression, insomnia, or nightmares. Or you might be seeking to grow as a person and needing to talk through the complexities of your most important relationships with someone trained to ask just the right questions. If these are the kinds of issues you’re grappling with now, therapy is a wonderful place to start, and one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself.

I utilize relational, collaborative, solution-focused and trauma informed approaches to therapy, maintaining the creativity, flexibility and awareness necessary to best meet the needs of each unique individual.
When difficult emotions or experiences interfere with our ability to enjoy life, it can be hard to figure out what to do. Therapy begins as a conversation and progresses into a relationship, creating a foundation for exploring present and past difficulties. My therapeutic approaches are trauma informed; I use methodologies that address root cause to shift and heal old patterns, behaviors and challenges. Together we will explore areas where you might feel stuck or lost, uncover internal strengths and build coping strategies for navigating life‘s difficulties.

Trauma heals in relationships and connections and I look forward to creating a safe relationship for you to explore and expand.
There are moments in our lives where we're left feeling vulnerable, uncertain and even afraid. Old memories and strong emotions from earlier experiences often surface during times of change and transition, calling for our attention & care. Events like entering or ending a professional role or a personal relationship can trigger intense feelings of self-doubt, insecurity, & overwhelm. You can be exactly where you want to be in life yet feel like you don’t belong or that you can’t truly relish in your achievements. You may be working so hard to be liked or prevent conflict that you’re not even aware of your own preferences or limits.

I feel especially attuned to issues of grief, trauma, depression, and the spiritual seeking that often follows those experiences.
I often work with people who grapple with hard questions to which there is no one "right" answer. I offer a non-judegmental atmosphere in which each person can seek his or her own answers. Therapy is a co-creation. I work with each person to find what "speaks" to him / her. That may include talking, mindfulness practices, or creative arts therapies. Using these methods accesses parts of the brain that can't be reached through words alone, and puts people in the flow of their wisdom and creativity, from which solutions to problems can emerge.

I have become acutely aware of how trauma can disrupt our lives and make it difficult to succeed in life.
I have spent the last 20 years providing mental health services to children and adults as I feel it is my calling. I am systems oriented as I do not believe that we exist in a vacuum. We are all influenced by the environment we live in. There are times when we all need assistance in navigating our individual systems.

Common life challenges include grieving, life-transition issues, coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, coping with chronic pain, domestic abuse, adjusting to stressors, and relationship discord.
Engaging in therapy offers a safe and supportive environment leading to a journey of healing, self-discovery, and education regarding past and current life challenges. Complex emotions can leave you feeling isolated and overwhelmed. As you engage in therapy, these feelings of isolation and stress are likely to decrease as you realize you are not alone and there are active steps to feeling better. My therapeutic process provides genuine support, helpful coping skills, and an action plan.

I have experience working with trauma survivors, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
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.

Unresolved childhood issues, grief, and/or trauma can negatively impact your understanding of self and view of others.
Nothing is more difficult than relationships. And nothing means more to you. All of us are hard-wired to be in relationship, to care for and be cared for by others. But what do you do when differences lead to never-ending battles because you never get close to the real issues? Or when withdrawal leads to resentments that are never addressed at all. I would like to help you remember your strengths that brought you together in the first place, feel relief as you share what is important to you, and appreciate each other's differences, which may really be a strength.
