Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Sacramento, CA
We specialize in ketamine and esketamine (Spravato, a form of ketamine) for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD here in Sacramento. Ketamine is a cutting-edge, evidence-based treatment backed by science. Cleveland Clinic calls ketamine a "top ten medical innovation” and Johns Hopkins calls it "groundbreaking therapy" and the first (truly) new treatment in 60 years. Ketamine increases neuroplasticity and helps your brain to grow new synapses, allowing your brain to heal. Ketamine doesn’t have the side effects of traditional mental health medications, and it works fast. People often start to feel better after the very first treatment.

You are capable of healing from trauma and growing strong, healthy relationships with yourself and others.
I work with adults & couples who have experienced trauma, regardless of where they are in their healing process. Traumatic experiences can negatively impact your view of yourself and others. We all adapt to survive, sometimes, those adaptations no longer serve us and we may want to learn new ways of coping but feel stuck. Trauma can leave people feeling disconnected from themselves and others. Visit www.lovehealgrow.com to learn more or schedule your first session directly through our website.

Working together we will confront painful thoughts, feelings and memories and begin the journey of healing, sometimes including mindfulness & self-care practices, Brainspotting, and expressive arts, to rebuild self-esteem and release traumatic energy and experiences.

Together we will explore areas where you might feel stuck or lost, uncover internal strengths and build coping strategies for navigating life‘s difficulties.

My therapeutic work is rooted in a culturally affirming and trauma-informed lens.
We often find ourselves stuck in old patterns that no longer serve us. This can lead to feelings of restlessness, uncertainty, resentment, and loneliness. You may crave to feel seen and valued for all that you are. Perhaps you seek a sense of love and security. I am proud of you for taking the steps to heal. I view the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of healing. I hold a safe space by leading with curiosity, empathy, humor, and compassion. I will meet you with patience wherever you are on your journey and will not push you towards quick fixes.

I use an effective type of therapy called EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy along with talk therapy to help clients heal from the anxiety, depression and relational trauma.
Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Are you struggling with challenging relationships? It makes sense that you would need support. Imagine if you didn't have to feel this way. It can be a challenge but it is possible to feel more at ease, more confident setting boundaries and carve out the time you need for yourself. Over time, you can change how you feel and what you believe about yourself and the world.

You may not call what you experienced in childhood “ trauma” - but even so - it can help to understand how your earliest experiences might be affecting your relationships and work performance now.
Are you an over-achiever with a painful childhood? Do you push yourself to be the best, even when it taxes your personal life and mental health? I help adults like you who’ve experienced chaotic or traumatic childhoods. I understand how exhausting it can be to stay one step ahead of the inner critic and keep hidden the most vulnerable parts inside. I know the toll it takes: low self-confidence, burnout and anxiety. And I want more for you. More confidence, more clarity, and more joy.
