Female Therapists in Sonora, CA

In providing individual adult, child and family counseling services, my integration of therapeutic modalities allows for specialized treatment for each client. As a certified Advanced Level Clinical Trauma Practitioner my work with clients dealing with complex or emotional traumas is specific to the education on the effects of trauma and utilizing coping skills that can build resiliency. This approach has helped many families and individuals work through complex trauma, and work toward, and achieve, attainable goals.

Every individual, couple or family is uniquely different and I have found over the years that one approach does not fit all. I offer a safe and confidential environment for understanding and resolving challenges in your life. I will assess your needs and create a treatment plan that is uniquely suited to you. You deserve emotional healing...I would like to help.

There are times in all of our lives when we find it difficult to find the answers we've been searching for, when our external world becomes so loud we can't hear that internal voice of wisdom. It can be during those times that a focused hour of introspection, conversation, and reflection can be helpful in finding the answers we've been unable to access by ourselves. My goal is to facilitate that search, whether the focus is relationships, life direction, grieving, or how to make life rewarding.

You are unhappy, you don't like it, you're willing to take action to change that reality.. That is what a Therapist said to me long before I became a therapist myself. Now I encourage you, Good for you! Willingness is the key to the gate of awakening! Courage is not the absence of fear, it is evolving while being afraid..versus revolving with the same behaviors you've been taught. Time to get better teachers. Time to get to know you, what you want, how to ask for that, from yourself and others. "And the day came when the risk to stay tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to blossom". Call me. Invest in you, who better?

Hey, I’m glad you’re here. There are so many issues that can arise throughout our lives, either in our relationships, work, school, or even with ourselves. They can impact how we interact and perceive relationships, our thoughts and emotions, and how we think we fit into the world. These issues can cause us to feel confused, isolated, misunderstood, and unheard. Using empathy, sincerity, compassion, and authenticity, I want to help you unravel these complex issues and understand who you are, what factors impact these issues, and connect you with who you strive to be.

Choosing a therapist is often an overwhelming ordeal. How do you know who to choose? What can you expect from this experience? Being vulnerable emotionally often feels intimidating.

I provide a use of humor and a non-judgmental yet very reality based environment where authenticity and self direction can be safely built at your own pace. You will then be able to realize the path that is best for you

What We Do... Every person holds unique experiences, stories, and gifts. Due to trauma or other concerns, our experiences can turn into intolerable burdens. When this occurs, our thoughts can become negative, relaying disheartening messages to us. Overwhelmed, our minds and bodies become depressed, anxious, or hurt. Imagine, however, that our suffering carries meaningful messages. Through therapy that seeks to support and honor our life experiences, we can learn to express, befriend, and transform our uncomfortable symptoms. "In order to change what is, we need to give speech to what has been, to imagine what might be." Adrienne Rich

As a psychotherapist who practices from a Transpersonal perspective, I provide therapy for the WHOLE individual. Unlike traditional therapeutic structure, which only considers the Emotional and Intellectual components of the individual, I also focus on the Physical and Spiritual facets of Self. I work with all ages, from small children through geriatric seniors. My specialties include Eating Disorders, Depression, Anger Management, Anxiety and Substance Abuse. I provide therapy to individuals, couples and groups and especially enjoy working with children and adolescents.

Therapy can be a truly transformative experience. If you are suffering from the impacts of trauma, feel like you've lost your sense of self, are burdened by stress, worry, depression or low self-esteem and are ready for healing, I can help. If you and your partner are struggling and would benefit from an unbiased third party to help navigate the intricacies of your relationship, I can help. Therapy is a journey, and together we will identify and create meaningful goals for treatment to bring greater fulfillment to your life.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Therapist licensed in California. I have been working with families and individuals for over 15 years.

Are you longing to feel peace in your body again…or perhaps you’ve never felt peace. Life is messy and full of transitions. Sometimes these transitions are manageable, but often times they bring up hard feelings, thoughts, or reactions that we weren’t anticipating. Everyone struggles from time to time. Maybe you have experienced trauma in your lifetime and have never had the space to give it the proper narrative it deserves. My approach to counseling is collaborative as I see myself as a support person along your journey. My focus is on providing a secure space to develop a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship.

I believe every good therapist has done their own work. I have been a therapy client at different times throughout my life. I don’t ask my clients to do anything I haven’t done myself. Together we will work to identify the best approach to healing for you.
