Teletherapy for Vacaville, CA
Every individual is aware of their personal needs in life and is on a quest to get them met. Internal and external roadblocks can hinder this process and produce negative emotional and mental states of being. My job is to get to the root cause of this distress by identifying the unmet needs, the roadblocks, and the process of meeting those needs that is currently not working. We then work on removing the roadblocks and replacing the method of getting those needs met with one that works and produces harmony with all of those involved.

Are your thoughts so overwhelming they have you feeling anxious, alone, or never good enough? Is depression and anxiety making you feel misunderstood or even exhausted? I get it. Walking through life feeling unseen is difficult. It can be scary looking for guidance, but therapy can be life changing! Talking to someone you can trust and feel accepted is like a weight off your shoulders. As your therapist, making you feel comfortable is my priority - where you are heard, understood, and seen. I will walk alongside you so you can better understand your thoughts and emotions while giving you respect, and a non-judgmental space.

Albert Einstein once said; "Out of clutter, find simplicity, from discord, find harmony, in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." I strongly believe that no matter if we are trying to navigate through depression, anxiety, PTSD, or any other issues that cause clutter, discord and/or difficulty in our lives, it can be simplified, we can be harmonized, and it can provide opportunities to live our best lives by managing our struggles in a way that allow us to rediscover who we are, our strengths, our abilities, and to regain our independence without our struggles dominating our lives, and our relationships.

I think we can all agree...life can be tough...but so are you! You have survived all of your worst days. Are you looking to take a leap you've been too afraid to make? Are you feeling the stress and pressure from work, school, home or all of the above? Do you have things you want to say out loud to the world, but haven't quite found your voice? Many people go through life pretending to be okay, but I hope to provide a space that helps you feel comfortable enough to share when you aren't.
