About My Clients
Parents… Are you worried about your teen? Are they so moody? Maybe you’re wondering whether what’s going on is ‘normal teenage stuff’ or something to be more concerned about? Adults...Are you living the life you want to live right now? Or Is stress, anxiety, trauma, or grief getting in the way? Are you, “in your head” a lot, ruminating about your relationships? work? the future? I’d like to help. I love working with teens and adults, and also I'm trained and experienced in EMDR therapy.
My Background and Approach
Therapy can help with the things that are bothering you or that are keeping you from being successful in important areas of your life. When we meet, I listen to you, ask questions, and help guide you on a path toward solutions in a way that resonates with you and your situation. In addition to talk therapy, I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is a research based treatment for trauma. EMDR sessions can really help move through concerns including abuse, grief, bullying, and phobias. Both adolescents and adults have benefited from EMDR treatment in seeing faster, longer lasting therapeutic results.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a Social Worker by degree, I am a natural advocate. I am passionate about human rights, animal welfare, and am LGBTQ+ friendly. Prior to being in private practice, my experience includes work in the foster care system, children’s mental health, inpatient psychiatric for adolescents, outpatient intensive program for adults, and emergency room social work. I have an office in Sacramento and an office in El Dorado Hills. I feel well versed in the challenges facing modern day teens and their families. I also love working with adults from all walks of life! My therapeutic work is informed by approaches including but not limited to: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Byron Katie’s “The Work”, Elaine Aron’s Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My diverse experience working with teens and families enable me to help you achieve well-being in your family or personal life.
