Therapy that meets you where you are has two meanings for me, of course in the therapeutic sense in that therapists follow their client’s lead in treatment, and also that I provide virtual services. While in person sessions tend to be the gold standard, I actually think there are some real benefits to telehealth that many actually prefer (myself included). People can choose to meet where they are most comfortable (their home office, couch, bed), and I love it. I especially enjoy that clients can show me things they are working on or excited about. Did you know that listening and showing genuine interest in others’ hobbies and what matters to them is one of the most validating and supportive things you can do? Try it and notice how your relationships might strengthen with those around you.

As far as my treatment methods go, I take a person-centered, integrative approach to therapy, which means I focus on you rather than following a single method. My job is to listen deeply, understand what’s weighing on you, and work alongside you to find what helps. I tailor therapy to your needs, and if something isn’t working, we adjust and find a better path forward together.

I include a combination of cognitive and somatic interventions, as I am a strong believer in the brain body connection and the neuroscience behind everything. Some of these include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, as I believe our values greatly impact our wellbeing. Moral injury is a very real thing. I also assess attachment patterns, and focus on strengthening your support networks, as we are in an epidemic of loneliness which carries significant health implications. Somatic approaches may bring things to light that we would never know to focus on with strictly cognitive based methods.

I specialize in ADHD, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and trauma. I am licensed to practice therapy in California, and I currently serve the Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, and greater Sacramento areas. Since services are virtual, I can also provide services anywhere in California. Reach out if you think we might be a good fit!
