Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, and also a Core Faculty Professor in a PsyD Program, where I teach courses in the theory and practice of psychotherapy. As a depth psychologist, my focus is psychodynamic with a strong Psychoanalytic and Jungian influence. Depth Psychology takes special account of the way we relate to self and other and how certain relational patterns, put into place from childhood, impact our day-to-day experiences. My specialties include grief counseling, relational conflicts, self-esteem issues & life transitions.

"I enjoy facilitating individual healing and growth for individuals, couples and families in order to find a path to thrive through difficult life transitions and stressful times."

Therapy holds the potential to be life-changing, offering an opportunity to get to know yourself better, tend to old wounds, and tap into your core energy.

My role is to meet you wherever you might be and walk alongside you as we honor your intuition, develop a deeper understanding of your emotions, and cultivate tools for grounding. My approach is holistic and seeks to address your whole being.
