Grief Therapists in Sacramento, CA

If you are a Veteran or just feeling blah, unmotivated, or stuck in a rut, you're in the right place. I love helping people climb out of their rut to find joy again. Life can be stressful and overwhelming, you don't have to face it alone. Whether depression, anxiety or grief, my focus is care and devotion to you, offering a warm, secure place to work through your thoughts, feelings, and troubles regarding the pressures of living, demands of job, family, school and social media.

Taking a closer look at a difficult experience takes strength and I appreciate your reaching out for guidance and support. Whether to manage a recent event, like a significant loss or transition, or to process an early issue that continues to impact your sense of worth, my role is to come to understand your experience and to externalize the issue so we can approach it in a way that is manageable. We will examine to what degree practiced coping strategies support current needs and we will call on strengths and supports that serve you. I will offer you information and strategies useful in developing a sense of wellbeing.

Please use this profile to reach me directly! Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I believe in the importance of a good relational fit for your therapy to be meaningful and make a difference in your life. My therapy approach is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where we can partner together to set and reach your goals using both client-centered and strengths-based approaches. I feel that clients are the experts of their lives and determine the direction and depth of their time in therapy. This means I begin where you are at and strive to foster a collaborative and supportive environment.

I often work with people who grapple with hard questions to which there is no one "right" answer. I offer a non-judegmental atmosphere in which each person can seek his or her own answers. Therapy is a co-creation. I work with each person to find what "speaks" to him / her. That may include talking, mindfulness practices, or creative arts therapies. Using these methods accesses parts of the brain that can't be reached through words alone, and puts people in the flow of their wisdom and creativity, from which solutions to problems can emerge.

Hello- I have worked with adults and children for the duration of my 27 year long career. I have extensive experience with clients of different age groups, ethnicities, trauma histories, and life transitions. Feelings of loss, depression or anxiety, and adjustment can be difficult to manage in today's world. The world is changing every day - everyone needs assistance now and again. My goal in therapy with you is to create a safe compassionate experience where you can share your feelings and emotions.

I believe that when you first begin therapy, you hope to make changes in yourself that will improve your life. Possible changes might include ending the feeling that you are basically bad, or always at fault, or never good enough, or unlovable. You are aware that such feelings have caused you to lose valued relationships, caused you failure in school or at work, and possibly caused you to behave in ways you regret. If you are usually depressed, anxious, lonely or feeling guilty, you hope that therapy will bring relief, that you can finally begin enjoying your life.

You are committed to feeling better, you've tried everything, but still you feel lost in the pain. You've always been able to "fix" things in your life, why not this? This time, you feel stuck.

There is a way through.
