Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling to thrive. I specialize in working with poly/kink/lgbtq and non-traditional populations. I deliver services in English and provide service on a sliding-scale fee schedule. I service clients in-person in the greater Sacramento area, and anywhere in California via confidential videoconferencing.

Have you been feeling lost in life? Do you struggle with the weight of past experiences, the complexity of navigating your identity, or the stress of an overactive mind? As a queer, non-binary clinical social worker with an expansive range of lived and professional experience, I understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent folx in a world that often misunderstands us. Your needs, values, and goals are of upmost importance, and I will compassionately support you in bringing them into alignment with your authentic self.

My approach is trauma-informed, transdiagnostic, person-centered, strengths-based, and rooted in evidence-based third-wave CBT modalities such as ACT, DBT, and MCT. Mental health issues are multidimensional and unique to the individual. Through inquisitive collaboration, we will identify and address your unique needs according to your values and goals.

I see you, and I hear you. If you’re facing challenges with connecting to those who truly understand and care about you, having difficulty cultivating love with yourself and others, experiencing self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from your authentic self, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can embark on a journey toward your healing and peace.

You’re having trouble communicating your needs, struggling with a sudden change, or feeling stuck with anxiety or depression—no matter the case, you deserve to take care of yourself. I believe life is a journey full of transitions, twists, and turns. Sometimes these transitions are not what we expect and we’re left feeling anxious, confused, or discouraged. No matter where you find yourself in life, there is a way forward. I believe we’re all doing the best we can and sometimes we need some extra support.

I can help guide couples/individuals through communication issues, self-exploration, identifying/expressing needs, anxiety/depression, OCD, spiritual questioning, and life transitions (breakups, new relationships, job changes, parenting). I affirm all identities and relationships (LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, kink, etc.) and would love to work with you!

My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and solution-focused. I believe all people are worthy, resilient, and capable of thriving. But sometimes we get stuck. It can be difficult to reach out for help and I appreciate the courage it takes. I’m here to offer you a safe and non-judgemental space for self-discovery and change. Let’s move forward together.

I provide individual, couples, group therapy as well as groups for relationship coaching, which is open to anyone anywhere (can live outside of Oregon), the group is a processing and community building group for people in open/ENM/polyamorous relationships.

I specialize in trauma therapy with people who identify as LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergent folks, ethical non-monogamous relationships, and people working in the mental health field. I utilize an eclectic style to meet the unique needs of each individual. My approach is down to earth, relational and real. People need to feel seen, supported non judgmentally, and affirmed in order to heal.

Areas of Interest: Polyam/kink/SOGI communities, eating disorders. Age Range of Clients: 10 years old and up

I am a sex-positive therapist. I work with clients of all genders and relationships of all constellations. I utilize techniques from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Attachment-Focused Therapy. I look forward to working with you!

Therapy is a process. It is a living and breathing evolution in understanding. And self-discovery is both the journey and the destination.

Curiosity about yourself, and the desire to understand the way your world works, is the jumping-off point. What is your primary way of knowing what you know? What are your defenses and where do they come from? What is your range of emotions and how do they serve you? What drives you, and what holds you back?

Heightening our own awareness of our intentions, our triggers, assumptions we make, and patterns we repeat, gives us a keener sense of our strengths, limitations, and purpose. Change is a constant in the universe-at-large and in our personal sets of circumstances. In asking (and answering) these questions of ourselves, we develop our own unique set of tools to adapt, cope, heal and thrive. (What we are conscious of, we control. What we are unconscious of controls us. - Anonymous)

My areas of special focus include sex workers, alternative sexuality and gender, polyamorous lifestyles, body image, and personal and family relationships. The space we will create together will be one of non-judgment and unconditional understanding. And you will set the direction, pace and boundaries of our conversation.

So, whenever you are ready, come on in. Have a seat. I am looking forward to knowing you.

I practice with a commitment to the dignity of all people. Your personal history is as important as the historical contexts that inform the systems we live in. I carefully calibrate the pace at which we move, and I always prioritize your choice and autonomy in the process of therapy. (Trauma-Informed and Feminist orientation) To support the discovery of new angles, I might ask you to re-imagine your experiences with a new lens. (Narrative Therapy) I believe the past is ripe for insight and I believe in nurturing all of our selves, past present, and future. (Psychodynamic Theory) Life is hard to do alone. I’m on the side of self-love AND I believe our communities and relationships offer a unique opportunity to grow and know ourselves. Every relationship – including the one you and I might start together – is a new lab for healing and exploration, and every relationship holds answers to the mysteries in our selves. (Relational/Attachment Theory)

I work well with clients who want to understand why they’re doing what they do. Whether “single” or “partnered” (all relationships matter, not just the romantic ones), I support all my clients in bridging the gaps between themselves and the people in their lives. I support clients with a wide variety of social identities, relationship formations, and concerns – including: anxiety & depression, symptoms of trauma, identity struggles, existential dilemmas, non-monogamy, and grief. I work with adults – individuals, couples, and friends.

I work from a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed lens to focus on my client’s individual needs and goals. I work with folks of all ages and a variety of concerns, but I primarily work with the LGBTQ+ community and/or those experiencing trauma and dissociative disorders.

Compassionate help for lifes challenges.

Personal and relational counselling is some of the most challenging, and potentially rewarding, work we can do to develop and improve connections with others and ourselves, inside and outside of intimate, familial, social, and professional relationships. I help clients better understand the influence of interconnected thoughts, feelings, stories, values, and expectations on conscious and subconscious behaviors and decision-making patterns. I can also help reconnect them with the strengths and resources available to, and within, themselves in times of crisis.
