A spiral- A symbol of the Self and our journey to the Divine
Welcome to my Psychotherapy Practice! I am glad you are here. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and New York. I see clients in person in my office in Sacramento, CA as well as on-line, for residents in CA and NY.
In my practice, I see adolescents, adults, and couples. People describe me as warm, engaging, and well trained. I provide holistic, Depth-oriented psychotherapy. What is Depth therapy? Depth therapy aims to treat the roots of an individual’s struggle, focusing on the unconscious, or the parts of our self outside of our conscious awareness. We explore a client’s family-of-origin, traumas, current challenges, and the relationship that unfolds between the client and therapist. We examine societal, cultural and systemic forces which shape and influence us as individuals. We also look deeply at dreams, the unconscious, our shadow, projections, synchronicities, and emergent symbols, among other things, per the work of C.G. Jung. My goal is to help clients on their path of Individuation, to return to the Self. In spiritual language, I hope to help you on your path to Awakening. Everyone is on the path, consciously or unconsciously.
Conditions/Issue/Struggles I commonly see in my practice:
-“Impostor Syndrome”
-Depression
-Anxiety
-Trauma (both early childhood and major trauma)
-Relationship challenges (romantic, familial, friendship, or work)
-Work stressors/challenges
-Grief and loss
-Exploring career change/Existential Meaning
-Life Transitions (post-college/grad school, post-retirement, etc)
-Pre-and Post Psychadelic Medicine Journey work
-Finding a spiritual path
Couples often come in entrenched in dysfunctional patterns of communication and ways of interacting, feeling hopeless. My job is to create a safe, inviting space to help couples identify said patterns, break through them, and guide them to find new, positive, and loving ways to communicate with each other. Reaching a new level of emotional and physical intimacy is paramount for lasting change in couple work.
I have advanced training in Depth-Oriented, psychoanalytic therapy. I believe nurturing the body, mind and spirit are essential for transformation. I am passionate about helping clients find existential meaning, spirituality, and joy. I also work creatively with jazz and music, as jazz is one of my greatest joys in life.
I have training in and provide pre-psychadelic medicine journey preparatory sessions, as well as post-psychedelic medicine journey integration therapy. Participating in psychotherapy-going to the depths of one’s psyche in whatever form-is some of most important work one can do in a lifetime. When we are at our best as individuals, every aspect of our life effortlessly improves.
I am glad you are here as this requires courage. Finding the right therapist is essential; the fit should feel natural. Trust your gut! I’m truly honored to accompany clients on their healing journeys and view my work as sacred.
I am an out-of-network provider and do not take insurance. I do offer sliding-scale slots, so if this fits you and you feel compelled, please reach out!
