Find a Therapist in Carmichael, California.

Psychotherapy is a journey toward understanding yourself and how you relate to others. Many people are surprised to discover parts of themselves that were relatively unexplored and misunderstood. As we move along the process of self-exploration and self-understanding, the goal is to have greater awareness of our intentions, our feelings, our perceptions and how those thoughts and feelings drive our behavior. We also work toward greater self-acceptance and self-compassion as we work toward becoming better versions of ourselves.

My approach to psychotherapy is mostly relational. I take a family systems approach that addresses relationships in my clients' lives and improves their functioning for better health and happiness. Clients under my care learn how to unilaterally improve the functioning of a relationship through boundaries and self-confrontation. The result is individuals and relationships that thrive.

Psychotherapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or simply unsure of your next steps, therapy can help you make sense of your experience and move forward with more clarity and self-compassion. In our work together, you’ll find support for exploring your emotions, strengthening your relationships, and developing a deeper understanding of what matters most to you. My approach is grounded, relational, and collaborative. You don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy can be the starting point for meaningful, lasting change.

I believe that psychotherapy can be based on individual, couples, or family work. In my approach, I use a combination of family of origin, narrative, CBT, and solution focused based techniques, to explore the process of the relationships that you are discussing or between whoever is in the room. Please see my website for more details on my approach.

As a licensed therapist, I used different models and theories when working with clients. I have a strong background psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychotherapy helps the client understand what helps them feel positive or anxious, as well as accepting their strong and weak points. If people can identify their feelings and ways of thinking they become better at coping with difficult situations.

Are you interested in getting relief and finding solutions? Would you like to feel good about your life and relationships? I use empirical research and science across multiple disciplines to show clients just like you how you can get real-world, tangible, time-tested, and long-lasting, results that lead to optimal mental and relational health. Mental and relational health is not just a reduction in symptoms and problems. Instead, they are increases in self-control and empowerment, as well as acceptance, freedom, kindness, compassion, safety, and understanding - for yourself and others.

I'm a seasoned licensed individual therapist with a focus on how relationships shape our personalities and overall mental health. I use a comprehensive blend of therapeutic approaches including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, and Object-Relations Psychotherapy. Tailoring to the unique needs of individuals seeking personal growth, I empower clients to explore underlying patterns and emotional complexities. With an empathetic and goal-oriented perspective, clients find a path towards self-awareness, emotional balance, and confidence. My deep commitment to individual well-being positions me as an ideal guide for those seeking to transform and enhance their lives in therapy.

I assist my clients in initiating change in the their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through adaptation. Together we will focus on the psychological roots of your emotional suffering. Through self-reflection and self-examination, we will alleviate the most obvious symptoms and help you lead a healthier life. I use the following techniques to treat various psychological conditions and situations: Behavioral therapy (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational enhancement therapy, controlled exposure with response prevention) Interactive group therapy (e.g., family therapy) Mindfulness Relaxation training Psychodynamic therapy

I have a wholisitic, integrative approach to providing therapy. I use my own soul-wisdom from years of working with clients and with my own psychological processes. I offer techniques that have worked from my own healing path. One of the things I help clients with is doing the deeper "shadow" work on themselves--meaning, to get in touch with and work through the hidden, unconscious aspects of oneself that are projected out onto others and onto the world.

Everyone will encounter situations in life that will cause them to struggle at some point, and to be uncertain of which direction to go in order to cope. Therapy can help one in discovering more about how they are responding to their struggles, gain insight into their belief systems about themselves and how they perceive the world around them too, and how these beliefs are contributing to their experience with their emotions and thoughts. You are capable of doing this work and I can support you. You are worth the support! Let me help you discover how you can lead a more fulfilled and satisfied life.

Therapy is not a one size fits all experience. Though I extensively trained to understand specific theories of practice, I utilize a "prescriptive" approach. This means I will adapt to your needs in treatment. Therapy is co-created, it is relational, and it is in the therapeutic relationship where we seek personal growth to apply outside the therapy room. I work with adult individual clients who are grieving a significant loss, LGBTIQ+ adults, adults with creative blocks, neurodivergent adults, people pleasers, those recovering from trauma, and adults burnt out about their work.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
