Find a Therapist in Live Oak, California.

I offer one on one counseling for people seeking the depth of insight and self awareness only psychotherapy can offer. We will look at family patterns and life experiences that shaped and conditioned your responses today, while to helping to heal and update your image of yourself today. We will bring humor, insight, tools, new attitudes and perspectives to help you cope with your past and bring you into a new life in the present - healthy, happy, whole, on your terms.

Psychotherapy is not anything to be scared of, or intimidated about. Seeking out a therapist or being in therapy isn't an admission of weakness or some kind of character flaw. Therapy is a collaborative process and a partnership with someone who is trained in and experienced with facilitating personal growth. And in this process, you are in the driver's seat. Our minds and emotions and relationships involve complicated machinery just like our bodies do and in the same way a medical doctor helps you stay physically healthy, Psychotherapy is designed to help you be and stay mentally and socially strong, and continually in a position to take on life's many challenges as your best self.

I have 20 years of diverse professional experiences and extensive training. I am a published writer, lecturer and passionate about my field. I specialize working with Individual Adults and Teens. My style is conversational, and I strive for a collaborative and compassionate practice with my clients. Though, I am trained in a variety of therapies, I primarily work in narrative and psychodynamic theory. Additionally, I may draw upon other similar or complimentary theoretical approaches to create a highly personalized treatment plan based on your needs and goals.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone needs help sometimes. Life's challenges can sometimes feel too big or too many to face alone. I think of therapy as a partnership where you can tell me your story not only to feel relief because you don't have to carry it alone, but also so that you can resolve your dilemmas, or even become aware of a life pattern that has stopped you from getting what you have always longed for. I would like to join with you to help you face whatever challenges are before you so that you can develop the self-support and confidence to get through your difficulties, or maybe even to develop a more secure way of being for the very first time. It's possible, and you don't have to do it by yourself.

Do you feel stuck in old patterns? Do painful themes keep repeating themselves in your life, in your relationships? Are you ready for a new beginning, a new approach to your life? Do you want to live more in tune with what you want? When you enter the door of psychotherapy, you are entering a unique space where you get the chance to truly transform your life, by slowly starting to shed the old patterns. It is an amazing process that truly speaks to the human capacity for freedom. Are you ready to break free? I would be honored to assist you in your journey. Please know, that my door is open and that I have a space waiting for you. I am looking forward to working with you.
