Therapy for Growth, Clarity, and Connection

I offer compassionate, collaborative therapy for adults—both in person in Roseville, CA, and online throughout California. I support individuals and professionals who want to improve communication in relationships, set healthier boundaries, build lasting self-confidence, and better navigate stress, anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm. I also specialize in working with highly sensitive people, as well as those living with chronic pain or fatigue, recognizing the impact these conditions can have on emotional well-being. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, parts work, and mind–body awareness, I help clients develop emotional resilience, deepen self-awareness, and create more balance and empowerment in their lives.

Techniques

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps one become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking to help improve emotional regulation and change behaviors.

Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping)

Works by tapping on specific points on the body as a way to process emotions. This technique is derived from acupuncture/acupressure trigger points.

Motivational Interviewing

Designed to enhance an individual’s motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. Identifying pros and cons of change and consequences of each option.

Brainspotting

By targetting specific eye positions known as brainspots, a therapist can help a client access and resolve unprocessed trauma stored in the mid-brain, promoting healing and change.

Mindfulness

Shifts awareness to the present moment while acknowledging thoughts, feelings, and body sensations.

Mind-Body Technique

Focuses on tuning into the body’s natural responses to unlock answers that the brain has unconsciously stored away. This technique aims to help individuals move past areas that are not consciously available during talk therapy.

Populations Served

Young Adults

I find this to be an extremely exciting time in one’s life and feel privileged to be part of this growth period. In counseling, we focus on navigating through the world, gaining perspective on what it means to be independent and finding one’s true authentic self.

Those who want to improve Interpersonal Skills & Emotional Boundaries

Interpersonal relationships are a huge part of our lives, and we often run into conflicts and barriers that prevent us from having more intimate and productive relationships. I work with individuals by better understanding their attachment style and defense mechanisms, to then develop techniques to meet their own needs as well as validating and respecting others.

Survivors of Traumatic Event(s)

I am drawn to this group because I am a trauma survivor myself and I know how much it can impact one’s life and impede growth. For those who have experienced sexual, verbal, emotional, psychological, or physical abuse, I am here to help. By implementing specific techniques such as somatic experiencing, brainspotting, tapping, etc., clients are able to heal from past trauma and enjoy moving on from it.

Adults Who Experience Anxiety and/or Depression

I am here to work alongside you to identify behavioral patterns, negative thoughts and triggers that impeded in functioning to your greatest potential. Whether you are newly suffering with anxiety and/or depression or have experienced it for a while, we can recognize what holds you back and develop coping skills specific to your strengths and interests.

Self-Care for Chronic Pain and Fatigue

Through my own life-long journey in this area, I have found ways to better cope with experiencing chronic pain and fatigue. I’m in the process of creating a group of individuals who are struggling in this area. Ideally, I would like this group to start in the Spring of 2026.

High Profile Professionals

I work with professionals who carry a lot on their shoulders. Therapy offers a private and confidential space to manage stress, strengthen relationships, and find balance without judgment. My goal is to help you move beyond simply ‘holding it together’ and toward a more grounded, fulfilling way of living.

Highly Sensitive People

I also specialize in working with highly sensitive people who often feel overwhelmed by stress, relationships, or the demands of daily life. Therapy offers a gentle, understanding space to honor your sensitivity while building resilience and confidence.

Investment in Your Well-Being

Sessions are $165 for 50 minutes, and I accept cash, checks, credit cards as well as HSA/FSA cards. If you’d like to use out-of-network benefits, I’m happy to provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance. Many of my clients appreciate the flexibility and privacy that comes with paying directly.

Contact me

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself, that’s a sign something needs nurturing. You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Let’s talk. You’re worthy of support, and I’m here to help. Serving the greater Rosevile, CA area.
