Introduction

Are you ready to make a real change in your life? I’m here to help you heal and grow. If you're dealing with anger, identity crises, depression, anxiety, trauma, or facing the challenges of cancer. I am interested in supporting people like you, including military veterans, individuals, and couples from all walks of life. My ideal client is anyone ready to heal. I work in a group practice where I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existentialism, trauma-informed care, and Stoic principles, focusing on what you can control and accepting what you cannot. Inspired by Plato’s wisdom on living a good life, I offer empathetic support to help you achieve meaning and purpose in your journey. With nearly a decade of experience, I’ve worked in various mental health settings, including Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), outpatient substance use treatment, and the LGBTQ+ center in Sacramento. In addition, I’ve served as a college professor, teaching graduate-level psychology. My diverse background and holistic approach allow me to tailor sessions to your unique needs, guiding you toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
