Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Therapists in Sacramento, CA

I love helping people let go of the codependent/people-pleasing strategies that often arise in response to a difficult family member. Seeing my clients find more confidence and inner strength is why I do this work.

I have worked in the field of psychology for 26 years now in various capacities, including group homes for children and community mental health centers; I've acted as the Director of Mental Health at a large urban preschool for many years, and also with people of all ages in private practice. My work in the last 5 years has focused more on trauma/EMDR and nervous system regulation (Polyvagal Theory with Stephen Porges) for adolescents and adults as well as parenting support with a speciality in parenting neurodivergent chilren. I have also spent time supervising both psychology trainees and marriage and family interns. I truly love what I do and am always adding to my professional skills over time.

Caring-hearted, when painful experiences disrupt you, find peace. Helping Good-Hearted Confident People Recover from a Life Shock! If your life was disrupted by an unexpected experience and you cannot stop the cycles of self-doubt, sorrow or frustration, help is here. While you have achieved some success and happiness, a curve ball has changed your emotions. You wish for life to feel like a warm hug or uplifting event but instead you are exhausted from grief and perhaps, confusion. This leads to loneliness. You long to find peace.

I really love what I do and I'm passionate about helping men become the fullest versions of themselves. It is my goal to help you connect to your sense of purpose, to yourself and to those you love most in your life. Therapy helps us to understand what's getting in the way and target those obstacles to help you start living, not just doing. If this resonates with you, let's get to work.

Sacramento is the state capital with a large government and public sector workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of public service careers, bureaucratic work environments, and the emotional toll of policy work. The city's location in the Central Valley means it serves diverse communities including large Latino, Southeast Asian, and Hmong populations, with demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists well established. UC Davis Health provides major institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community serving Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, and the surrounding suburbs. Sacramento's lower cost of living relative to the Bay Area has attracted many therapists from the region, expanding the range of available care.
