healing through trauma, anxiety, & depression

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY IN SACRAMENTO

Therapy is a place that you can utilize to deepen your understanding of self, acquire new ways of coping, unlearn unhealthy or toxic relationship dynamics, or just have a breathing space to exist and be as you are. Holding the reality that we live in a society that seeks to dehumanize our existence, my own approach to counseling encompasses inviting clients to lean towards the fullest, most authentic version of themselves - one that honors their strengths, worthiness, and aliveness


even if you are a small forest surviving off of moon alone.
your light is extraordinary.
