Friendly Talk Therapy

Going at a pace you’re comfortable with, we’ll practice approaches to help you gain awareness of your present strengths, and identify solutions that’ll move you toward an improved future. I’ll be by your side as we explore tough, opposing perspectives to help you cultivate habits of making mindful, effective, and sustainable choices. My goal is to give you a place in Sacramento to speak openly about your thoughts, emotions, struggles, and hopes that might be too uncomfortable for you to share with others. Whether you’d like to talk about your experiences with anxiety, depression, relationships, substance-use, sex, or other hard to discuss concerns, I’m here for you. I got your back! Treatment will center around the practice of cultivating your sense of overall balance. Skills reviewed will focus on growing your ability to 1) observe your experiences from a grounded state, 2) manage challenging moments, 3) shift to preferred emotions, and 4) strengthen connections with others and yourself. We'll spend time exploring not just meaningful steps to you, but also sustainable steps. You can expect use of Solutions-Focused Therapy to lay out inner strengths you already have to work from.
