Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of addiction, unsure of how to break free? Maybe you've tried to quit before, but it feels like there's something deeper holding you back—emotions, trauma, or relationships that keep drawing you toward unhealthy patterns. At the California Center for Change, we understand how overwhelming this can feel, and we're here to help you take the next step. As therapists who specialize in addiction, we offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can explore the underlying issues contributing to your struggles. Together, we’ll work not just on the addiction itself, but on the emotional pain, trauma, or stress that might be driving it. We believe that true recovery comes when we address the whole person, and that includes the important people in your life. We work closely with family and loved ones, helping them understand the process of change and empowering them to support your journey in a healthy way. By creating a supportive environment, we can work toward lasting change. You don't have to do this alone. We're here to support you through this process, offering both the clinical tools and the compassion needed to navigate your path to recovery.

Perhaps you have felt you do not fit in somehow in your family, your community, or the larger world. Perhaps you have been navigating multiple cultural identities inside. Perhaps you have felt like your spirit is tender and the struggles of your life are too much to endure. Perhaps you have felt that other people have figured it out and you have been comparing your insides to other people's outsides. And you have felt alone, maybe scared, and confused. And now you want someone to help you be with it all. Now you want a compassionate heart and a steady presence to navigate these emotional terrains. I can be that for you. If you are looking for a thoughtful, compassionate, and direct therapist- let's talk. I value building relations over time where the depth of connection unfolds as more safety and trust grows. We can explore together the burdens you carry while we imagine a life you want.

The character of the therapist is an important factor in helping clients to change. I love my work and have a genuine respect for the people with whom I counsel. I form a team effort with clients as we work, because I consider both of us to be experts in dealing with their problems. Even though people may not feel like an expert, I am experienced at helping them recognize the expertise they have, then helping them to grow and develop more skills. Regardless of whether the issue is small or large, recent or long term, I give it my full care and attention. If you are considering KETAMINE TREATMENT in Sacramento or going to Oregon to experience PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS, let me help you make the most benefit from these medicines. They create neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to form new connections. Let me help you form HEALTHY new connections.

It can be very difficult to take steps towards positive change or to seek support when facing challenge in your life. Therefore, my primary goal when working with a new client is to create a comfortable environment. I strive to get to know you and to understand what you want from our work. I believe that each person's needs will be different, so I draw from a wide range of techniques to tailor therapy to your specific goals. These tools can help you address challenges, understand patterns in your life, improve relationships and accomplish your personal or professional goals. I practice a variety of research-supported therapies, often drawing from cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, acceptance, compassion based, and humanistic techniques.

Hi! I’m so glad you are here and taking steps towards putting yourself first. You may have found yourself in a challenging spot and are unsure of where to go or how to even imagine a world outside of your present moment. It may even seem easier to smile through the pain and respond with a typical “I’m fine” when someone asks how you’re doing. Well, I want to know how you are. I’m here to listen, help you learn new skills, and incorporate behaviors that lead to a better tomorrow. Beginning therapy can be scary and overwhelming. The fact that you are here searching for your next step is a great achievement and a sign you’re embarking on a significant life journey to wellness. Together I’d like to create an environment where you feel safe and comfortable to get started on that new journey. As a clinician, I want to establish a relationship that’s equal, empowering, kind, and honest. My goal is to embark on this adventure with you and assist you in recognizing new paths, turns, or hurdles in the process. My approach is person-centered and invites a more conversational session to unpack and discover what’s happening together. I will help you create a more compassionate relationship with yourself and find the stepping stones to your miracle world. How I work: I work to create a trusting relationship with each of my clients and utilize a person-centered approach that ensures a unique and personalized treatment plan. I will often integrate a cognitive behavioral or solution-focused intervention to assist you in understanding yourself and others around you to the best of your ability. My experience has granted me the opportunity to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational issues. I have learned that every client’s symptoms present differently and engaging with the client where they are presently has encouraged clients to acknowledge and confront things that aren’t working or are working great for them! I believe that acknowledging our challenges while simultaneously celebrating our victories is the most rewarding approach for both you and me! If you are feeling ready to turn the page and get started, please reach out, and let’s talk.

Life can change in an instant. What was once predictable, safe, and familiar is gone and we are left with the unknown. Life transitions, both big and small, require support. Some are easily manageable while others cause us to forget who we once were. In my practice I focus on working together to again find equilibrium. Sometimes we can't be who we once were but it absolutely does not mean we cannot discover who we are now or who we want to be in the future.

Whatever has brought you to this point in your search, counseling can help. I recognize that going to therapy can be challenging for some, so my goal is to make you feel at ease throughout the process. You might be seeking guidance, support, or simply a safe space to process your emotions. You can also be dealing with challenges that prevent you from feeling joyful, confident, or moving forward in your relationship or personal life. We can work together to find the core of your challenges, identify your strengths, and help you develop a sense of self. While completing top-of-the-line training at distinguished hospitals, I've worked with many individuals and families experiencing relationship difficulties, unresolved trauma, and other life challenges. My approach encompasses various evidence-based therapeutic strategies.

Hi! I'm glad you're here. Navigating the ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, or challenges like infertility can feel overwhelming and deeply personal. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way, offering support and understanding as you go through this journey. I find great fulfillment in walking alongside people as they navigate the many stages of life. My particular passion lies in supporting women as they experience the trials and triumphs of pregnancy, postpartum, and child-rearing. I also partner with women who are facing the heartache of infertility, miscarriage, and child loss.. When I was pregnant with my daughter a few years ago, I had the typical dream that I would move into motherhood smoothly and adjust to all the changes easily. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) throughout my pregnancy and suffered from intense Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. After working through my own healing journey, I realized that no parent should have to walk through these challenges alone. My goal is to provide you with a safe and supportive space where healing and growth can flourish. I am committed to meeting you with empowerment, encouragement, support, and empathy as you share your story.

The first step in any journey takes courage to start. And you already have! You're here. I know there is still a lot of shame around being vulnerable and asking for help. We live in a world that often demands perfection, high expectations, and pushing ourselves to the max. Struggling with depression, anger, or trauma does not make you a failure. It makes you human. I believe we all have the innate ability to heal ourselves, and therapy can support you in finding that clarity and empowerment. I specialize in adults with anger management, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also love working with teens, couples, and families. I can also provide reduced fees- ask! Being authentic takes courage. Being true to ourselves takes bravery. Be bold, be brave, and be you. And if you have lost yourself along the way, or are still looking, that's okay. It's OK not to be OK. We all forget our way in the dark. It sometimes takes the help of another or others to pull us through. Let me be that for you! Please feel free to contact me today.
