| Practice Description: |
As an experienced therapist, psychologist, and marriage counselor, I have treated varied and sometimes difficult problems faced by individuals, couples, and families. A careful assessment is made at the beginning of therapy and together we develop an individualized and specific plan which combines direction, compassion, and a belief in our ability to make positive changes. Sometimes therapy goals involve acceptance, sometimes they involve change, and we always strive for greater understanding of self and others. Each session, guided by specific therapy goals, is interactive, collaborative, and respectful. I have practiced psychotherapy and couples counseling for over 25 years in the Sacramento area and have seen the fields of applied psychology and mental health change and grow. We continue to develop and deepen our understanding of personal and interpersonal problems, motivation, and coping. There is much we can do to reduce suffering and to increase life satisfaction and positive connection with others. I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. Many couples come to therapy reporting conflicts about children, money, and/or sex. These areas of conflict often reflect deeper concerns with trust, connection, communication, control and intimacy.
I am comfortable working with people in recovery from addictions, including sex addiction. I have experience working with couples where there is infidelity and affairs, and I have helped them find a way back from the pain of betrayal.
