Offering in-person and Telehealth, Sacramento, CA

You can sustain happiness, inner peace, and meaningful relationships through learning to reconnect with your inner self, others, and your outside environment.

Whether you are seeking to cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth, heal past trauma, or develop coping skills to manage depression and anxiety, I will provide the guidance and support you need to enhance your overall well-being in person or from the comfort of your own home via telehealth.

It is an honor and privilege to be with you on your healing journey to find internal and external safety in a world that is often unpredictable and sometimes scary. We all have unique journeys, but you are not alone. Through a tailored co-created treatment plan, I help clients build the tools they need for emotional regulation, increased mindfulness, self-compassion, effective conflict management, changing maladaptive behaviors, and learning to forgive oneself and others.

I am multiracial and have experience working with diverse communities, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My training includes helping clients face unresolved trauma, grief, substance dependency, anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, and common thinking errors, as well as sex therapy. I practice compassion-focused and strength-based psychotherapy. I integrate Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance-Based Therapy, and Attachment-based Therapy looking at the connection between an infant and the primary caregivers. I am certified in Gottman Couples Training Levels 1 and 2. When appropriate, I utilize Transdiagnostic LGBT-Affirmative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and gender-affirming care to address the unique stressors of the LGBTQ+ community and the client’s individual needs.

As a two-time breast cancer survivor I know the importance of self-care and healing. I hope I can help you in your healing journey.

I am currently taking on new clients.
