If so, you’ve come to the right place! I have extensive training and experience in helping people overcome all types of challenges. Combined with your hard work, professional counseling can help you overcome almost any problem. Perhaps you struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, or depression. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same pattern of behavior in relationships, jobs, etc. over and over again. Maybe you want help with your relationship, but your partner won't come in. Or maybe life simply isn’t working out as you hoped. Whatever brought you here, I can help.

Don’t be fooled by the license, “marriage and family therapist” – I work with individuals too. In fact, individuals comprise about 1/3 of my practice. I offer short-term, research-based counseling for a wide variety of challenges. You’ll find that I am caring and compassionate, yet provide encouragement, direction and skills as well. When working with me you’ll likely feel heard and understood, yet warmly challenged and stretched as well.

I have found that more and more potential clients are interested in what theories guide my individual counseling. Most importantly, I like to get a sense of you and your challenges before I decide which approach to take. My most commonly used approach is Bowen Family System theory, though I am also comfortable using systemic models such as Cognitive-Behavioral, Narrative, Object Relations, and mindfulness-based approaches.

I typically meet with individual clients for 45-50 minutes once a week, though that can vary depending on your needs. My office is conveniently located just off the freeway in Roseville.

If you’re ready to hop in, give me a call at (916) 561-3212 or email me to set up an appointment. If you’d like to talk with me before you make a decision, that’s fine too. I offer a free initial telephone or email consultation. I hope to hear from you!
