Philosophy:
My hope is that our counseling relationship may provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I view every person as having an array of strengths, as well as the ability to solve their own problems when taught how to utilize those strengths.
I believe emotional discomfort often stems from learned beliefs and learned thought patterns, but with therapy, you can relearn how to think about your problems and life in general. My goal is to help you identify adaptive ways of thinking that aid your personal growth.
In addition to individual therapy, I also help families discover new ways of behaving and functioning together as a system. I strive to develop a partnership with parents through which we can help your child/teen learn new ways of behaving and adapting. I very much enjoy working with couples, parents/children and families because I see relationships as strong systems which directly influence the ways we act and think as individuals.
I am registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences as a marriage family therapist intern #60976. In Roseville I practice under Katie Thomas #MFC43045, through The Place Within. In Sacramento I practice under Dale Stevenson #MFC44361, through WellSpring Community Clinic. Because I am an intern, I am able to offer very low fee sessions. Rates work on a sliding scale basis, which enables me to work with you to make counseling affordable.
To improve your life, you must be willing to do the work yourself, but I would like to help you along your way. I very much look forward to beginning a journey of growth and healing with you.
