Offering Counseling Services Online and Face-to-Face in the Folsom Area
Does This Sound Like You?
- You feel stuck - There are changes you want to make but you're not sure where to start, or you have no idea what needs to change but you know something just isn't quite right.
- You feel confident, followed by the voice of self-doubt and you question yourself.
- You have this nagging sense that you've done something wrong, upset someone, or that you are just inherently flawed.
- You wonder why you feel the way you do and you feel guilt and shame about your thoughts and feelings.
- You've been told that you are too much, too sensitive, or maybe just weird.
- You are chronically worried about everyone else's feelings while yours are on the back burner. Some might call you a people-pleaser and you have difficulty saying no.
- You rarely ask for help because you are afraid it might inconvenience other people or they'd probably just let you down, so you do it yourself.
- You constantly worry and stress about how you should be doing things.
What if it didn't have to be this hard? How different would your life be in you could...
- Go from self-criticism to self-celebration & feel confident being yourself while going for what you want.
- Hold space for your past without allowing it to intrude on the present, doing things grounded in self trust, authenticity and integrity, making room for the limitless possibilities of your future.
- Be brave even in the moments that scare you the most.
- Go from hiding, avoidance, and denial of your own wants and needs to validating yourself so you can connect and communicate more effectively with the people in your life.
Specialties
Trauma & Anxiety Therapy
I help people who've experienced traumas and have a hard time trusting, feeling safe, are stuck on "high alert" or are feeling like they're always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I utilize evidence- based treatment modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), all of which I have extensive training in and years of experience practicing.
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Narcissistic abuse recovery is the healing process someone goes through after experiencing emotional, psychological, or even physical abuse from a narcissistic individual. This kind of abuse often involves manipulation, gaslighting, control, and a cycle of idealization and devaluation, leaving victims feeling confused, unworthy, and emotionally drained.
Key Aspects of Recovery include:
- Understanding the Abuse
- Breaking Trauma Bonds
- Rebuilding Self-Worth
- Setting Boundaries
- Processing Emotional Trauma
Emotional Abuse & Neglect
Emotional abuse and neglect can have long-lasting effects, but healing is possible with the right approach.
Independent Codependents
What is an independent codependent? Someone who has learned to put others' needs before their own, because you learned the only way to get what you want is to do it yourself.
This can be great. You can take care of yourself and don't need too much help. Maybe you thrive at work, seem super autonomous, and your friends and romantic partners love that you are so chill and laid back.
The problem is it's just not sustaina
