Holistic therapy for adults with influences from Yoga and Buddhism
Davis | West Sacramento | Sacramento | Greater California
I believe that all obstacles in life are an opportunity for personal growth, personal transformation, and self-actualization and, as a therapist, I leverage these difficulties as a means to greater introspection and self-knowledge with the ultimate aim of helping individuals get more deeply in touch with themselves and a more stable experience of happiness.

Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage!
I am a Licensed Psychologist in the state of California who conducts therapy via telehealth. My form of thinking is that when I work with someone I try to help them grow, change, and transform into the person they wish to, because I believe in the infinite potential of the human being. I see difficulties in life – perhaps why you are considering counseling – as an opportunity for even higher highs and greater growth, if taken with the right attitude.
While I think it is important to focus on immediately reducing pain and suffering, I think that in the long run the best approach involves taking a long-term view of the situation, so that the change implemented is resilient to future struggles in life and is more permanent, rather than a temporary fix.
