How I Work (ACT‑Led, Evidence‑Based)

  • ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy):

    In the Sacramento Metro area, many clients balance demanding roles in state government, healthcare, and tech. ACT helps reduce avoidance and stress while staying aligned with values—even in a fast-paced environment.

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy):

    CBT helps reframe trauma-shaped beliefs that impact daily life—workplace performance, commute stress, and family interactions.

  • CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy):

    Especially effective for veterans and first responders in the Sacramento region, CPT targets stuck trauma beliefs around safety, trust, and control.

  • PE (Prolonged Exposure, when appropriate):

    Used gently and only with consent, PE helps reduce avoidance tied to specific local triggers (e.g., certain neighborhoods, routes, or reminders of past events).

  • Mindfulness & Grounding:

    Practical regulation skills you can use anywhere—walking the American River Parkway, during a Capitol workday, or between meetings downtown.

What to Expect in Therapy

First Session

We’ll clarify your goals and history with care and awareness of Sacramento’s pace of life, balancing work in state government, healthcare, tech, or education with your recovery needs. You’ll leave with a collaborative plan and first steps to practice right away.

Online and In-Person Care (Confidential & Flexible)

Sessions are offered via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform or in-person by appointment in Folsom. My insurance-free private practice ensures full confidentiality, especially valued by Capitol employees, first responders, and clients in security-sensitive roles. Superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement.

Frequency & Duration

Most Sacramento-area clients meet weekly or bi-weekly for 50-minute sessions. Depending on your needs, we can use structured evidence-based protocols (8–16 sessions) or longer-term trauma recovery work. I adapt to your schedule, whether you’re commuting from Elk Grove, working in Downtown Sacramento, or balancing family life in Folsom or Roseville.
