I currently take Optum Insurance, which is a clearinghouse for many insurances in Northern California.

Many couples and families improve communication and improve their quality of life by better understanding simple emotional regulation skills. Additionally, by understanding how our history affects our functioning, it can take the mystery out of our reactions. We work together to process big events that feel stuck and cause additional challenges. Many families are amazed at how simple changes can bring great relief.

Sometimes it helps to have a brief consultation to see if what I offer is a good fit. You are welcome to contact me at (916) 342-3258 during normal business hours.

My office is located in Carmichael at 8037 Fair Oaks Blvd., Suite 110. We have several therapists that are available if a referral is needed.

This method of processing significant events, or trauma, has proven over and over to be effective and can take much less time than traditional talk therapy. We begin by learning about how the brain stores events, and how they stick in the midbrain. When a similar event occurs later, the person feels an intense reaction that can feel overwhelming. By processing these events a person can "finish unfinished business" and move on without continued reactivity. I work with sexual abuse victims, veterans, accident victims, and various types of trauma. 

Some clients benefit from this type of brain training. I use BrainPaint. Many clients with ADHD, Anxiety, Inattention, etc. can benefit.
