Therapy for Adults · Sacramento Metro East + California Telehealth
How I work, and where to start.
Most of the people I work with arrive knowing something has to change, without knowing exactly what to ask for. This page is a map. Find the part that sounds most like where you are, and start there.
Who this is for
You are managing the outside of your life well and feeling stretched thin underneath it. Maybe you are anxious in a way that sleep does not fix. Maybe you keep everyone else okay and have lost track of what you want. Maybe the same patterns keep repeating in your relationships and your family. You do not need to have it named before you reach out. That is part of the work.
Where to start
Three kinds of work, often overlapping in the same person.
Grouping 01
Finding your way back to yourself.
The people-pleasing, the self-doubt, the over-functioning, and the long cost of staying agreeable until you have lost track of who you are. Codependency, boundaries, and family-of-origin patterns live here.
Grouping 02
Anxiety that does not turn off.
The worry that does not turn off, racing thoughts, broken sleep, the low dread that something is about to give. With or without kids in the picture.
Grouping 03
The load of parenting.
Parenting is one of the places the stretched-thin feeling shows up hardest. Anxiety, resentment, the mental load, and the patterns from your own childhood showing up in how you parent.
What this is not
This is not advice-giving, and it is not a program that promises to fix you in a set number of sessions. It is not parenting coaching or behavior-management consultation. It is therapy: a real, paced relationship where you figure out what is actually going on and what you want to do about it.
Fees and insurance
One number, said plainly.
$170 per 50-minute session. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available, please ask. I am out-of-network with insurance and provide superbills you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.
Common questions
A few practical questions.
Do you take insurance?
I am out of network with insurance. I can provide a monthly superbill you can submit to your plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
How much is a session?
A 50-minute session is $170. A sliding scale is available, so please ask.
Do you offer telehealth across California?
Yes. I work by secure video with clients anywhere in California, and in person at my Rancho Cordova office for those nearby.
Where do I start?
The simplest first step is a free 15-minute consultation. We talk through what is going on and whether we are a good fit, with no pressure to commit.
Not sure where you fit?
That is normal, and it is fine.
The first conversation is fifteen minutes, free, and no paperwork. We talk about what is going on for you and where it makes sense to start.
