EMDR, Trauma & Couples Therapy in Sacramento, CA
Healing Hearts & Minds
Welcome
“We are born with a need for attachment and a need for authenticity.” – Gabor Maté
Past experiences, unresolved trauma, emotionally immature or narcissistic family dynamics, and attachment wounds can quietly shape how you see yourself, navigate relationships, manage stress, and respond to life. It can affect every area of life, including relationships, confidence, emotional regulation, work, parenting, and your ability to feel present and connected.
Therapy can help you better understand yourself, heal long-standing wounds, strengthen relationships, and move forward feeling more grounded, confident, and emotionally secure.
We specialize in trauma-focused therapy using EMDR, CBT and IAT to help individuals heal from:
Emotional abuse and narcissistic relationship wounds
Childhood trauma and emotionally immature family dynamics
Trauma and PTSD
Relationship and attachment wounds
Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional triggers, and chronic overthinking
Low self-esteem, shame, or feeling “not good enough” despite success
Perfectionism, over-achievement, burnout, academic or career pressure, and chronic stress
You may be struggling with…
People-pleasing, over-functioning, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions
Difficulty trusting yourself, chronic guilt, imposter syndrome, or harsh self-criticism
Feeling “not good enough” despite success, competence, achievement, or high performance
Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt or fear of disappointing others
Relationship struggles, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, or recurring unhealthy patterns
Losing yourself in relationships or repeating emotionally unhealthy dynamics
Emotional reactivity, emotional shutdown, or feeling disconnected from yourself
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone—and you do not have to continue carrying it by yourself.
You’ve spent years holding it together for everyone else.
On the outside, you may look successful, capable, and strong. But inside, you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck repeating the same painful patterns.

Our Approach
We use evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Integrated Attachment Theory (IAT), to help clients move beyond simply coping. My goal is to help you understand why these patterns developed, heal the experiences that created them, and build healthier relationships, greater confidence, and lasting emotional peace.
As a practicing Catholic therapist, I also offer faith-informed counseling for clients who would like to incorporate their Christian faith into the therapeutic process.
We provide in-person counseling for adults and couples throughout Sacramento, Arden-Arcade, East Sacramento, Campus Commons, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, Folsom, Roseville, and nearby communities, with telehealth available across California. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or the lasting impact of past experiences, therapy can help you understand your story, heal what no longer serves you, and move forward with greater confidence, connection, and peace.
