Reconnect with your
calm, clarity, and confidence.
We work with people who struggle to carve out space for their own wants and needs. This may be due to an overload of responsibilities (there's too much to do and too little time!), or a need for more self-compassion ("It's good for others to slow down for self-care, but I shouldn't do that.") This may all be worsened by grief or past trauma.
Our Sacramento Office
​Many of our clients are perfectionists, people-pleasers, or overthinkers. They're often helpers or leaders who have been conditioned to believe that they should carry everything on their shoulders without help, rest, or permission to play. ​
You may benefit from therapy or coaching with us if you are:
​
Chronically busy and feel robbed of space to nurture your emotions
Struggling to recover your confidence, sharp thinking, and emotional control after grief or trauma
Overwhelmed by anxiety, shame, or a sense of pressure to "have it all together"
Experiencing unwanted and uncharacteristic irritability or anger
Increasingly prone to procrastinate or avoid important responsibilities
Numb or 'zoned out' a lot because you've been 'on' for too long
​
It's time to stop surviving on autopilot. We can help you go from "just functioning" to
healing and thriving.
​​​
We offer specialized psychotherapy and coaching to help you get on a healthier track where you can:
​
Build more self-compassion and self-acceptance
Reevaluate and reorganize how you invest your energy, time, and effort
Quiet the inner critic and inner catastrophizer so you can achieve more with less tension
Reset from survival mode and get back to a peaceful emotional baseline
Get guidance and support to confidently move through grief and trauma recovery
​
We don’t just focus on surface-level strategies—we work with your nervous system, your story, and your strengths, combining relational depth with cutting-edge tools like Brainspotting and neurofeedback.​​
​
Located in Sacramento, we offer both in-person services, and virtual therapy and coaching to individuals across California.

1. What's the difference between therapy and coaching?
Coaching and therapy are two distinct forms of support for individuals seeking support for trauma and grief. Coaching is typically focused on helping individuals navigate the practical aspects of their struggles, such as managing day-to-day tasks, and setting goals for the future. Coaches may offer guidance on issues related to balancing difficult emotions with other responsibilities, relationships, and developing coping skills.
​
In contrast, psychotherapy tends to be more focused on the emotional and psychological aspects of your struggles. A psychotherapist may help individuals process their feelings such as sadness, anger, guilt and shame, and other complex emotions that can arise after trauma or loss. They may also help individuals identify patterns of thought or behavior that are hindering their ability to cope with trauma and grief, and work with them to develop healthier coping strategies.
Ultimately, both coaching and therapy can be valuable forms of support, and the choice of which to pursue may depend on your specific needs and preferences.
4. How do I get started?
Contact us by submitting a contact form or booking a call.
We begin each service with a free 15-20 minute phone consultation during which we answer any questions, learn about your mental health goals, and briefly discuss our services.
​
The consultation helps us determine whether our services actually fit your needs and preferences. We encourage you to 'feel out' whether our personalities and approach match what you're looking for. If we discover during this phone call that we are for any reason not the best match, that's okay; we won't take it personally! Finding the right provider/team for you is the top priority, and we’d be happy to provide you with referrals that may be more helpful.
