As my practice grew in the Sacramento area and I had more clients than I could personally see, I began to form a group practice to help clients get the same level of care that I could provide. Now, I mentor and train all of our therapists in the Gottman Method, which is a research based couples therapy method that is proven to work.

Our practice is thriving for many reasons:

• We hire passionate, caring, smart and humble therapists who are willing to be really good at what they do.
• Our therapists are trained in evidence-based practices, mindfulness, trauma-informed care and other theories that really work for clients and continue to provide training.
• I mentor the staff in effective therapy techniques and they have ongoing support from myself, supervisors and staff.
• RTC is an exceptional place to work which flows to our clients.
• Clients are most important and we provide exceptional customer service, quality therapy, and great follow through.
• We help our clients get results they are looking for.

We provide therapy for:

• Couples seeking premarital therapy, couples who need to overcome affairs and infidelity, and couples looking to improve their relationships by learning how to communicate, resolve conflicts, improve sex and intimacy, transition from empty nest and retirement transition, navigating a sexless marriage, and increase affection and friendship.
• Individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, codependency, neurodivergence, managing work life balance, reduce stress and handle life transitions, as well as those looking to overcome childhood wounds, heal from past hurts, improve relationships, and pursue personal growth.

Experts in Couples Therapy, our clients asked us to serve the whole family.

• Families including parenting support, blended family challenges, adult family relationships, as well as coparenting counseling.
• Child Therapy and Teen Therapy to help with mental health issues, peer support, suicidal ideation and self-harm, identity and self-esteem.
• LGBTQ+ emphasis, sexual identity, faith-based integration through Christian therapists, first responders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners.

I earned my degree in Masters of Psychology With a Counseling Emphasis from Chapman University and have 16 years of experience in individual and couples counseling. Since I have been trained in Gottman Method Levels 1–3 and gained Certification in Gottman Method I now mentor all of our clinicians here. Experienced in Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, Codependency and Recovery.

After 25 years in the corporate world, I went back to school to receive my Masters Degree through Chapman University. Because I received wonderful therapy throughout my life, I was interested in becoming a therapist. Then I found myself wanting to give back the wonderful healing and skills that I gained in my personal work. Teaching and training is rewarding and I love giving back to the therapy world by helping other therapists.

When I’m not working, I enjoy trips with my husband, visiting family, enjoying my grandchildren as well as reading, working out, and doing puzzles.

“I’ve used the center for marriage counseling, individual counseling, EMDR and brain spotting for PTSD, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I’ve used three different, very competent therapists. I love this place. It’s helped me through so much. Don’t hesitate. Everyone who works here is excellent.”
