Hello, I’m Eileen!
I’m a Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but you might also call me:
a guide for navigating times of change
a mindfulness and body-centered (somatic approach) counselor
a trauma therapist
a brainspotting specialist
a champion for personal growth and transformation
a relationship coach
As a counselor in Sacramento, I help individuals find their way through difficult experiences.
Clients come to me as they encounter many of the following:
anxiety and stress
trauma and PTSD
individuals with relationship concerns
struggling with meaning and purpose in life
Interest in personal growth and self-discovery
navigating health challenges and/or chronic pain
grief and loss
feelings of isolation, depression or withdrawal from life
career change, job loss, retirement
spiritual and existential crises (especially at mid-life)
performance issues or blocks in creativity
aging
When we are going through a significant change in our lives it is a sacred time...
A time to honor all the qualities of our humanity—our hopes, fears, doubts, joy, disappointments, frustrations, excitement, sadness, and worries. We need a time and place to talk about it, feel it, and make sense of it all.
I am here to listen, support, and guide.
Furthermore, I can help you:
- weather the storm of overwhelming emotions
- refocus on what matters most to you
- see your strengths
- connect to your own guiding wisdom
- move in the direction of your dreams
Whatever the challenge, I invite you to trust in the process and take good care of yourself as you find your way through this new experience.
My Approach
At the heart of my approach as a therapist is the belief that each of us has an inner wisdom available to help us navigate life’s challenges and live out our dreams. Many of us stopped listening to this inner voice as we made efforts to gain acceptance within family and society. When we find ourselves out-of-sync with our intuitive wisdom or inner sense of what we yearn for, we may struggle or suffer a loss of vitality and enthusiasm for the life we lead.
I offer a supportive and non-judgmental approach to nurture your process of self-discovery and reconnection to wholeness.
Always, I will listen, encourage, guide, and support you in connecting to your own internal wisdom.
"The right way to wholeness is made up of fateful detours and wrong turnings" Carl Jung
Background & Education
I have a diverse background of study in Psychology, Spirituality, and Healing Arts. Areas of study include Jungian/Archetypal Psychology, Trauma-Informed Care, Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness & Body-Centered Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, Spiritual Counseling, Spiritual Direction, and Shamanism.
