Mental Health And Counseling Blog

This is where you will find all kinds of information related to counseling, therapy, and mental health. I generally use this as a place to write about anything that comes up in therapy and I often refer my clients to posts that seem relevant to the content of our sessions. I like to try to include media in all of my posts, so if you're not much of a reader, or you're looking for something quick, you can peruse the clips in my posts and still get something good out of them.

I primarily write about the issues I work with most, which are:

-Teens
-Couples
-Addiction
-Codependency
-LGBTQ issues
-Trans and gender non-conforming issues
-Sex positive therapy

*From 2018 to 2023 I created a website called SacWellness.com, which helped people find mental health resources in the greater Sacramento area. Sacwellness was home to lots of blog posts written by other therapists in the greater Sacramento area. You can still find all of those in the SacWellness blog archive
