I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who understands that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable—especially when you are used to handling everything on your own.

My style is warm, honest, collaborative, and practical. Therapy is your journey, and you remain at the center of it. My role is to walk alongside you—offering a safe place to speak openly, meaningful insight, and practical support as you create lasting change and move toward a life that feels healthier, more connected, and authentically yours.
.I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and attachment-based approaches, tailoring our work to your needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about the challenges you are facing.

I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their individual experiences. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and feel supported as you work toward meaningful and lasting change.
I’m passionate about helping clients reach their full potential and become the best version of themselves. I value empathy, transparency, and authenticity, and strive to create a trauma-informed space where clients feel comfortable showing up as their true selves. I also believe therapy can include laughter, fun, and genuine connection.
Therapy should be a safe, supportive space in which you can be your authentic self. As one human to another, I invite you to come as you are, knowing you will not be judged. My approach begins with learning about you, the challenges you're facing, and what brings you to therapy. Together, we'll set goals that align with your core values and what you'd like to accomplish. Whether it's healing past wounds, learning to manage emotions, working on relationships, or exploring your full potential, therapy is about you and I'll be here alongside you on your journey to a better life.

My goal is to meet you where you are, help you make sense of where you've been, and support you in moving towards the life you want to create. I believe meaningful change begins when we feel seen, heard, and empowered to understand ourselves more deeply.
For over 20 years, I have sat across from people carrying weight that most will never understand: the weight of service, sacrifice, survival, and the quiet battles that follow you home. Whether you are a service member navigating the pressures of military life, a veteran working through what you have been through, or a family member holding everything together behind the scenes, you deserve a space where your experience is genuinely understood. I specialize in helping the military and civilian community work through stress, trauma, relationship strain, and the moments when life feels harder than it should.
I’m a compassionate, curious, and lovingly direct human who believes that healing begins when we slow down to notice, listen to ourselves, and become more connected to our inner experience. My approach integrates Somatic Experiencing®, attachment theory, and parts work to help you understand how past experiences may be shaping your present-day emotions, relationships, and sense of self.
I believe therapy is about reconnecting with the wisdom, resilience, and capacity for change that already exist within you, even when we feel broken.
My own life journey has deepened my appreciation for the complexity of being human. I bring that appreciation for the whole person into my work, meeting each client with curiosity, openness, and respect for their unique experiences.
Hello and welcome. My name is Inessa -- I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 4 years of experience serving clients in private practice-type settings throughout the Sacramento area. Over these years, I have accumulated a passion for working with Clients looking to address challenges around their relationships (couples therapy), as well as neurodivergence and perinatal issues.
I’m not a sit-back-and-nod type of therapist -- I love to collaborate with my clients to meet their goals and see them move past beliefs and/or patterns that have haunted them for many years. That being said, I show up as a grounded and collaborative therapist with an experiential approach.
Outside of therapy, I am a wife, new(ish) mom, sister/daughter, musician, crafter, ADHD-er, and the occasional "world traveler". I was born and raised in Sacramento to Slavic immigrant parents. I am fluent in Russian and Ukrainian, and also provided therapy services in those languages.
I bring an action oriented approach to therapy in helping clients address and better understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, disconnected, and unfulfilled. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, anger, trauma, and compulsive behaviors. I also support business leaders and professional artists who grapple with fatigue, executive demands, and the toll their positions take on self identity and interpersonal relationships.
Stepping into therapy for the first time or returning can feel like a challenging and exhaustive process as you search for the right fit. In therapy I provide a setting for self exploration, healing, and most importantly, a plan for action.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in a private practice in San Francisco. My psychotherapy practice is primarily focused on helping people who are struggling with the effects of trauma, PTSD, relationship stress, life transitions, depression, anxiety, substance use and addiction. My public clinical work primarily focuses on people who are struggling with the effects of substance use, grief, trauma, psychosis and major medical complications.
I have expertise in working with people who have a current or past history with drug & alcohol use and recognize that substance use may result from different psychological, social and biological factors that are unique to each person. I also focus on working with people who have loved ones who are at the mercy of the drug and alcohol use and are looking for ongoing support. I see drug & alcohol use as a way of coping with challenges that we face throughout life and use a non judgmental, harm reduction and trauma informed approach to our work.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist who helps adults heal from anxiety, trauma, burnout, and painful relationship patterns using EMDR therapy and a mind-body approach. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in cycles of self-doubt, overwhelm, or disconnection, appearing “fine” on the outside while feeling anything but on the inside. My goal is to create a safe, grounding space where you can explore what’s beneath the surface, release what’s been weighing you down, and reconnect with the most authentic version of yourself.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is at the heart of my work. It’s an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Through gentle bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), the mind can integrate painful experiences in a more adaptive way. Clients often describe EMDR as life-changing- it allows healing to occur on a deeper, neurological level, often when talk therapy alone hasn’t been enough. My style is collaborative, intuitive, and compassionate. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll help you feel safe in your body, clear in your mind, and at peace within yourself.
