Specialized therapy for adults and teens navigating anxiety, identity, and life transitions

Services offered in-person in Sacramento and via telehealth throughout California.

Even during meaningful times of growth and transition, it can feel confusing, isolating, or heavier than expected. At times, things may appear steady on the outside while internally you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You don’t need to navigate times like these on your own.

Support for navigating change, identity, and the in-between moments of life

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in your own head—know that you don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

If you’re ready to…

  • Quiet the mental noise and feel more grounded as you juggle school, work, and life

  • Let go of constant self-doubt, comparison, and the pressure to have everything figured out

  • Make sense of past experiences, identity questions, or family expectations that still weigh on you

  • Navigate transitions like college, graduation, moving, or changing roles with more clarity

  • Feel more present and connected in friendships, dating, and family relationships

  • Make decisions and approach change with greater confidence and self-trust

…then you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Karlee!

I believe everyone deserves to feel supported as they grow and find their way.

In sessions with me, you’ll feel like you’re having a real conversation. You don’t need to come in with a plan or the perfect words. Therapy is a place to slow down, feel understood, and sort through what’s going on at your own pace. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, reflect what I’m noticing, and bring warmth and humor when it fits, because feeling comfortable and understood matters.

I place a lot of importance on building trust and rapport, so our work feels authentic, respectful, and supportive. Along the way, we’ll also focus on practical skills you can use outside of session—tools for coping, communication, boundaries, and navigating whatever you’re facing. Therapy works best when there’s a real relationship at the center of it. I care deeply about the people I work with and I’m truly invested in your growth and well-being. You’re the expert on your own life, and we’ll work together to create a supportive, collaborative space that feels safe and truly helpful as you move forward.

A place to pause, make sense of things, and move forward with intention

Therapy offers a space to pause and make sense of what you’re carrying. I don’t aim to direct your path or rush the process. Instead, I work alongside you with care and curiosity, helping you notice patterns, build understanding, and feel supported through uncertainty.

Even in periods of anxiety, transition, or change, it’s possible to reconnect with a sense of clarity, grounding, and steadiness—at your own pace and in a way that feels true to you.
