Are you feeling "blue" but not sure why? Do you find yourself thinking negatively about yourself and your life? Do you feel lonely or wonder why you don't have better relationships? Do you wish you could be more assertive and go after what you want? These are some of the issues I can help you with. I use a gentle, collaborative approach to psychotherapy, providing a safe place for you to talk about what is on your mind and to help you understand yourself better.

Sometimes it's just not easy and we get stuck repeating the same cycles because it's familiar but not helpful. Coping skills learned to survive in the past worked then but most likely are not helpful to you now which can be a great cause of you feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, or struggling with managing it all. I promise you are not alone. Discomforts stem from your early learned beliefs and experiences that are present today. The most effective therapy that produces lasting results is through an honest and comfortable relationship between you and the therapist. Let's see if together we can be the best team moving you forward!

I have had the privilege of helping people work through a wide variety of emotional, interpersonal and addiction issues for more than 20 years. By listening closely and helping clients learn to listen to themselves, I can help challenge false beliefs, learn effective life balance skills, overcome self defeating behaviors and develop more intimacy and joy in their lives.

Psychotherapy is a deeply personal experience that can relieve anxiety and depression, and foster authentic connection and meaning in our lives. In my work for 20 years now as a psychologist and author, I remain committed and passionate about helping clients uncover early dynamics that still seem to interfere with securing the kind of relationships and positive feelings about ourselves that we all strive for. I often find myself in the role of gently reminding clients about the parts of themselves that have temporarily gone underground, and are vital to their creativity and well-being.

Our personal journey is both joyous and challenging. Life brings us things where sometimes we become lost and struggle. During these times, we may need to reach out to someone who is caring and nurturing - someone who will listen and is knowledgeable. These are just some of the things that you may find challenging and cause us to suffer: Life Transitions Relationships Issues Depression, Anxiety, & Loneliness Low Self-Esteem Lack of Clear Purpose Grief & Bereavement LGBTQ & Coming Out Issues Issues of Sex, Sexuality, & Alternative Sexuality Trauma Related Issues.

Are you overwhelmed, struggling or just tired of the way things are going? Has a crisis thrown your world into chaos? We all need help from time to time to understand what we are feeling and why we are feeling it. This understanding can lead to a renewed sense of stability, peace, and well being. We will work together to help you understand what is not working and turn it around. I will help you identify and mobilize your strengths and move toward your goals.

I offer clients a supportive, caring environment to identify solutions for growth and well-being. Together we can identify specific problems and create common sense strategies that have high probabilities of success. The areas often discussed in therapy include relationships, substance abuse, career frustrations and one's own experience of psychological symptoms most commonly anxiety and depression. By approaching psychotherapy through a person-centered, solution-focused, skills based perspective, I can assist individuals from diverse backgrounds. Our common goal is to create a path toward a quality of life that increases a sense of well-being, balance and happiness.

I believe that your voice and expertise should be held at the same level as mine, so that together, we can create a map of treatment that aligns with who you are and the change you want to see. I value authenticity, empathy, and equality, and strive to uphold these notions in the therapeutic relationship. I also find that a real and honest connection is one of the most powerful vehicles for change, so with that in mind, I enter our work with a great deal of care, humility, and gratitude.

My name is Esperanza Sanchez. I am the daughter of Mexican immigrants. I am an Adult Child of an Alcoholic (dad). My mom lost herself in caretaking her husband and 8 children. This family chaos and emotional emptiness led me to help others like myself. When we grow up without safety, protection and boundaries we have to figure It out on our own. What the hell do we know?! But we sort of figure it out; graduating from school, college, become professionally successful but we can't shake IT off. . . heart racing, mind racing, the negative voice: "que pendeja eres" (you're so stupid), "buena para nada" (good for nothing)

When life gets tough, it forces us to look for ways to change, heal and grow. It helps to have somebody walk with us through these challenging periods. Let's see if we can get your life and your relationships back on the right track. There was a time when you felt more fully connected, more confident, less anxious & better able to move through those stuck places. It's time to break those old patterns that hold you back from realizing your full potential. Let's work together to create the life changes you've been wanting. You deserve it! I am In-Network with Aetna, Optum, United Healthcare and Cigna.

People come to therapy for a number of reasons. You may be at a crossroads in your life. Perhaps something doesn't feel right or you just feel stuck. Maybe you want to improve your relationships, self-esteem, or gain clarity. Whatever brings you here today, you are likely looking for someone you can trust. A place where you can feel safe to share personal aspects of yourself. Someone who will listen, help you make sense of what may be happening in your life, and help you get to where you want to be.
