Female Therapists in Midtown, Sacramento, CA

Do you often feel anxious, sad, or resentful in relationships? Perhaps you believe you can’t have the relationships you want or find yourself asking “why does this keep happening to me?” You might have a pattern of choosing partners who are emotionally unavailable. You know something feels off, but you’re not exactly sure why or what to do about it. If any of these signs are familiar, it’s okay. It’s not your fault and you’re not broken. I work with women to resolve old trauma wounds and learn new ways of relating with themselves and others. My approach is both clinical and casual and my medicine is warm, funny and nurturing.

Do you worry that you're "too sensitive," too easily overwhelmed, or that you need to "toughen up"? You often feel like there's something wrong with you that needs to be fixed. You may be struggling to come to terms with past wounds or traumas and then get angry and irritated with yourself for not "getting over it" already. You wonder why other people are able to brush things off so easily, but you still feel depressed, anxious, and stuck. Dealing with all these feelings means you're not your best self at work, in school, or with your loved ones, which really bothers you because you care so much about not letting anyone down.

I work with adults of any age willing to engage in therapy to heal, grow or simply feel better. I am able to work with a variety of people from different populations due to my non-judgmental stance and curiosity about other people. I am adept at working with individuals who experience multiple problems simultaneously due to my willingness to work with other providers and supportive group/individual services. I specialize in dealing with chronic/developmental trauma, managing psychological sequelae due to chronic medical conditions, and working with anxiety and depression with cultural curiosity and humility.

I’m the type of therapist who enjoys taking on the complexity of life, emotions, and relationships. I help​ individuals and couples who find themselves in a place in life where so much seems to be going right, but stress or insecurities may be taking big toll. On the outside it may seem like you have it all together, but what others might not see is the immense pressure or emotional distress that has been building up beneath the surface. It might feel like we should be able to figure it all out on our own, but even the most successful, self-sufficient people need support working through life's challenges.

Welcome to a space of warmth and understanding. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I offer a compassionate approach to therapy, providing support as you navigate life's challenges. I believe that everyone's life journey is unique, which is why I individualize every treatment plan. I have years of experience working with couples, and individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and trauma.

I’d like to start off by congratulating you on taking the courageous first step towards your healing journey. As a daughter of Mexican immigrants and a first-generation Latina, I understand the importance of having a therapist who understands the complexity of our intersecting identities. Reflecting on my personal healing journey, I recognize the value of having a therapist that makes one feel seen, heard, and understood. You are the leader of your journey. My role is to meet you where you are with kindness, tools, and guidance.

Our experiences can lead us to struggle with difficult feelings interfering with how we want to live our lives. We can have difficulty in relationships, feel unsure about who we are or what we want, or feel stuck and find it difficult to move forward. People typically seek out therapy to live a happier, more fulfilled life, or feel better in the relationships they have with others. Therapy can help you develop a better understanding of yourself, understand why you feel how you feel, learn how to cope with difficult or overwhelming feelings, and how to move forward.

My ideal client is someone who is in a space where they are comfortable with confronting the things that have made their life difficult. A person who is ready to move forward mindfully to create the life they desire to live without maladaptive coping strategies.

My ideal clients include adults and children, 6 and up, facing challenges in adapting to life transitions, grappling with grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. They seek support to navigate these complex emotional landscapes, aiming to regain a sense of stability, resilience, and emotional well-being. They want to heal from past wounds, manage overwhelming feelings, and cultivate coping strategies that empower them to lead fulfilling lives. Their goal is to find relief, understanding, and practical tools to thrive amidst adversity, ultimately achieving a renewed sense of hope and inner peace.

If you have a change you want to make and need encouragement, I can help. We can work together to make a change. As we get to know each other, and build a therapeutic relationship, we will look at how the problem is impacting your life. We can collaborate on solutions that will help your progress. I am here to help facilitate your success and encourage you in times you feel stuck. I will challenge you, but in a very caring and supportive way. Let's work together to ensure your progress.

You have tried over and over to change without success. No matter what you try, you don't seem to make any progress. Sometimes, you think 'this is just the way it is." You may have given up hope of ever having something different. This cycle can be so discouraging. I am interested working people with who feel stuck, especially those who have a sense that there is something inside that prevents them from moving forward.

Therapy is a safe space for you to feel seen & understood, to reconnect with vitality, and develop the tools you need to create the life you desire.

I help overwhelmed, self-doubting individuals feel calmer and more confident. If you're consumed by worry, I'll help you quiet your mind and reconnect to your body and spirit. If you struggle to feel worthy and valuable in spite of your accomplishments, I'll help you embrace your authentic self, so-called flaws and all. You may simply wish for quality time with loved ones and peace of mind. Or maybe you envision a calling for yourself that's beyond your current career or role. Whatever it is that you desire from life, I'm here to guide you toward that goal.

My style as a therapist is both affirmative and challenging. I seek to support and understand you so that we may together identify the obstacles that keep you from living a more fulfilling and creative life. Therapy often involves the following processes: Changing reactive patterns of behavior, like compulsive eating or the destructive use of anger. Learning about your "filters," which are habitual ways of interpreting life events that stem from your unique conditioning. Developing skills to modulate uncomfortable feelings, such as anxiety or sadness. Strengthening your core sense of self and values.

As a therapist and trainer/consultant for over 30 years, I’ve come to appreciate the power of stories - both individual and collective. Who am I? How do I build and sustain relationships that matter? How do I express what is making it hard to find my place in the world and express who I really am? These are questions that we all struggle with. Therapy offers a support for exploring these questions ad discovering our own answers. I am a Certified Relational Gestalt Therapist with training in Jungian, Object Relations and Family Systems. I look forward to the possibility of getting to know you.
