Midlife for women can be a time of intense transformation. It’s a stage of life where emotions can feel amplified, and perhaps harder to navigate than they were before. This includes all that comes with the arc from peri-menopause to menopause and after. This period of profound change and self-discovery can also be an opportunity for deep healing, growth and exploration. I specialize in working with women in midlife who are navigating this rich and complex journey. The highs, the lows, and all that is in between.

I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

I'm Oscar Valdez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals on issues like anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, substance use, and spirituality. I use trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), gestalt work, Motivational interviewing, and Client-centered work and I use the internal family systems model. I am a Unites States Marine Corps veteran and aim to follow a motto that I was taught leave it better than you found it. I aim to partner alongside my clients as a means to attain this goal.

Have you ever felt like no one truly understands what you’re going through? Are you seeking to change how you feel and see yourself and are unsure how to move forward? Do you worry about burdening your friends or family with your struggles and feel you are holding so much on your own? Becoming the adult you want to be is hard when you constantly compare yourself to what others have achieved. We are not meant to navigate all of these growing pains alone. I can help you through first loves and first jobs while figuring out who you are, separate from who you thought or were told you should be, while also learning how to enjoy the good.

I provide a safe, supportive place for creative problem solving and self exploration.
Each individual has a unique combination of strengths, needs and personal history that need to be identified and used to best achieve their goals.
I view psychotherapy as a tool that can help people see new possibilities and potential in their lives, conquer fears and expand imitations.

Everyone has strengths, worth, and potential. Sometimes they cannot see it in themselves. As your therapist, my goal is to show you things you may not recognize in yourself and help you see things in a new way. Ultimately, you are in charge of the therapeutic process. Therapy should be guided by what you need and what you want to change. I am here to provide you with support every step of the way while we work together to create your own recovery journey.

I have found that many of us feel disconnected from what matters most as daily distractions and demands strip away our joy and sense of purpose. Consistently ignoring our needs for rest, creativity, and meaningful connections can manifest as anxiety, depression, illness, or addiction. A fulfilling life comes from redefining success on our terms and prioritizing what truly matters.
In our work together, I will help you reclaim who you are and explore your core values despite how you have gotten off course. This journey toward simplicity will empower you to recognize what truly matters and take practical steps forward.

Many of us reach points in our lives when we feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or just generally unhappy. Making the choice to go to therapy can be a difficult decision. However, once that choice is made, it sets the healing journey in motion. With this one decision, you will have the opportunity to explore those places within yourself that need tending in a caring, supportive environment. My practice is guided by the idea we sometimes need support, and by working collaboratively we will find the tools and insight to build a foundation for a more productive and satisfying life.

If you're having difficulty navigating some of your relationships and feel stuck in certain aspects of your life, let's explore what's holding you back .
