Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Land Park, Sacramento, CA

Have you gone through a troubling experience? Is it difficult to move on in the aftermath? Maybe, it feels as if you are always going through challenging life experiences, or a lifetime of distress? Are you ready to do something about it, maybe even desperate to? I would love to help. I understand that one of the hardest things to do can be to ask for help and be willing to receive it. I want to help.

Each of us deserve to lead a happy and healthy life. Yet life's challenges can be overwhelming and seem unresolvable. I provide non-judgmental feed-back to help you clarify those challenges, your goals, options and your own inner strengths. Knowing our strengths and making our own choices are steps toward the life we want. My experience includes trauma (such as sexual abuse and other issues specific to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), victims of domestic abuse and/or violence, mood disorders, depression, alcohol and drug issues and those with dual diagnoses.

I work with LGBTQIA+ adults, couples, and teens. Together we will navigate relationship issues, sexuality, trauma, anxiety-and whatever is keeping you stuck right now. Life is really hard sometimes and when we are attacked for our identity on a global level, we go through everything that life throws at us with additional fear and minority stress. You are not alone, let's work together towards a joyful and fulfilling life and relationships. Visit lovehealgrow.com to schedule or learn more.

You are unique and so our work together shall be. Come as you are and without judgments we will move you on the path of health and wellness towards your goals.

When I first became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 19 years ago, our understanding of how past traumas and attachment wounds affected us in the present, and how to effectively treat trauma and attachment wounds was very minimal. Since that time, extensive research, studies, theories and practices have broadened our knowledge of trauma's impact on the mind and body and expanded the variety of tools and resources available to support therapists. I can honestly say I have never loved my work as a trauma/attachment-focused therapist more than I do right now.

Each day we awake, you have another chance at life. Of course, you can't control into what family you're born, your ethnicity, or your physical attributes; changing your past is beyond your control, too. However, you DO have control over how you respond to your past, and you CAN change the way you think and behave. Understanding yourself, how to approach relationships, and how to cope with life's challenges can be difficult especially if you're unsure of where to begin. I can meet you where you are and support you with empathy and unconditional positive regard. With collaboration, we can work together to help you meet your goals.

Are you finding yourself feeling highly anxious, ashamed or trapped in a cycle of negative self talk? Maybe you're used to abandoning your own needs and desires to please others? Through a warm and collaborative process, I am here to help identify and understand the patterns that have kept you stuck. I would be honored to help you learn how to advocate for yourself. You may find that you only need short term therapy to help you get through a transition in your life or you may need more time to process and uncover what is behind your emotional struggle. My priority is guiding you to a life where you feel seen and valued.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English), Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has extensive experience working with children and adults of all ages in various settings.

We specialize in ketamine and esketamine (Spravato, a form of ketamine) for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD here in Sacramento. Ketamine is a cutting-edge, evidence-based treatment backed by science. Cleveland Clinic calls ketamine a "top ten medical innovation” and Johns Hopkins calls it "groundbreaking therapy" and the first (truly) new treatment in 60 years. Ketamine increases neuroplasticity and helps your brain to grow new synapses, allowing your brain to heal. Ketamine doesn’t have the side effects of traditional mental health medications, and it works fast. People often start to feel better after the very first treatment.

​I help creatives and sensitive folks go deep in their therapy work so they can experience joyful relationships, better intimacy, and less stress & anxiety.

I work with couples and individuals at Sacramento's leading relationship therapy center. Schedule online at www.lovehealgrow.com.

As a woman of color, I am passionate about breaking the mental health stigma and working with individuals who have experienced oppression, subtle or blatant discrimination, racism, or struggles with integrating into professional life as a minority. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space for you to be authentically who you are, provide support during the hard times, ask tough questions when necessary, and work with you to find practical solutions to your challenges. My goal is for clients to feel seen, safe, and heard in our work together.

I know seeking help can be hard, but I'm so glad you have taken the courageous step of reaching out.

When difficult emotions or experiences interfere with our ability to enjoy life, it can be hard to figure out what to do. Therapy begins as a conversation and progresses into a relationship, creating a foundation for exploring present and past difficulties.

Together we will explore areas where you might feel stuck or lost, uncover internal strengths and build coping strategies for navigating life‘s difficulties.
