Women's Issues Therapists in Midtown, Sacramento, CA

I enjoy working with folks who need support in managing a wide variety of issues from self-esteem and identity concerns to the stress of dealing with multiple roles, relationships, and life demands (as students, partners, friends, parents, new professionals, family members, community activists, etc.) My clinical interests include multicultural and women's issues , racial/ethnic identity development (especially among biracial/multi-racial/ethnic/cultural individuals), sexual and gender identity development, adjustment and transition issues, and building healthy relationships through assertive communication and positive self-esteem.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

Good therapy is based more on the unique relationship between clinician and client more than a specific technique or model practiced. Research studies support this statement. I work with people to help them solve their emotional conflicts, improve their communication and resolve trauma. I am a compassionate, empathic, caring professional who provides a secure and safe environment for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Whether you are in crisis, or want to focus on personal growth, I can help you uncover and discover what is most important to you and improve the quality of your life.

My path into mental health was inspired by my desire to help others achieve a life of fulfillment and balance. I learned that sexuality, gender identity, self expression and relationship intelligence are importance concepts when identifying individual life satisfaction. These topics can often times be taboo to discuss in our society, leading to feelings of guilt/shame, increased isolation and loneliness. My goal is to normalize these conversations and therapy.

Are you suffering from depression and anxiety? Are you attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy while under stress? Are you dealing from trauma from life circumstances that you have not been able to process? I offer treatment to Adults, Couples, and Teens to create an individualized treatment plan based on your needs.

I provide virtual individual therapy to adult (18+) women and non-binary folx of all backgrounds, orientations, expressions, and relationship/family dynamics living in CA, TX, and abroad - no topic is off limits. I aim to cultivate a compassionate and empowering space for you to explore and heal, believing laughter, joy, and creativity to be an integral part of that process. No judgement, no shame, no “fixing”, no BS. My approach to therapy is rooted in liberation, decolonialization, healing, and social justice practices. I enjoy working with clients to further explore depression, anxiety, identity development, and cultural issues.

Life is full of challenges to personal growth, and these issues often bring up feelings of fear and uncertainty. These and other difficult emotions may affect how you view yourself and relationships. We'll collaborate to create a safe space for exploring, unpacking, and navigating what's getting in the way of building the life you want. Our sessions will be aimed at healing from intergenerational trauma and inherited fears to release you from the negative self-talk hindering you. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, client-centered, and strengths-based to support you in identifying and reworking unhelpful thinking patterns.

Do you want to experience life with less burdensome patterns getting in the way, meet challenges with less anxiety, and heal from limiting self-criticism and shame? I will help you meet all of the parts of yourself with reverence and compassion as we tend to the wounds that are ready for healing.

“Why do I feel so tired?” “I want to be there for others but I feel like I’m barely handling my own stuff.” “Sometimes I feel lost or like my life lacks meaning.” You’re a deep soul who cares about others but you feel overwhelmed by the demands on your time and energy. On top of that, you may feel troubles by the state of the world around you. You crave space, clarity, and a sense of purpose or direction. I get it. We all feel lost sometimes and need help getting back to ourselves but it can be hard, especially when we're not used to prioritizing ourselves. I want you to know I am here for you.

The women I work with are dealing with immense pressure in their personal and/or professional lives–even more so given the pervasive realities of sexism and racism. Many of them work in helping professions (e.g., medical field, mental health, education, ministry) and feel overwhelmed and drained, anxious about kids and work, and frustrated with their relationships. Many of my clients are also activists and advocates working for equity and justice. They are exhausted and burned out, often feeling isolated from friends and family. For some their work is bringing up personal trauma that is hard to get a handle on.

Do you feel like all the other new parents seem to have it all together? Do you get easily irritated, anxious, and overwhelmed at the simplest things? Do you feel guilty because you have such a beautiful and good baby, but still feel like crap? Do you find yourself asking WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Having a baby changes everything! Even when you have longed for a baby the fatigue and exhaustion have the better of you. Your relationship has changed with your partner and not always for the better.

My name is Del and I use They/Them pronouns. I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker and Gender Diversity Educator. I’m queer (LGBTQQIA2+) friendly, and provide a non-judgemental space to explore non-traditional sexuality and identity. I specialize in LGBTQQIA2+ issues, Trauma Recovery, and Living with Disabilities. Whether you are in a major life transition or struggling with identity issues, past trauma, or emotional upheaval, therapy can be useful in clarifying your goals and shaping your future. You are the author of your story and you have the ultimate say in what you want and how you want to achieve it.

Frustrated? Unhappy? Want some insight and change? I offer an encouraging approach to help you explore your world in a therapeutic environment. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own experience; you have lived your life longer than I have known you. I often use the metaphor of being a flashlight in a dark cave, shedding light on different things, however, you, as the client are in the driver's seat; I am in the passenger seat, as a co-driver. Together, we will explore your personal meanings and experiences while making larger connections to your goals. I invite you to our journey together in creating new meaning.

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.

Are you wondering why your life has not turned out how you envisioned it? Joy seems like it's right around the corner if you buy that product, or date that person, or love your children more, or fill your day with things to do. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or unhealthy relationship patterns? What's your strategy when you feel paralyzed by the thought that you have the potential to live an extraordinary life, and no idea what steps to take? I know what it feels like to experience “its”, (sh-t), and the subsequent consequences of the unexpected “its” that happen in our lives. I also know what it feels like to heal.
