Self Esteem Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Spiritual guidance and intuitive counseling includes spirituality with contemporary counseling practices to help with healing, empowerment, and transformation. Understanding of one's spirituality is subjective to each client. My specializations include body image and self-esteem, love and relationships, sacred sexuality, identity formation, self-empowerment, life transitions, grief and loss, death and dying, mind-body connection, archetypes, multiculturalism and GLBT identity and issues, and spirituality and growth. Goddess psychology, creative expression, dream work, Reiki, intuitive readings, and indigenous healing practices.

I believe that valuable therapeutic work can only be done with a strong and trusting relationship between client and therapist. I work to create a safe and comfortable environment in which you can truly show up as yourself, and know that you will be accepted and seen just as you are. My approach is warm and authentic. I want therapy to be so much more than me sitting in front of you and asking “...how does that make you feel?” If you’re interested in integrating art, play, movement, music, sand tray, or spiritual practices into our work - let’s do it! We all deserve to take up space in ways that feel good.

Whether it's a relationship challenge, depression, grief and loss or anxiety, we all face moments in life where we feel overwhelmed and unable to move forward. Confronting emotional challenges through therapy takes a great deal of strength and courage. It would be an honor to accompany you on your journey towards healing, empowerment, and change. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you are able to be your authentic self, while exploring your feelings, hopes, and struggles. I approach each client with respect, cultural sensitivity, and support.

I have worked since 2005 with a variety of clients dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and other life challenges, primarily in community mental health with marginalized and underserved communities. I see people seeking support for many difficulties, including: imposter syndrome, self-esteem, boundaries, communication skills, and more. Reducing self-judgment and increasing curiosity about your self will help you to make better decisions that are aligned with your core values. This will ultimately unhook you from negative thoughts or worries so you are more fully available for all the important things in your life.

Do you want to feel better about yourself, your relationships and your life? I am passionate about helping people feel more empowered and confident, manage and resolve trauma-related problems, and build more secure relationships.

Are you overwhelmed or feel burnt in your job or in life? Do you have anxiety due to family, friends, or work relationships? Do you experience self-doubt or low self-esteem? When we experience trauma, we often find it easier to leave it in the past; however, these experiences can change how we think about ourselves and shiw up in the world. I can support you in resolving past traumas or your current life stressors in order to relieve anxiety, rise up from depression, and improve feelings of overwhelm.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Perhaps struggling with certain relationships in your life? If so, I can help. Through therapy we can explore the patterns, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that shape your world and help you identify and challenge areas that are holding you back.

I am a person-centered therapist who believes in tailoring therapy to her clients individual needs and believes in going into each session with an open mind allowing the client to take hold of each session. I believe in helping the client identify situations or behaviors that have contributed to their illnesses or struggles and together we work to change these behaviors and overcome challenges. I believe that therapy should include unconditional positive regard, compassion, genuineness, and understanding where the client is at. I specialize in working to improve individuals’ self-worth, self-esteem, and self-compassion.

Are you feeling more anxious than usual? Do you continue to compare yourself to everyone around you and self-doubt kicks in? Through a warm and collaborative process, I am here to help identify and uncover the patterns that have kept you stuck. Beginning therapy can mean the start of a new way of seeing and living. 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 the truth behind your emotional struggle. However I can best serve you is my priority.

Now licensed in Ohio and California! After 7 amazing years in Sacramento, Empowered Living Therapy is relocating to Cincinnati, Ohio in July. Although, I won’t be able to offer in-person services in Sacramento, I will continue to offer tele-therapy to any California resident. In-person services will resume in Cincinnati sometime this summer and tele-therapy sessions are now available to any Ohio resident. Looking forward to this new chapter, and the opportunity to grow as a psychologist and therapist. Please reach out with any questions regarding my practice and the services provided.

I work with trauma, dual diagnosis (mental health and addictions), grief and loss. I focus on a humanistic, client-centered, collaborative approach that highlights your internal wisdom through trauma-informed care. I find it especially important to explore the influence of layered systems such as social injustices, intergenerationality, cultural and socioeconomic complexities of the human experience to take into account a big picture perspective to help with your adversities. My passion is helping change systems one person at a time.
