Welcome! My name is Stephanie Sanchez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with individuals and family members struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma related issues.

A lack of purpose, understanding, and knowledge of one's self can send ripples of negative events in one's life. So, learning, as well as empathizing with that uncertainty, is critical. The goals of change and experiencing are critical.

When we encounter difficulties in our lives we are effected in physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual ways. I work to help my clients understand how their history impacts them on many levels and how our past, overtime, creates patterns of communication and sets the stage that determines how we deal with life's ups and downs. If we can gain understanding of the past and connect the dots between where we began and where we are today, then we can begin to heal and create new effective ways to communicate, build healthy relationships and realize more fulfillment in our lives.

Life is messy. That’s the motto I adopted a few years ago to remind myself that there is no such thing as perfect and rarely does everything go according to plan. My journey has taken me through a variety of messes…divorce, single parenting, job changes, remarriage and the blending of families, just to name a few. Although this isn’t the path that I planned to take, I am thankful for each step because of the healing and growth that accompanied it and ultimately led me to pursue my master’s degree in family and marriage therapy.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending" -Maria Robinson.

Asking for help can be hard. For lots of us, there can be an automatic thought that encourages us to handle things on our own. Maybe that's how you have felt up until this point... maybe you have been overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or battling addictions that do not seem to stay at bay. Know that taking this step and exploring the options out there for you and your mental health is a huge achievement. My hope is that you can find a space which allows you to reflect, examine your current challenges, and face them with courage and intention.
