In the game of life, a positive mindset is your secret weapon. It turns challenges into opportunities and obstacles into stepping stones. Unfortunately, many individuals find themselves trapped in negativity due to childhood trauma, abusive relationships, or toxic work environments. Making positive life changes starts with understanding your own story and taking courageous steps towards creating a life that brings you joy. My mission is to offer a safe and nurturing environment where you can work through your pain, identify patterns that have kept you feeling stuck and negative, and embark on a journey toward positivity.

I am the therapist that likes to meet you where you are and ensure that your therapy is exactly what you would like. I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, depression and mental health treatment and I am skilled in assisting you to become unstuck and meet your treatment goals. Let's go on this journey together.

Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I want you to know that your experiences are valid, and you are deserving of support. If you're grappling with struggles related to substances or habits that no longer serve you, I'm here to walk beside you as you explore the reasons behind these challenges. For those who have experienced difficult and painful events, and those feeling stuck in patterns that don't align with your true self, especially in the realm of relationships, we can explore and reshape those patterns to help you attain security in yourself and your relationships.

Whether you're adjusting to grief and loss, a major change in your life or healing from trauma, I can support you in breaking cycles that are keeping you stuck. I've worked with patients from different backgrounds and have seen that we can not only heal trauma, but THRIVE after it. Post traumatic growth is achievable through therapy and gaining healthy coping skills. Together we can look at things like family of origin and life history patterns that may be impeding your happiness and growth. I offer a warm, safe space for you to process what needs to be resolved and help you learn new ways to cope.

Mr. Sanchez is a trained Marriage and Family Therapist with a background in Indigenous arts and cultural traditions. By engaging traditional approaches of psychotherapy, art, and culture, he works with clients to identify their strengths as determined by the health of their social, cultural, family, spiritual and behavioral cycles. His approach offers strength based therapeutic interventions, while utilizing art and culture to support clients in creating practices to strengthen coping skills, relationship patterns, systems of support, concepts of self, and increasing awareness of their role in creating their healing process.

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.

Evening appointments available - You move through life feeling misunderstood or that you “don’t belong.” You feel this need to people please, to mask, or maybe even be “perfect” in order to be accepted (even though deep down you know you might be shrinking yourself). You try one thing and then another but nothing’s really working (or if it is, it never really feels good enough). You hold an innate desire to be yourself and to be accepted and loved for who you are. You long to create deep connections with others who celebrate your soul but you aren’t quite sure where to begin or how to get there.

My passion is psychological healing and growth. I believe everyone has the innate potential to live full, satisfying, and self-actualizing lives with hope, joy, and meaning. I want to help people change and grow in an environment that is open, safe, and non-judgmental. Compassion and authenticity will help people grow and feel whole. I primarily use an integrative approach, incorporating multiple therapeutic approaches and drawing on a variety of techniques and interventions as needed. I, however, gain my principal inspiration from solution-focused and humanistic modalities.
