Hi, I’m Ivonne.
I’m a queer immigrant Latinx clinical psychologist and somatic psychotherapist in Sacramento, CA.
I support people from marginalized communities who long to live a life that is authentically joyful and meaningful - but feel stuck and overwhelmed by the anxieties and traumas of their lives.
I guide them through the process of shedding unwanted reactions and dynamics that are no longer serving them - while also healing from the experiences that may have led them to manifest these responses in the first place.
So that they can reconnect with their body, reclaim their intuition, & ultimately, return to a life that feels full of possibility.
My Approach to Counseling
Relational & affirming.
Trauma-informed & somatic-based.
Anti-oppressive & culturally humble.
& most of all, humanizing.
My approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that you already have everything you need within yourself to heal. & therapy is just one (of many) spaces to rediscover and deepen that journey.
In my office, we invite in all aspects of your being - & attend to all of those parts with gentle care, compassion, and ease. To understand not only how they arrived to being - but also the wisdom and gifts that they have to offer us and others.
Because despite what societal forces tell us, we are not problems to be fixed. We are complete beings worthy of joy. of rest. of healing.
So, while you have arrived here feeling defined or dictated by your anxieties or your trauma, we’ll work together to understand not only who you are because of it but who you are in spite of it.
So that you can disrupt the harsh cycles that keep you feeling anxious and defeated - and step into the dimension of you that you’ve always envisioned.
& I’ll be there alongside you - meeting you exactly where you are and supporting you throughout every moment of your journey.
I’m excited and honored to support you, wherever you are in your journey, so that you can live a life that feels satisfying and secure, even during the hard and messy times. Schedule a free 20-minute telephone consultation today to learn more about how therapy can support your journey.
