About Sacia
Growing up, I watched the women in my life - my mother, my aunts, my grandmothers - give so much of themselves to everyone around them. They were the pillars of our family, the caretakers, the nurturers. And yet, I saw how they neglected their own needs, dreams, and well-being in the process.
The world had taught them that prioritizing themselves was selfish. That self-care was a luxury. That asking for help was a sign of weakness.
But I refuse to let that cycle continue.
I created EmpowerHer Counseling because I believe that self-care is not selfish - it is self-love. It is the foundation upon which we build emotional strength, resilience, and joy. When we take care of ourselves, we show up more fully in our lives, for our loved ones, and most importantly, for ourselves.
My approach to therapy is holistic and heart-centered. I recognize that healing isn’t just about addressing symptoms - it’s about understanding your story, embracing your truth, and stepping into your power. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, I work with my clients to process emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.
At EmpowerHer Counseling, you will find a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or simply a sense of being "stuck," know that healing is possible. You are worthy of the peace, clarity, and happiness you seek.
Together, we will uncover your inner strength, cultivate resilience, and help you step into the life you deserve. You have the power to heal. You have the power to thrive. Let’s walk this path together.
