My ideal client is someone who is ready for therapy and is committed to their own growth and well-being. This person is open to expressing themselves in therapy. This person may be experiencing challenges such as anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, and trauma. The goals for therapy may be developing coping skills, healing past trauma, and increasing confidence. Needs may include empathy and validation and a need for a safe environment. I am also interested in working with people with a dual diagnosis. I can help people create treatment goals, combine different therapies, and provide community resources to support recovery.

She might also be struggling to navigate her career after graduating college. She is trying to figure out who she wants to be in this crazy world. She is most likely struggling with some mild depression and anxiety. She has achievable goals but needs to know how to get where she wants to be. She wants to feel more fulfilled and happier in her everyday life. She wants to be her best self!

My ideal client would seek therapy for their issues with processing trauma and acknowledging poor coping skills (such as addictions or low participation in life) used in the past to manage symptoms. They would want to use a cognitive behavioral approach to identify their cognitive distortions and negative thinking patterns and bring awareness and change to their behaviors.

I am a bilingual (Español/English), bicultural, Mental Health Counselor with more than 20 years of experience working in both private practice and community health centers with diverse client population and multi-stressed families. I am specialized in treating anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress symptoms in which I often use the newer techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) where the resolution is sometimes rapid and symptoms no longer dominate your life.

Throughout my career as a clinical social worker, I have worked with teenagers and families. I love young people: their enthusiasm and their passion for life, even their confusion and their uncertainties. As for the parents of those teenagers, I can only empathize with you. Even experienced clinicians struggle parenting teens when they're your own. And the toll parenting a teenager can take on a marriage: it is undoubtedly why most of the couples I have worked with, sought marriage therapy during the time their children were teenagers or young adults. I understand their pain and want to help relieve it.

I counsel both individuals and couples coping with stress, anxiety and a history of trauma. Stress can trigger anger and irritability or perhaps generally feeling lost, empty, isolated or disconnected. My goal for my clients is to begin by feeling less isolated and then generally more able to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs. We will work together to improve your communication, strengthen (and heal where necessary) interpersonal relationships and devise some coping skills that will be useful moving forward. Contemplating change takes courage but all things are possible.

It is with gratitude that I hold space for you. The therapeutic relationship is an important tool used to build a solid and trusting relationship with yourself, the world around you, and the people within it. I work with humans who may be struggling to cope with life's unpredictable and impermanent nature, with life transitions, anxiety, grief, trauma, and other forms of emotional pain. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore patterns of thinking and living that have hindered your growth and prevented you from engaging wholeheartedly in your life.

Life often feels like a balancing act between personal, professional, and social demands. The pressure to meet expectations, manage responsibilities and maintain a sense of control can sometimes feel overwhelming. Pressure can manifest in mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and ADHD. These conditions can affect your sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being, but they don’t have to define you. If you are struggling with any of these challenges, remember this: Your feelings are valid, and there is no shame in seeking help. It’s time to live more peacefully.
