As a psychologist, my job is to help my patients (adults, children, couples, and families) identify problematic patterns, understand formative relationships, and develop self understanding. Therapy can help children/teens learn how to express themselves and develop positive coping skills. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the therapist-patient relationship and finding a therapist with whom you feel understood and can explore painful issues is crucial. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore the past and create a new future. I am bilingual-bicultural in Spanish and English.

"She hears me, she gets me, she helped me." Life and relationships can be both fulfilling and also full of stress. My intention is to offer a respectful, safe therapy experience that will help you find yourself, your answers, insights and your voice in your world. My approach is to guide you and to partner with you. Therapy is an active effort to understand and learn a new way, a healthy way so that you can experience yourself, your relationships and your life with less pain and confusion. I have deep respect for those that take the courageous step to enter the "School for the Self" and rejoice in the accomplishments.

I take clients from where they are to where they want to be.

Life is hard. Sometimes it feels like we're unable to deal with the challenges thrown our way. As a result, we might feel anxious, depressed, or experience relationship issues. In therapy, my goal is to help you improve your communication style, increase your self-esteem, and expand your mind to healthier ways of thinking. I will listen to you without judgment and provide different treatment interventions that best fit your needs. Therapy can be enriching and life changing if you allow yourself to take the first step.

Art is a universal language. There is no right or wrong when it comes to art making. Expressing yourself through art helps you deal with issues that you may have been avoiding, or even unaware of. The creative process not only has soothing affects on the person making the art, but also leaves a concrete memory of what the person was thinking and feeling then. Art not only invokes emotions for the artist, but helps the artist express feelings and events that may be too difficult to share with words. It is a very useful tool to help a person convey his or her hopes, fears, dreams, regrets, and desires.

People often seek therapy as a safe and neutral place to share and explore feelings and aspects of their lives they would like to be different. Others are aware that certain things in their past are keeping them from moving forward to greater happiness.
