I provide an atmosphere of professionalism, empathy, and privacy suitable for positive growth and achievable solutions.

I am a Latina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 28 years of experience working with clients of all ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds. As a LMFT, I have learned that to understand and help families, adults, adolescents, and children through emotional issues and crises, therapy is most effective when delivered within the family context. It is my belief that all families and individuals are their own experts, and as such, have unexplored resources and means. When effectively utilized, these resources help guide towards a mutually arrived solution.

*IMMEDIATE APPOINTMENTS AND CONFIDENTIAL VIDEO SESSIONS AVAILABLE* Anxiety makes life feel so hard. You can't sleep. Your heart races. You feel sad most of the time. You feel like you are forcing yourself to do everyday things. You may have tried medication but you don't feel like it's helping. You may even be finding comfort in drugs or alcohol because they are the only things that make you feel better or not feel anything at all. These are some of the many realities of what it’s like to live with anxiety or depression.

Self care and learning to love yourself will lead you on the path to a better life. I would like to help you to learn to lead a more authentic, self-actualizing life that works for you. Life only works if you are able to practice self-care and love yourself. We live in a society so busy that we can barely hear ourselves think. It is rare that anyone feels truly heard and listened to. Being present and practicing mindfulness when clients share their deepest truth and pain with me can be the beginning of hope and growth, moving through pain and toward healing.
