You’ve been working so hard to keep it all together, yet life still feels messy and overwhelming. Anxiety keeps you up at night, and perfectionism destroys any sense of success you start to experience. You’re trying to balance a relationship, get ahead in school or your career, and all the while you’re trying to convince everyone that you’re in control and you know exactly what you’re doing. It’s exhausting, and it’s not getting you any closer to the life you thought you would have by now. You’re here because you are ready to make a change. Let me walk beside you through the process.

Have you been questioning if you're neurodivergent, Autistic, ADHD, or highly sensitive? Struggling to manage anxiety and overwhelm? Sometimes these things can make socializing, career, or school challenging so it's important to find ways to thrive. The world can also be super confusing at times and it's easy to default to self doubt. You might be asking how or where you fit in the world and ready to start finding answers. If you've been looking for how to take the next steps forward, it might be time to discover and embrace your authentic self. You're worth the time and energy- I'm here to take those steps with you.

My ideal client is someone who is seeking to learn and grow while keeping an open mind. Therapy can often be intimidating but as a clinician it is my job to offer support and guidance towards growth in resolving one's personal struggle. I am very passionate about working with people and believe strongly in empowering an individual to see strengths in order to overcome barriers. I see individuals, couples and family's alike as those relationships can be crucial in ones healing. I have a special interest in working with professionals looking for therapy, coaching & support. All services available in English/Spanish languages.

The basis of any good counseling relationship is finding someone you connect with & who seems to "get you". I strive to provide an environment that facilitates trust, respect, compassion & understanding for your uniqueness. I work in a proactive, collaborative, flexible & transparent way. I am direct & open, offer honest feedback & insightful challenges. I help you search for maladaptive patterns & work with you on trying intentional new approaches. I believe everyone has core strengths that with the right support & guidance will serve as a foundation for more self-confidence, healthier relationships & increased self-fulfillment.

It's more common than we recognize to feel depleted or lost. Sometimes life has a way of challenging us, pushing our limits or asking us to expand even when we're not sure we can. To navigate these uncertainties, including the possibility of failure, we need support in this journey of self-discovery; to be authentically seen and accepted for who we are without judgement. Though it may be uncomfortable, having your experiences validated can ultimately be liberating, and I am committed to helping you go there. Whether it be past or present, how to get started or what the solution looks like, we will figure it out, together.

Imagine having everything you need to be the "best" you, but not knowing how to fully access it. This word "resilience" has become such a popular term and it can be amazing to help us cope with life, if we know how it truly works and how to access it. I specialize in youth and adult anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma and much more. Although most of these issues can cause problems in daily life. These problems are manageable and I am willing to help you create the narrative of your best self.

Life has it's way of making our journey's difficult but in the great words of Morgan Harper Nichols "You are free to be proud of your progress even while you are still on the journey". If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life changing serious illness, low mood, loss of motivation or having a hard time adjusting to a life changing event please allow me to help along your healing journey.

Much of our lives are series of automatic reactions and habits. In between being in these autopilot modes, we can have moments of awareness something isn’t quite right or we envision our life differently. In our work together, I will utilize our relationship to help expand your awareness and move toward acceptance and deciding on an appropriate action. My role is to provide safety, security and honesty for you to use and explore what is most important in your life. One of my personal beliefs is that we all have the capacity to change and that we all are doing the best we can with the tools we have.

I welcome you to meet via video for a risk free initial consultation. This will provide an opportunity to see how I may help you with the issues you are seeking a therapist for. Call or email me directly to arrange a time.

I believe psychotherapy can be transformative. Over and over again, I have been deeply impressed by people's capacity for personal growth and change. And, I have been moved by the courage and strength people have shown by their entering therapy in the first place, and by the trust they have placed in me and in the work we do together. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust, respect, and compassion that allows people to become more self-aware, to find healing, and to living a more fulfilling life.

Effective therapy develops goals for change. Treatment also supports establishing new ways of experiencing life, behaviors and relationships. My private practice emphasizes making change through openness and trust, and building a personal plan that suits your unique life circumstance. There is no prescription for the length of therapy; some changes can occur with a few sessions and others may taken longer. Having realistic goals can help define when therapy is completed. Please call or email me learn more.

I’m deeply committed to supporting the well-being of all my clients. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and school/college related issues, such as relationships, self image/concept, and life transitions. I use a culturally informed, client-centered perspective when working with people to honor the way in which individuals' unique experiences have shaped them. I aim to provide a safe and genuine environment, where thoughts and concerns can be discussed confidentially. Please note, I do not take insurance.

I believe in working cooperatively with people to help them achieve balance, personal growth, and to reach their personal goals. Many people feel isolated and their anxiety or depression prevent them from being their best self. We all have the ability to learn, grow and reach our highest potential, and we cannot do it alone. Together we can identify strengths, work through challenges, and develop the skills to achieve a higher level of peace and contentment.

Therapy shouldn't last forever. Do you feel overwhelmed but don't really know what to do? Do you feel down and nervous but no one seems to understand what you are going through? Or are you confused about your own feelings or thoughts? I can help you work through those confusing and difficult times. You don't have to be alone. I will help you explore your strengths and resources to cope with what you are going through and to achieve a better quality of life.

Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that we as humans are most balanced when we feel safe and understood, non-judgmentally. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I strive to ensure that clients are provided the space to effectively express themselves in a way that makes sense to them. I have experience working with children, teens, families, and couples who can be experiencing challenges with life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, or simply would like a neutral person to talk to.

As a semi-retired practitioner, my aim is to provide affordable and effective counseling (not clinical therapy) to folks needing to get ‘unstuck’. Our focus will center largely on how to manage/enhance day to day challenges such as relationships, dealing with anxiety and depression, and rediscovery of your sense of purpose, meaning and direction in life. Our work together will be a collaborative process that builds on both your emerging insights and the application of concrete steps that lead you to making choices and taking steps that promote your ability to be happy in your life.

Have you been feeling lost or stuck in your life? Are you not feeling heard by your partner and your connection to them is suffering because of it? Perhaps you are dealing with anxiety or depression to the point where you are finding it difficult to go about your normal routine. These feelings can be overwhelming and leave you feeling unsure as to how to deal with them. As your therapist, I can help you navigate what is going on beneath the surface that is influencing your current situation. I will work alongside of you to gain clarity, understanding and find the joy, freedom and connection you desire!

Are you finding yourself stuck on the anxiety hamster wheel, struggling to get off? At times, we all get thrown by life’s challenges and are unsure what tools we can utilize in the moment to work through the discomfort and get unstuck. This can feel unnerving. My approach as a therapist is to meet you where you are at, without an agenda or judgment, and collaborate with you in setting and reaching goals. My expertise and experiences working in schools, agencies, clinics, and private practice have allowed me the opportunity to work with people from all different walks of life.
