The road to a better life begins here. I offer solution- based therapy techniques in the first session that will begin your journey to a better life immediately. I teach clients to identify under which circumstances they bloom and under which they wither. I see crying as an essential part of mental hygiene. I assist clients in recognizing that often their anxiety is a doorbell announcing that they have vulnerable feelings seeking to be known and attended to. I teach emotional attending skills. If you apply the therapeutic tools that I will teach you, truly a better life begins here. Honoring my client's human dignity is key.

I am a bilingual, Spanish and English speaking, Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Georgia. I believe therapy is often sought when a person has been feeling stuck and is seeking an alternative view to their circumstances. I strive to provide guidance and encourage you to discover and create new stories about your life experiences in order to avoid destructive patterns and self-defeating thoughts/behaviors. My experience in the field has consisted of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both outpatient and inpatient facilities.

Life often comes with unexpected challenges and obstacles that can be difficult to face on your own. We have been working with individuals, couples, families and groups for over 15 years as a teachers, case managers, skills trainers and counselors to help others learn to cope with these challenges and obstacles.

I have over 25 years of clinical experience working primarily with adults in individual, couple, family sessions and groups. My practice is diverse in its focus and I collaborate with you to address your concerns and in accordance with your preference. Issues addressed include transition and growth, relationship and communication issues, depression, grief / loss, stress / anxiety, and spiritual growth and healing. A variety of techniques are used to wholistically explore and clarify issues including systems and insight therapy, solutions oriented, cognitive therapy, and art and creative expression.

If you are a client seeking therapy for anxiety, or because of post-traumatic or dissociative symptoms, then I would be a good fit for you. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to determine what you need. I used both cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches in therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy addresses changing thoughts and behaviors that could be contributing to symptoms. Psychodynamic therapy explores the origin of symptoms.

My work is influenced by psychodynamic, interpersonal and attachment theories. I believe that at the core of a healthy and satisfying life is the capacity to form intimate attachments and maintain ongoing satisfying relationships. Therapy is a place where individuals can tell the meaningful stories of their lives and explore habitual patterns and relational styles. Doing this successfully requires a setting where the person feels safe and comfortable enough to explore their past and present relationships. My goal is for a person to discover the cut-off parts of themrself, thus allowing change and the emergence of one's true self.

"I believe, in each of us, there is an inherent need to be understood and accepted and that psychotherapy involves building a caring relationship in which clients feel safe and at ease. My goal for our time together is to help you better understand yourself, understand patters behind the choices you make and equip you with coping skills that will enable you to more effectively deal with life stressors."

***Offering Tele-Health Therapy Services*** Seeking help through therapy is a healthy choice. There are so many good reasons to start therapy; adapting to a sober lifestyle, processing a difficult diagnosis, navigating life changes or refocusing on goals. Therapy is about improving quality of life no matter what the circumstances.

I am best suited for individuals or couples who recognize a pattern of self-defeating behaviors that destroy relationships and contribute to anxiety/depression. These individuals feel stuck in a seemingly never-ending cycle that may include: procrastination, busyness that leads nowhere, the exhaustion of perfectionism, feelings of rejection, loneliness, or depletion in general--all of which gets worse without intervention. Wishing that distracting issues and concerns would just go away is unproductive. My job is to make psychology applicable to everyday problem-solving and decision-making and therefore give you a reason to hope for a new reality.
