Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

You keep telling yourself things will get better soon, but deep down you feel so exhausted from trying to make things work that you aren’t sure you can muster up the energy to get through the day. Talking to friends leaves you feeling lonely and inadequate; it seems they have it all together. How could they understand? The negative thoughts about not being good enough prevent you from truly enjoying your life, friends, and family. You keep hoping for a deeper connection-to be understood, and to feel like yourself again, but you just don’t know where to begin.

The experience of life has many emotions...joy, excitement, fear, sadness, or grief, to name just a few. When negative emotions become overwhelming, it helps to talk to someone who can be objective, unbiased, and supportive. My aim in therapy is to explore the feelings defining your life, from your perspective, while in a safe and caring environment. Together, we'll explore your existing strengths and abilites, discover new ways to use or enhance your coping skills, and help you to build hope and resiliency through all of the phases of your adult life.

You are tired of going through the motions of life only to be disappointed, discouraged and depressed. You can't sleep well and you are overthinking about what you said.

Are you a professional in your 30s–50s ready to transform your life? Anxiety, depression, burnout, or relationship strain have left you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Career demands, family pressures & life transitions can dim your spark—leaving you with constant worry, low motivation, communication breakdowns, intimacy challenges, or that quiet thought, "Is this as good as it gets?” On the outside you’re holding it together and succeeding, but inside you’re exhausted and ready for real, lasting change. You want more than just coping. You want practical tools that grow & restore the real you & genuine fullfillment.

For the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate some of life’s hardest, messiest, and most transformational moments. At my core, I’m a warm, caring, and deeply invested counselor who believes that real change happens when you feel both supported and challenged in just the right balance.
My style is a blend of compassion and straightforward honesty—I’m known to be blunt when it’s needed, silly or sarcastic when it helps lighten the emotional load, and solution-focused when you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and do the work. I take my role seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously.

If your teen is struggling with anxiety, avoiding school, or becoming increasingly withdrawn, you may be feeling worried, frustrated, or unsure how to help.
Many teens today feel overwhelmed—whether it shows up as school refusal, panic, shutdown, or constant stress. What looks like avoidance is often anxiety that has become too hard to manage.
Therapy can help your teen understand what’s happening and begin taking small, supported steps forward.

My ideal clients are bilingual adult women — Latina and English-speaking — carrying years of unnamed grief, relational transitions, and a nervous system responding to stress in ways they no longer recognize. They are women of faith who feel a deep dissonance between what they believe and what they experience emotionally. Many have spent their lives as caregivers — mothers, professionals, ministry leaders — who never received the care they now need. They arrive when the exhaustion is no longer manageable and the body begins to speak what the mind has silenced for years.

You might be here because you’re tired—of pushing through, overthinking, or feeling like you should be doing better by now. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood-related and identity/LGBTQ+ challenges, especially those who feel emotionally worn down or self-critical. My approach is laid back, warm, and collaborative, grounded in empathy, insight, and the occasional well-timed laugh. I’m especially attentive to patterns, relationships, and the stories you tell yourself.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, chronic stress, and long-standing survival patterns. Many of the people I work with grew up navigating environments where safety, emotional support, or stability were inconsistent, and those experiences can continue to affect relationships, self-worth, and the nervous system well into adulthood. My approach is compassionate, grounded, and practical. I integrate trauma-informed methods such as EMDR, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation to help clients move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a stronger sense of self.

Congratulations. You are obviously closer to creating change and healing in your life.

As you well know, this healing process can frequently be arduous and frustrating, but I look forward to working with you to develop a meaningful therapy relationship and experience.
