Do intense emotions and negative thoughts get in the way of enjoying your relationships, work, school, or everyday life? You've tried various methods for changing, yet find yourself trapped, moving further away from the life you want. You frequently wonder: "Will I ever be happy?" "Is there something wrong with me?" "Will I end up alone?" These thoughts and feelings are overwhelming. You're worried that without action, things could deteriorate further, leading to strained relationships and increased life challenges... It doesn't have to be this way.

Imagine being calm and in control of your life again, leaving stress and turmoil behind. Living a life that's meaningful & purposeful, free of worry and fear. For the past 20 yrs, I've helped teens and adults overcome these challenges and although I understand how hard it is, I know it's possible. Things can get better. You can feel happy and connected.

We'll focus on methods that will help you effectively deal with stress, manage your emotions, and maintain healthy relationships with your friends and family. I believe collaboration is key to success in treatment and will join you in the journey towards creating a life you're excited about living. Sessions in English/Spanish. Free 20min. Consult Call.

I mainly work with clients who have strong emotions that have gotten in the way of them creating the life they want. They oftentimes feel faster, more intensely and have a harder time getting back to feeling better. During the initial sessions we'll understand and prioritize your goals for treatment and create a plan that will help you get back on track as fast as we can.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Although I use different modalities of treatment, I often use a DBT approach since it's changed my life in so many positive ways and I've seen how it's changed the life of so many others. During the intake process, we'll look at how you currently manage your emotions, thoughts and behavior and together determine what kind of treatment is best for you.
