I specialize in helping people suffering with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, and difficulties with self-confidence. Our work together will begin by getting to know one another and building a strong foundation for our work together. I am a warm, compassionate, and patient person and strive to utilize these traits to help others grow and know themselves on a deeper level. I believe the relationship between therapist and patient is the driving force in creating significant and long-lasting change. We will examine the various identities that you hold and the impact they have on you as an individual and your relationships.

My preference is to work with adults and couples, and to meet them where they are emotionally. From there we explore what their struggles are in their daily lives, the pain that brings them into my office, and typically use insight and a focus on their past conflicts and hurts to bring peace and resolution into their present lives.

When we experience psychological and emotional stress, our brains and bodies have automatic coping mechanisms to help us survive, such as being flooded with adrenaline to help us fight or flee or shutting down to protect us from unimaginable stress. Sometimes, however, the things we experience can overwhelm our minds, bodies, and emotions, and we essentially get stuck re-experiencing our traumas and repeating harmful patterns in how we engage with ourselves and others. I believe we each have the power, ability, and wisdom within ourselves to heal, but that sometimes we need guidance in knowing how to harness our own resiliency.

We all experience a wide variety of feelings during our life time. Uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, depression, resentment, guilt and shame are often difficult to own and process. When these feelings are not well processed, they disrupt our sense of self-esteem and self-worth. I became an LCSW in 2013 to pursue my passion to help people regain their sense of self-esteem and self-worth. In my practice, I often use therapeutic techniques such as active/empathic listening, reflection, reality testing and boundary setting. These techniques help my clients feel better about themselves and live fuller, more meaningful lives.

For two decades I have had the honor of supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and growth. I take an active, collaborative, and individualized treatment approach. I work from a trauma-informed lens utilizing insight-oriented, family systems, ego state, and EMDR therapies. I have expertise in depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and self-identity exploration.

I offer hourly sessions, extended sessions for EMDR and am fluent in Spanish.

In the therapeutic setting, my goal is to provide clients the space to be their most authentic selves. Too often in society, we are forced to wear a façade, or be a fraction of ourselves in any given space, for fear of being “too much” or fear of not being accepted fully. In our sessions, I encourage you to take up space unapologetically. I love being able to help my clients discover their real selves and give them the tools to overcome any obstacles in their journeys towards wellness. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I encourage my clients to do the same. The work begins where the masks end.

You may feel a sense of stuck-ness, a deep dissatisfaction that makes it hard to get up in the morning. Maybe your brain won't shut up and keeps racing ahead to the next worry, the next fearful thought. One thing's for sure: You want someone to talk to about what's going on, who knows what it's like to feel painfully down and stressed out. Someone who can help you get back on track to a more enriching and rewarding life. I've worked with people struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse and relationship issues in a supportive, open way that respects clients' autonomy and values.

We live in a world where we are conditioned by so many things around us. Do you feel you are not good enough? Do you experience the need to achieve perfection? Are you made to feel your needs are unimportant? This can be a result of messaging we have received from family, society, culture, etc. It can leave us feeling sad, unmotivated, and purposeless, among many other emotions. Together we can challenge norms and evaluate if and what we can reset. Imagine a life in which you could be relieved of all the unnecessary weight you carry. Together we can awaken parts of you that you may not know exist.

Many of us come to therapy because we find ourselves caught in a series of puzzling contradictions: Why do we seem unable to change the patterns that keep us stuck in place, or even hurt us? Why do we both crave connection with others and pull back from them? Why do we keep fighting the same battles over and over with other people—or with ourselves? From the difficult emotional experiences that we keep having to the repetitive choices that we keep making to the conflictual ways in which we relate to friends, partners, and even ourselves, our core struggles are continually being shaped by unseen forces that we have yet to name.

It is ok to not be ok. As we go through life, stressors increase, anxieties grow, and we can forget what it means to just be. We bring to relationships a lifetime of experiences which can hinder us or help us. Through all of this haze, we can lose sight of taking care of ourselves, understanding our needs, and making choices with those needs in mind. Being a human is a work-in-progress. I see it as an honor to stand with someone as they confront, explore, renovate, and soothe the self. With work, I believe a person can find their shine.

I have extensive training working with individuals who struggle with a range of anxiety symptoms, and diagnoses especially trauma. In my years of practice, I have noticed that many clients lack trust in themselves and the ability to find a positive sense of self. People just want to understand themselves and become more comfortable with how they handle daily life stressors and others. To achieve this goal individuals need support with recognizing triggers and utilizing appropriate coping skills to reduce the negative responses to those triggers.
