Is there an internal storm in your life? I treat clients who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression, sometimes at life-defining points. These issues may also be complicated by anger or substance abuse. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in my practice to promote positive thinking and management of difficult emotions. I specialize in anger management and career counseling. The clients I support share a desire for a less chaotic life and a willingness to take a chance for their future.

Rather it’s one of the above or all, we are ready to partner with you on your journey. We know that relationships will change as we change. This, at times, can cause our love to feel strained. Let us assist in clarifying and expressing love in healthy ways.

I have been a professional counselor for over 14 years and I understand what if feels like to be stuck; believe me, I've been there myself. Life is difficult, and we will encounter stress; that's just part of being human. How we think about things that trigger stress and how we cope with it makes the difference between functioning well and not functioning as well as you would like to. I can help you learn to identify and reframe ingrained ways of thinking that are not helpful and behavior that reinforces feeling anxious, depressed, angry, triggered, and so on. I will speak to you over the phone first to ensure I am a good fit.

I work with clients (Couples, Individuals & Families) dealing with a variety of issues, from all different cultural, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Our therapeutic experience will be a conversation; not just me telling you what to do, because you know yourself better than anyone else.

If you are feeling stuck, grieving, going through a change and/or confused, it can help to talk with someone who is able to be objective, yet supportive. At times, transitions bring us to a critical juncture or a cross road. Sometimes it is a shift and at other points it is a moment of truth. Whatever the case, you are not alone. It is possible to develop understanding and a sense of effectiveness. Although outcomes vary, the objective is peace of mind. Helping people feel better comes with over 35 years experience. All services are provided in Spanish and English.

Please note: I am providing telehealth only at this time. Say no and mean it! Learn to believe in yourself! Our own thoughts/beliefs can cause us to feel ineffective or incapable. Struggling with anxiety, anger or family of origin difficulties(controlling or distant parents), low self esteem/self worth and toxic family systems can affect our ability to see ourselves realistically or be self critical. This can negatively affect our mood. You can learn to control anxiety and thoughts with techniques, practice, changing your self talk and addressing beliefs about yourself.

The majority of the families I work with have at least one, if not many, of the following diagnoses: AD/HD, oppositional defiant disorder, learning disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, pragmatic communication, etc), social communication disorder, autism, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and/or bipolar disorder.

For many of us, one of the hardest things to do is to ask for help. Congratulations! You are taking the first step by considering therapy.

Or maybe you have had a recent life experience which is causing you to seek help. Sometimes people are simply looking to gain more self-awareness and to grow emotionally. Whatever your reason, therapy can help.

There are many people struggling with the difficult issues of trauma-related issues, difficult or confusing mental health diagnoses, and/or differing types of addiction. My goal and focus is to help those who have a hard time finding lasting help in their struggles. Living a restored, manageable and fulfilling life is possible through skilled professional counseling. I have seen tremendous growth in these areas and would like to more people experience the freedom others have gained.

For me, counseling is about the miracle question: "if you could wake up tomorrow morning and everything in your life was fixed or the way you would want it to be, what would you notice that's different?" The answer to that question can be the guidepost for therapy.
