I have extensive experience working with teenage and young adult populations; I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings and am very familiar with the needs facing teenage and young adult populations. Given my experience, I have developed a therapeutic approach that aligns with the needs of these populations; I pride myself on a non-traditional approach to therapy, and focus primarily on meeting my clients where they are. I value providing a safe, comfortable space for teens and young adults to be themselves. I have always found that mental health is as important as physical health and should be treated as such.

Welcome. I am a passionate therapist with a sense of humor. I believe that even the saddest days warrant a laugh or a laugh with a few tears. Whether therapy is an old friend or a new journey, I will create a safe place for you to work on those issues that you have attempted to move past on your own. Whether you desire change...clarity...or growth? You have made the first step toward change just by searching for a therapist. If you are ready to begin the work, I am committed to helping you reach your goals.

The desire for healing is a natural part of the human experience that is felt at all stages of life. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story with your unique goals and needs in mind. Through an integrative yet family systems-oriented approach to treatment, I am passionate about serving as a fellow traveler on your journey towards growth. My therapeutic background consists of assisting children, adults, couples, and families both in person and virtually. I offer teletherapy services to adolescents, teens, adults, families, and couples while being located in a confidential and quiet environment.

Wonderful! You are taking the time to care for yourself. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience, and am here to assist adults who desire personal satisfaction, healthy relationships, emotional balance, goals, and purpose. I help with issues related to adjusting to life transitions, depression, anxiety, mood cycling, relationship issues, blending families, transition into adulthood, spiritual questioning, and childhood or past trauma. I can help you understand your family dynamics and heal from being wounded by those you love. I work in-person and through telemedicine with video.

My practice currently provides online psychotherapy and (limited) neuropsychological services for residents of California and New York in both Spanish and English language. As a Chicana (bilingual and bicultural) my aim is to privilege cultural contexts in assessments and individual psychotherapy as well as to promote more effective strategies for change.

I promise there’s a reason you’re feeling the way you do, and the reason is more understandable than you think. When we’ve experienced something hard, no matter how much we try to move on, sometimes we can’t shake the leftover bad feelings. Naming the problem is tricky because, on the surface, things look fine–but, on the inside, you’re just not happy. Maybe you can’t sleep, can’t stay motivated, or you’re struggling with relationships at home or work. I work with a lot of LGBTQ youth and adults, couples who can't stop fighting, and burnt out parents. I hold therapy in a social justice lens and care about your unique perspectives.

I believe therapy is about connection. Therapy is based on the connection with your therapist to create a meaningful, supportive space to explore your most vulnerable emotions. Therapy can help you strengthen your connection with the people in your life in a positive and hopeful way. And most of all, therapy can grow your connection to your most authentic self. Therapy can help guide and support you through times of stress, build communication and interpersonal skills, and develop a deep understanding of who you are and what you want out of life.

I have been trained in a unique approach called Process Work, developed by Dr. Arnold Mindell. Process work is a dynamic and transformative approach which uses Jungian psychology, Taoism and physics. It offers new ways of working with problematic or painful experiences. Relationship challenges, physical symptoms, career conflicts and social tensions are approached with curiosity, respect and creativity. In using process work, I believe that the solution to a problem is contained within the disturbance itself; and I provide practical ways through which individuals, couples and groups can connect with a greater awareness.

As a Black woman who is often seen as "having it all together," it may be challenging to admit that you are having a difficult time. You may automatically say that you are "good" or "well" when people ask how you are doing but know deep down that this is a mask of how you are really feeling. Recognizing and admitting to yourself about the mask is the first courageous step to getting support. Even though many of us have been told to not let our guard down by showing others that we do not have it all together or that only "crazy" people who do not look like us go for therapy (not true!), you know what you need for yourself.

It helps to have a safe place to process feelings, work on relationships, and better understand patterns of behavior when feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Together through exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences we can work through obstacles and develop new coping skills that allow you to move forward in a healthy happy manner.

There is no reason to live with insomnia, pain, fears or anxieties, extra weight, low self-esteem or old habits that no longer serve you well and damage your health and well-being. I sit down with you in our first coaching session to find out what you want to accomplish. What behaviors and emotions do you want to experience when you achieve your goals? I am a firm believer in the fact that all of my clients have the answers they are seeking within themselves; I simply help you to draw these out.

Often pain, anxiety, discontent or depression in our lives is telling us something. Our emotions are eloquent communicators. Through the process of therapy we can learn to utilize this information. With self exploration and new insights, we can consciously create richer, more meaningful, fulfilling lives. Even in the best of times, people have recognized the benefits of addressing, through counseling, the difficulties that limit their personal and work lives. In these very challenging times, familiar coping strategies may no longer be working and the insight gained through therapy can be even more valuable. In a safe, respectful, confidential environment, you can learn how to build more effective ways to relate others, reduce stress, and live more authentically.
