Sometimes life can get complicated.We can get overwhelmed by people, work, and life events, and it seems this bombardment of people, places and things, never lets up. We do our best to manage it all, but in the end we are still emotionally distressed, and sometimes severely.The old ways of coping with it all no longer work. It's time to STOP FOCUSING ON THE PROBLEM AND START FOCUSING ON THE CHANGE. It's time to take your life back and be in control of your well-being. TIME TO BEGIN CRAFTING AND ACTUALIZING LIFE'S MEANING (C.A.L.M. THERAPY)

Struggling without having support or a plan can be really overwhelming. You might need a sounding board, solutions, or both. I bring these elements into my work with adults who are experiencing the impact of anxiety, depression, trauma, dating/relationship issues, life transitions, women’s issues, grief/loss, and codependency. My top priority as a therapist is to create a safe space for my clients to heal, feel heard, and work toward bettering their lives. I provide warm, gentle, and open communication using reflective listening, empathy, and validation. Levity and lightheartedness will be present (as appropriate) too!

I entered this field because I want to help people experience more joy, connection, and freedom in their lives. Life is going to hand us difficult things and some of us carry extra burdens. Often, we get stuck. Some of us need to get out of our own way. Others need to redirect away from the destructive patterns we keep repeating. Or maybe we just need guidance in finding solutions that will bring us some relief from the struggles we feel trapped beneath. There are ALWAYS new skills we can learn and action we can make to improve the quality of our experiences and outcomes. Sometimes we can’t or shouldn’t do this work alone.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, angry, and overwhelmed? Do you continue to repeat the same patterns of being in unhealthy relationships, engaging in harmful behaviors that are not serving you in a good way, and continuously trying to find a way to numb the pain? I am a process-oriented and trauma-informed therapist who meets clients where they are at. I draw from the psychodynamic approach focusing on bringing the unconscious to the conscious to get to the root of the issue and explore defense mechanisms that have been adapted along the way.

Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences that often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD?

Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

Personal discovery and growth is one of life's greatest challenges but also provides one of life's greatest rewards. Through my own healing journey to address childhood trauma, I did many years traditional talk therapy. While I found this to be helpful, it wasn’t until I discovered somatic experiencing (SE) therapy that I began to experience a deep settling in my body and mind in a relatively short period of time. This settling of the nervous system can lead to a newfound sense of feeling present and engaged in life. One gains more capacity to experience positive emotions, tolerate negative emotions without becoming overwhelmed.

I offer online therapeutic tarot sessions, a form of metaphysical depth coaching, as an alternative path to personal transformation. Through intuition, synchronicity, and symbolism tarot accesses the unconscious directly, but through a hidden back door. Unlike predictive tarot, which often focuses on fortune-telling and seeking answers externally, therapeutic tarot focuses on deep self-reflection and empowers you to amplify your inner voice and make aligned decisions for yourself. In session, I guide you through the symbolic language of the cards, ask reflective questions, and offer interpretations to consider.

Whether you are coming in experienced in therapy, no experience, with specific goals, or just checking in, I am glad you are here. Over my years of service I have emphasized the importance of representation in the mental health field. As a Queer Latinx therapist I incorporate my education in Women's Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Chicanx Studies into my theoretical framework. It can be difficult asking for help but I am glad you are taking this first step.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. Maybe you're feeling stuck, anxious, alone, in pain, or have the sense that something is missing. Many of my clients have childhood experiences of neglect or abuse, difficult attachment experiences, trauma, and other histories that continue to affect the present. Together we will collaborate to create a safe, compassionate space where all parts of you can be seen without judgement. We will explore the past, identify and transform old patterns, and develop a present that supports deeper connection to self and others. We'll even find moments of humor and joy.

Within life’s challenges lies the entry point for profound change. Supporting clients in healing the parts of themselves that feel wounded is at the heart of my work. My practice is intuitive and strongly client-centered. Drawing from Narrative Therapy, IFS/Parts Work, Somatic Practices, and Mindfulness, I help clients transform behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that feel out of alignment.

RO-DBT California Collective located in Irvine, CA was founded to provide a compassionate, welcoming and supportive environment for individuals that struggle with over-thinking, obsessional thinking, trouble relaxing, rigid or inflexible responding, excessive self control, avoidance of feelings or expressing emotions, maladaptive perfectionism, and high levels of loneliness. People with overcontrol (OC) report "seeing the threat everywhere." They tend to mask emotional expressions, sometimes without even knowing they are. Many OC's have a high-attention-to-detail focus, and find they ruminate when things are uncertain or unexpected.
