I work with individuals and couples encountering anxiety, depression, and/or a personal crises that leads to needing an outside perspective to a better understand how to move forward and create positive change in yourself, work and relationships. Losing a loved one including a partner, family member, or a beloved pet can become overwhelming in keeping a positive perspective in life's goals and mission. I also work with individuals who have awakened and brought out new or hidden parts of the self which can initially feel overwhelming in defining your personal, family, and work identity.

During this extraordinary time of increased stress and uncertainty many of us are overwhelmed; facing pain, fear and anxiety as never before. I am an expert in working with clients to confront these challenges. I customize therapeutic methods and help clients develop strategies to overcome individual issues and achieve a balanced approach to life under any circumstances. After 20 years I am still constantly researching, and employ both old and new approaches with my clients. Client relationships are built on a foundation of trust and understanding, and I ensure a safe and professional environment, in-person or through telehealth.

Through the practice of Psychotherapy, I will assist you in identifying the root cause of your current struggles in an effort to break toxic patterns that no longer serve you.

Do you ever find yourself needing someone to talk to? Do you find your thoughts taking over your mind on a daily basis? The first step to gaining control over your emotions is to reach out for help. I have specialized in helping my clients reach their therapeutic goals through personalized therapy. My vast experience in catering to individuals, couples, and families, has allowed me to individualize the therapeutic process of all my clients. My specialties include helping clients overcome PTSD, Divorce, and Anxiety, which I have found to be some of the main sources of one's emotional struggle.

You can change. I believe this because in my twenty years as a therapist, I've been inspired by the work of my clients to overcome grief, trauma and abuse. My years as a therapist have taught me that we are all resilient, we all have strengths and coping skills. My years as a therapist have also taught me that when we go through a crisis, or a series of crises, our coping skills can get overwhelmed.

Most of the time, when we feel stuck or lost or frustrated or just "not quite right," there's a blind spot we're not seeing, or an opportunity to develop some skills that would help us thrive more in our own lives. We can often eventually figure out things on our own, but it's often faster, easier, and more effective with help from a skilled professional. My coaching is practical and deep.

Are you feeling stuck and needing a change? Tired of experiencing restlessness due to the worries? Whether you're going through a sudden unexpected event or you're looking to revisit old habits that are no longer serving you, I'm here to help. I am a compassionate, warm, genuine, and caring professional who honors the entire spectrum of the human experience. I believe in creating a non-judgmental, safe, and authentic therapeutic relationship to support healing.

I'm here to provide compassionate and genuine support for anyone struggling to overcome these difficulties. For children/adolescents, I utilize developmentally appropriate strategies to support them in strengthening their coping skills and reducing symptoms.

Your relationships are precious to you, but sometimes you struggle with them. As a wife and mother, as well as a therapist, I know first-hand the joys & challenges of these meaningful relationships, & how passionately we work to be the best partner & parent we can be. What a relief it can be to express yourself freely in a warm, supportive environment & be understood! Helping others to heal their pain, gain insight, experience self acceptance, build relationship & communication skills, & develop real resilience has been my privilege for almost 20 years. It's time to for you to start feeling better!

Animating Principle is where critical thinking meets compassion! As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Animating Principle, I pride myself on utilizing my sharp clinical skills to deliver compassionate therapy in a creative, non-clinical setting. I provide therapy to all ages on a wide range of presenting issues using an integrative approach. I also facilitate groups, and offer mentoring and coping classes for youth. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities including Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused.

To THRIVE is a natural desire of being human; and yet we are often stuck in surviving. We want to feel effective, creative, and balanced. With nearly 20 years of practice, I've enjoyed building powerful, therapeutic relationships with Adolescents, Adults, Families, and groups in multiple settings. Together, we access and process change through collaborative, creative, narrative, strength-based approaches. Some common issues I work with are: anxiety, depression, life transitions, creative blocks, traumas, learning differences, and addiction.

We will work together to overcome any anxiety, depression, or stressful life changes such as marriage, death, pregnancy and postpartum issues. I will provide a safe, supportive and authentic environment that will help you work through these issues while encouraging growth, self acceptance and an overall improvement in the quality of your life. I find that using a combination of existential/depth work along with behavioral therapy provides long lasting benefits and true change.

Are you looking for a therapist that feels relatable and like a real person? If you're anything like I was when I first saw a therapist as a young adult, you crave that authenticity from your counselor. I promise to never ask you "and how does that make you feel?" with a straight face. Don't get me wrong, I *will* ask about your feelings, but I'm not into going through the motions and acting a role. Do you want to spend the time and effort it takes to get down past surface symptoms to the real deep work, to be able to live more comfortably in your own skin, to be able to feel your emotions, not just think them? If so, contact me.

As a proudly queer, 2nd generation Latina, part of my work is helping others like me rebuild a connection with cultures that may be at odds with their queerness in order to find acceptance and healing for themselves. I also enjoy working with folks going through transitional life stages, struggling with “adulting”, and navigating challenges in all types of relationships.

You don't have to continue feeling depressed or anxious. I can help you learn effective ways to manage difficulties and challenges so that you may feel more in control of your life. Replace debilitating negative thoughts and embrace your strengths and capabilities. You can learn to trust that you're ready to make decisions, move forward, reach your goals, and attain what you want, feeling hopeful, motivated and optimistic. Individuals, couples and families learn new ways to communicate effectively, resolve ongoing conflicts, repair trust, learn to support each other, heal and grow a stronger relationship.

I've worked with a diverse range of clients, including professionals, creatives, trauma survivors, individuals dealing with chronic mental health issues, young adults, parents, and families.

Do you find that you are quick to judge yourself harshly or your life decisions? Is your day filled with circumstances or fears that you haven’t found a way to change? Ever ask why? Do you imagine your life with less anxious stress, more honest relationships, a stronger knowing of what’s right for you and how to achieve that? I offer therapeutic counseling using traditional and non-traditional interventions, actively bring concepts from yoga, mindfulness/meditation into sessions in an environment of support, safety and discovery where life skills, thought patterns and emotional states can be regulated, processed, and enhanced.
