My approach is personal, nonjudgmental, positive with an emphasis on reducing suffering and enhancing personal happiness.

I have been working as a therapist in Southern California for eight years. I have worked with a variety of cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. Most of my experience has been working with the Hispanic/Latin American population. Previously I have worked with victims of violent crimes, childhood trauma, and stress caused by transitions in life. Therefore I have experience working with dyads such as parent-child and couples. Also, I have worked with adolescents and children.

Everybody goes through difficult times, and everyone could use a little help! Whether you're feeling "down in the dumps" or feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, or maybe it seems like you're having a hard time connecting with the important people in your life, therapy can be a place to explore what might be stopping you from being your best self.

"Well, it's always something!" How often have we all heard and said this phrase. Yet it's true. Life is always presenting us with"somethings" - loss, problems, distress, despair - obstacles to our happiness and well-being, and to our relationships. It is a very wise decision to reach out for help. Yet I know it is also stressful to try to decide on a therapist. Let me share with you who I am and my approach as a therapist. I unfailingly believe it is possible for people to make positive changes in their lives and to heal past and present trauma and pain.

ANXIETY and Depression are absolutely treatable. I know this from personal and professional experience. Emotional ups & downs make coping difficult, & keeping up a brave face next to impossible. With advanced training in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) the approaches I use target distorted thinking & unproductive behavior, while helping us write a new narrative. Whether filled with anxious thoughts, paralyzed by trauma, or the loss of something or someone precious - there is absolutely life after heartache, pain, and disappointment.

The people in your life see this strong and positive side of you, but on the inside you're feeling lost, confused, isolated, and like you don't know how much longer you can keep up this façade before the suffering starts to leak out and you lose complete control. Most clients with whom I work are struggling with depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain and disability, general stress, and/or trauma/PTSD, problems which often come to the forefront following recent relational, work, and life stressors. I'm here to help you find your truth and commit to the meaningful journey of reaching your most empowered and authentic self.

YOU have a unique ability and drive towards health and wholeness mentally, physically, and spiritually, and to relate to others in meaningful ways. Due to various experiences or traumas, that natural process can become blocked causing depression, anxiety, and disconnection from others. I enjoy working toward establishing safe, fun ways to find FREEDOM to bring joy and fulfillment! I welcome the opportunity to help you in your journey!

Accepting New Clients: Are you feeling unhappy, stuck, or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with relationship issues, work stress, or challenges with family members? Are you or your loved ones struggling with addiction? Together, we can explore your current behaviors and beliefs and begin to unpack how your experiences from the past may be impeding your ability to live peacefully and purposefully in the present.

Time to make a change? I am here to help. I practice Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on teaching coping skills and solving problems, and has been demonstrated by research to be highly effective in producing results. My specialties are anxiety, OCD, and depression, but I have experience successfully treating most problems. In addition to teaching how to resolve and manage problems, I focus on improving overall quality of life by increasing happiness and meaningfulness. I work with all ages - children, adolescents, adults, and families. I love my work and I am very dedicated to seeing my clients improve!

*Be more Conscious *Become Whole *Be Who You Seek to Be! Life is often challenging and finding a well matched professional is tough. As a Jungian Analyst in-training (IAAP), most of my clients seek help with life transitions: Mid-life & Quarter-life stresses, and the associated anxiety/depression that complicates. Typically, feelings include emptiness, dissatisfaction, despair, and a need for deeper meaning. Together we'll address the void with care and a symbolic perspective that unfolds a new relationship with the self and the Eternal. The process opens new opportunities while expanding consciousness!

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist striving to deliver high-quality therapy that is holistic and tailored to you. My priority is providing a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship. This foundation is the groundwork that allows my clients to take risks in therapy and discuss what is really getting in the way of the life they want to lead. Therapy with me means going beyond the surface of thoughts and behaviors to access underlying emotions that are often at the root of feeling stuck. As an attachment-based therapist, I help my clients explore their relationships and their emotional and behavioral patterns.
