Welcome! I have extensive experience working with trauma in a creative & holistic approach. I work with all ages but am passionate in using cultural healing methods, expressive arts, play therapy and Sandtray. I am passionate about working with Latinex first generation as I can relate from my professional and personal experience. Who would've thought this 6th grade dropout field worker would be able to give back. I also have over 15 years working in Academia. Bienvenidos, permítame asistir cons su salud mental para usted o sus hijos. Terapia es un proceso muy personal y usted tiene toda la herramienta para sanar.

I believe that therapy can be a great environment to help you grow as an individual, to mend broken relationships, and to let go of the past that may be holding you back. I believe in creating a strong support system in order to help with the healing process and move forward with your life. In working with children, families and individuals I utilize an eclectic approach with an emphasis in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I believe thinking, questioning and doing leads to changes needed for growth and recovery.

Are you struggling with anxiety or overwhelming thoughts? Do you notice negative self-talk or self-defeating patterns that affect you and your relationships? Are you having difficulty coping with life stressors? I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with teens and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, life challenges, transitions, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to help you feel empowered in your ability to walk through life. I want to work with you to create tools to manage your anxiety, understand your emotions, and uncover patterns in your life and relationships.

I specialize in Couples Therapy. Therapist's who modify their individual treatment protocol and adapt it to couples counseling tend to have poor success and high relapse rates. My treatment protocol is Emotionally Focused Therapy. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a specialized treatment protocol to help distressed Couples find their emotional balance with each other again. Couples who receive Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), will emerge from treatment with a high success rates (75%-90%) and low relapse rates as indicated by evidence based research.

Are you and/or your partner feeling anxious, frustrated, or angry in your relationship? Do you need help figuring out the problem and how best to resolve it? Do you have a teen experiencing anger, anxiety, or depression? Do you notice differences in his/her mood and that effective communication has decreased? Do you have a child or pre-teen experiencing trouble in school or home? Is ADHD or a social situation causing concern? I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you and/or your family members can express your feelings and concerns and get the help you need.

My mission as a therapist is to sit with clients in a way that supports healing and growth and encourages discovery of innate wisdom. I believe that we all possess the capacity to know peace, but that sometimes we become disconnected as a result of painful experiences and unhelpful coping patterns. Disconnection can manifest as anxiety, depression, addictive or other self-destructive behaviors, or even psychosis. When symptoms interfere with our ability to have satisfying experiences-- in relationships, at work, and in life in general-- we can benefit from getting help.

By combining Nutrition/Neurotransmitter balancing with Psychotherapy my approach is a perfect combination for those struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, weight loss, substance abuse and ADD. Supporting brain chemistry while doing therapy makes therapy a solution rather than a band-aid. I use an integrative approach with clients rather than a tunnel-vision approach. If our body and brain are not healthy, our relationships cannot be either.

Welcome, It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to seek therapy, and I am honored to be a part of that journey. I take a collaborative, integrative, and compassionate approach, utilizing a number of evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual. I am passionate about supporting my clients, and providing a confidential safe space that allows you to explore your inner and outer worlds, free of judgment and expectations. I believe in empowering my clients to explore, heal, and reconnect with their authentic and yet evolving, contextual, and relational selves, so that they may live a rich and meaningful life.

All persons have intrinsic value and worth- which is of utmost importance to remember while exploring the layers fashioned in your own narrative and your journey of life. These contribute in shaping personal relationships, growing faith, making healthy decisions, as well as establishing patterns and habits that can become problematic. Seeking support for a more fulfilling life, and the restoration of what matters most, is nothing less than heroic.

Unresolved and lingering circumstances can be difficult to wrestle with on a daily basis. They have an underlying power to influence our well-being and our relationships with others in ways we often see but do not understand. I offer a supportive, gentle space as you seek solution, revelation, and stability in your circumstances. I work with children, adolescents, and adults addressing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety and stress, relationships, life transitions, and conflicts in work, school, and family.

You worried about your relationships that it’s now hard to focus on other aspects in your life. You may be fed up with having the same fights over and over, feeling overwhelmed or lonely, and feeling insecure. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for a change. You’re ready to understand and manage your emptions. You’re ready to feel confident. Most of all, you’re ready to feel more connected and in control of how you show up in your relationships

Are you in the midst of a personal crisis or a life transition? Do you know you need to make changes in your life? Psychotherapy is a supportive, confidential way to approach these issues. An initial appointment will assess your concerns and develop recommendations to best meet your needs.

Many people have thoughts about what they want their lives to be like, but sometimes find that living does not have the balance and meaning they hoped for. In spite of best efforts, they don't seem to be able to change their thoughts, feelings and/or behaviors. This is when additional help is needed to find their answers and resolve their challenges with anxiety and depression, addictions, traumas, early childhood wounds, relational difficulties or other types of problems that stem from living in a challenging, complex world. You deserve to work with someone who cares and can help you make the changes you want.

Sometimes the challenges of life can be overwhelming. We may feel stagnant, unbalanced, and/or ambivalent. We can either suffer in the current conditions, or be responsible for changing them. The choice is ours. I utilize well-researched, evidence-based practices to help clients develop concrete skills and techniques to effectively manage a variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, and relationship issues. My focus is to build a collaborative relationship and assist clients in making positive changes in their lives by applying practical and proven strategies. I place importance on self-awareness, exploring how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected.

What is keeping you from succeeding? Do you have unresolved pain from your past? Having difficulty managing your stress? You are not alone! I have worked successfully with children, teens, adults, and families on mastering issues related to trauma, anxiety, and stress. I will walk alongside you as you explore your inner strengths and obstacles and aim to create a more solid future. Please give me a call as we begin to explore this together. Your healing journey awaits.
