Are you feeling depressed, anxious or having relationship issues? You don't have to feel that way. I'm a compassionate therapist who can help you have a joyful life. For 15 years, I've used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in English, Spanish and Portuguese to help adults, couples and teens. I primarily use CBT, but depending upon what's best for you, I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Positive Psychology. I treat depression, anxiety, relationship issues, PTSD, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sexual issues, and victims of sexual and physical abuse.

I integrate all my training in helping clients heal and transform their lives in the direction which honors living one's full potential/purpose. I work with individuals and offer women's expressive arts groups. The areas I have worked with include: mild - moderate anxiety, mild - moderate depression, stress reduction, communication skills, codependency, low self- esteem, relational issues, grief, social skill building, marital/divorce/relationship issues, women's issues, racial/ethnic/cultural concerns, meaning of life, life transitions, life purpose, identity questions, BIPOC issues, spiritual issues, and eco-related issues.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

Are you ready to make positive and lasting changes? You are definitely more than just your problems, but sometimes our problems get so big they are all we can see. When you are in my office you are seen and treated as a whole person with both strengths and struggles. I believe that therapy works best when it happens in the safety of a trusting, supportive, and collaborative relationship. My style can be best described as flexible as my interventions are based on the unique needs of my clients.

Well-being is possible! I am passionate about helping clients get relief from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

Clients find increased peace, empowerment and fulfillment in their lives. My style is genuine, collaborative, empathetic, non-judgmental and practical.

As a relational trauma expert, I offer the ability to differentiate between the sound of your intuition guiding you and your traumas misleading you.

You wake up each morning unsatisfied. You are aware that you are not living up to your full potential while anxiety, depression, trauma or stress are preventing you from realizing your true nature. Your relationships might feel inauthentic or limited and you are craving a deeper connection to yourself, others and life.
