Life is not easy, and we all benefit from the help of others while experiencing the difficult and tumultuous times that come our way throughout our personal journeys. Having a therapist in your life who lends support, offers feedback, and teaches new skills is what will often help you to continue growing and learning, and to start living the life that you wish. During our time, we will review the past, become mindful of the present, and plan for that future for which you long. Throughout our journey, we will learn and grow together, in a collaborative fashion.

When life starts to feel overwhelming, fatiguing, and chaotic, reaching out for help can be especially difficult. Then as the challenges and issues of life become impossible, we start to lose hope. The truth is, we all have the ability to live a more abundant life, no matter how difficult our circumstances may be. Things like addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and difficult relationships can all be barriers to abundance. While these barriers may seem overwhelming, they don’t have to define you or prevent you from healing, growth, and a life that is full. When you can’t get past these barriers on our own, it’s okay to get help.

Do you feel stuck? Repeating the same patterns, no matter what you do? Struggling to just get by, let alone flourish? Are you experiencing fractured relationships, unhealthy boundaries, and a harsh inner critic? Do you find yourself in the shadow of depression, the grip of anxiety, and lingering trauma? If so, it’s time for a change. The journey toward hope, healing, and a sense of control starts with a single step.

I see individuals for all types of issues; anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, relationship issues, identity issues, life transitions, and more. All of these are important reasons to seek out counseling. Whether you don't know where to start, or you have a specific issue you want to work on, that's okay; we'll figure it out together. So much of therapy is about the relationship between client and therapist, which is used as a guid to process challenging dynamics.

Life is often scary and filled with unpredictable pain. My job is to be present with you as we work through those difficult experiences together.

You don’t have to be sick to be Building Healthier Relationships (BHR). BHR is about developing a better toolbox to enhance relationships with yourself and others, and to provide a safe, nurturing environment for learning and healing. Life isn’t just a bowl of cherries—it also includes the PITs. In life, the PITs (Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment) provide the seeds for future cherries. While we are all victims at times, healing starts with moving from a victim mentality of blaming others to the survivor mentality of taking responsibility—not for what happened in the past, but for how to go forward.

Are you in need of something more, something else? Is there something missing, void, or lacking? Searching for a difference? These questions may have you considering therapy, let me accompany you in a journey for the answers.

I’m here to serve all walks of life, and I understand life itself can be challenging. Being Mexican- American, I have experienced disparities growing up and still to this day. I truly believe talking to someone we can confide in makes navigating life easier.

Imagine you're on either end of a boat. As the waves begin to crash against the deck, and the thick fog begins to blanket the surface around you, it's difficult to see and direct your attention to anyone else around you. Relying on voice, do you feel that others respond to you? Is there engagement from those you need support from? Feeling lost, can you find yourself to the lighthouse that guides you to shore? For couples and individuals who have endured attachment wounds, experienced depression or anxiety, and/or are still overcoming their trauma, I am honored to hold space to help YOU find your way back to shore.

As a therapist, I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, choice theory, rational emotive therapy, eclectic, and other to assist clients in meeting their individual goals. I prefer to utilize strengths-based, Christian Counseling, and solution-focused methods in addition to providing education, as well as teaching coping skills to assist emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Clients will consider homework between sessions to practice the skills they have learned and may be referred to additional providers as needs are identified. Whatever struggles you're going through, emotional/spiritual together we can resolve it.
