Counseling is my second career. I have always been in a helping profession and my journey to becoming a clinician began as a teacher. Helping others has always been a passion of mine whether it was in the classroom or in a counseling office. In every client that I have ever had the privilege to be a part of their journey, it has always been my sincere hope that I could at least plant a seed of hope and inspiration. I see clients with various issues. I focus on teen and women issues but do see individuals for many other issues, such as trauma and depression.

Evenings and weekends available! Session available in Spanish and English. I have over 15 years experience in working with children and families. I am experienced in working with Children who experienced Trauma, have Special Needs, Family conflicts, School challenges, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, ADHD and also offer Behavioral skills groups for children and adolescents. I believe in starting with you where you are in your life journey and supporting you to reach where you want to be using a Solution Focused approach or an approach that will best fit your needs.

Life's stressors affect even the youngest. Children and teens face pressures that can lead to emotional and behavioral difficulties. When given an environment where a child feels safe and accepted, their walls come down, and healing can begin. I work to create a safe, engaging environment that provides space for your child and teen to express themselves while learning helpful skills. Challenging behaviors are viewed from a trauma-informed, developmental approach incorporating regulation and attachment-based strategies. I use a variety of modalities to meet your child's and teen's individual needs.

If you are like most of us, your story hasn’t gone the way you thought. Each time you make a choice, it feels like you get more stuck. You feel stressed, overwhelmed, and tired of running in circles when you know there is something better out there. You want to get out of this place of feeling worthless, seeing your relationships suffer, and hurting emotionally, mentally, and even physically. You might see your teen experiencing these same things. It is time to take control of your story, instead of floating along and letting it happen. I can help you write the life you want to live as an individual, couple, and family.

At times life can feel challenging and overwhelming. It may be hard to see outside of your current stressors which may be continuously wearing you down over time.

Together, we will establish a plan for treatment that addresses your issues and concerns.

The first step to getting healthier is often asking for help. When looking at mental health, however, that can be scary and overwhelming. Many people have tried to express their struggles, only to be met with shame. We get stressed, we lash out at ourselves or others, then sit in the shame and guilt that follows. Maybe you struggle in relationships, regulating your thoughts and emotions, or experience self-defeating behaviors. To move towards growth and progress in any area of life, you must feel accepted, cared for, and supported.

(Accepting New Clients!) Using canine interventions, Jordan and LuLu work as a team to help their clients reach goals and discover strengths while overcoming obstacles along the way. They believe that having a positive mindset helps to build on a person's best qualities, find inner strengths, improve resilience, and gain a more positive view on the world.

I provide guidance for my clients to heal from the impact of stressful or hard life circumstances by forming healthy connections with themselves and others. I chose the name of my counseling practice intentionally for this reason. Most aspen trees grow in large clonal colonies, sharing the same root system. I believe that we as humans were wired for connection like the aspen tree. Sometimes our internal or external connections can be stressed, broken, wounded, or vacant. Counseling offers us a place to create healing space so that we can find greater integration with ourselves and others.

Together we can find "you" again, and move forward. No one needs to be "fixed". What is needed are new skills to help cope with life's challenges. If you are uncertain about your needs, please call/email me. Together we can discuss options and next steps.

I own Yellow City Playroom: Therapy for kids. I believe that every child is capable of healing. Therapy should be a partnership between therapist and client, and together, we will find a therapeutic method that works well for your family.

I believe that play is the universal language of children, and that through play therapy experiences, children are able to make sense of their world and heal.

I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I immigrated to the United States when I was sixteen years old, and this experience taught me the importance of different cultures. I realized that a person's background does not define their potential for success. Some people face greater challenges than others, but it is ultimately our reactions to these challenges that define us.
