I am passionate about helping people have more fulfillment and joy in their lives. Anxiety and depression keep you stuck; blocking you from the life you want. Anyone can get stuck at some time in their life, and everyone can get UNstuck. People want to be free of compulsion, have more peace, better relationships.

I specialize in helping individuals who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." - Haruki Murakami. At times, life brings us challenges and hurdles that we feel ill equipped to handle on our own. I feel honored to work with individuals as they navigate the many changes life brings-adolescence, transitioning to adulthood, marriage and family, career changes, divorce, loss of loved ones, and aging. Often, these changes create anxiety, depression, anger, and feeling "stuck" - and we may not know how to move forward. My clients seek to understand themselves better, to change old, unhelpful patterns of thinking and belief, and create lives full of meaning and joy!

Seeking therapy can be scary and overwhelming. Finding a therapist that connects with you and understand you? Even more so. As a Latina mujer, I understand the importance of feeling heard, understood, and seen in a therapeutic space that embraces all of who you are. Therefore, to be able to provide a culturally sensitive space for my clients is important for me because I understand that cultural backgrounds and generational factors play a role on our mental health.

Along with general life stressors, I specialize in: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Grief.
Is your stress getting increasingly difficult to manage? Are you finding yourself scrolling through social media too much, sleeping a lot, or avoiding what is causing you stress? Do you feel alone in what you are going through? In high-stress situations, it is common to have inner conflicts while you navigate the world around you. The overwhelm of emotions can feel unbearable. In addition, responsibilities do not stop so you manage by isolating when you can and being the person others need you to be. You’ve managed this far and now it is time to receive the support that you deserve.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
