My experience includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, identity and self-esteem issues, trauma, depression, life transitions and adjustments, and interpersonal issues. I'm able to provide therapy both in English and/or Spanish.
I work with adults and couples impacted by childhood trauma, intrusive thoughts, anxiety and panic, relationship issues, codependency, identity confusion, low self esteem, and grief/loss.
During the course of our lives we experience many joys and hardships, and along with them the full range of human emotions. Each moment and feeling is an opportunity to better understand self, other, and the world. Your painful feelings may be signals that old wounds need to be acknowledged or that your truth is not being lived fully. If you are currently struggling to cope with life challenges, feeling unfulfilled or seeking personal growth, the therapeutic relationship can provide an open and nonjudgmental atmosphere to explore the body and mind in a safe, comfortable space.

Sometimes life can be chaotic and challenging. Reaching out for help can be the important first step towards emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

I desire to create an atmosphere of genuine respect, understanding, and support for each person I work alongside.

"Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance." "Letting go" is often the best form of acceptance. If you struggle with holding on to grief, depression, anger, anxiety, frustration, etc... I am here to help. Experiences can lead to negative expectations & perceptions of self and life. I work with clients to accept negative experiences without accepting those experiences as their value and/or identity. We work together, in a caring and safe environment, to identify barriers in life and learn and implement skills that improve mental, emotional, and behavioral health, as we begin the process of living a Quality Life.

I do well with individuals who are wanting more freedom and satisfaction in their lives. I know that most people do not know what to do or what is causing the pain in their lives. People need someone they feel comfortable with to assist them in identifying what is the cause of their suffering. I know how confusing and hopeless it can be to try to figure out what is wrong and how to "fix it". I provide a safe, comfortable environment where individuals can learn the skills necessary to transform patterns of confusion and suffering to peace and contentment.

I strive to help you obtain skills to define and empower yourself, despite your circumstances and experiences. It's more about how you are functioning than any labels. I believe that change has already begun with the next right decision that moves you closer to where you want to be. Depending on your comfort level, we can explore how past experiences can influence the present or we can focus on where you are now and identify steps toward desired changes. I would be glad to help you find hope, a new perspective, motivation, confidence or simply a listening ear in support.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and patterns? Are you extra critical of yourself, do your relationships feel unfulfilling?

You might be struggling with events in your past, your current life circumstances might feel impossible to overcome, or you have fears about the future. Imagine what it would be like to develop internal resilience, to feel joy again, to recognize the person you see in the mirror, to feel like you are in control of your life and decisions

As many people have limited time to address their emotional well-being, my services are offered exclusively online. Due to a myriad of life circumstances, too many people also live with profound isolation. Do you find yourself thinking... “People don’t understand me,” “I don’t belong,” or “I’m not good enough.”? Do you feel closed off, excluded, or alone? Prior to seeking help many of my clients have ended up struggling at work, at home, in their relationships, or in all of the above. It is not uncommon for them to initially feel overwhelmed and uncertain about where to begin in order to address their difficulties.

You deserve pleasure—not the kind you have to earn, justify, or shrink yourself to hold. The kind that’s rooted in your truth. The kind that rises from within you—unruly, alive, and wholly yours.
Maybe you’re exploring gender or sexuality, unlearning shame wrapped in religion or stitched into old survival strategies.
Maybe you’re longing for relationships—with partners, family, friends or with yourself—that feel more honest, more liberatory, that honor all of who you are.

The ideal client is transparent, communicative, self-motivated for therapy, can identify their own goals and reasons for change, and willing to do the work inside and outside of sessions consistently. Life is hard. Making changes is hard. Feeling stuck in longstanding patterns is hard too. I think it's not about avoiding "the hard", but rather about "picking your hard." When we focus on what we can control, we have more opportunities to set realistic expectations, and when we set realistic expectations, we are more likely to execute and feel successful. I think we can do some great work together! If you're ready, I'm ready!

I think most of us can't get through life unscathed or without wounds. Whether as children or adults, those closest to us may not know the depth of our pain or how to help us heal. And we may not know how to express that pain. This is where having a sacred time and space can be pivotal in healing from events robbing us of our sense of well being as we navigate life. My goal for every client is that you can learn to love yourself and know deeply that you can handle life, no matter how it goes. You can turn a corner in an EMDR session - from 'I'm unlovable' to 'I am fine as I am.' Or 'I can't let go' to 'it is over.' You're worth it.
