Are you at your breaking point? Or if you're not there yet, do you fear you will be soon? The world as we knew it has completely changed. If you are struggling with anxiety, fear, trauma, grief or loss, this is totally normal. Please know that you don't have to navigate through this on your own. It's is my mission to provide a safe place where you won't feel shamed or judged so that you can explore how you are truly feeling.

I provide affirming therapy in English and Spanish for youth and adults, including those who identify as people of color, LGBQ+, and trans/gender expansive.

Our work together can help you feel seen, laugh, increase self-awareness, and bring clarity to your relationships and areas where you might feel stuck or uncertain.

I am available for TeleMedicine appointments immediately. This is an unprecedented and challenging time in our world. During this time, we need to be reaching for support, connecting to each other & deepening our connection to our own wisdom and strength and to the potential to come through this stronger and with more true joy and love.

Simply put, an ideal client is the one who just shows up. Whether or not you have been gently encouraged to seek therapy or you have made the decision on your own, it takes courage and intention to move forward on your journey towards growth, self-awareness, and healing.

Ideal clients prefer and are open to delving deeper beneath the surface while at the same time understanding and appreciating the importance of behavioral based tools, techniques and interventions that ultimately help practical functionality.

My many years working as a psychologist have taught me that growth on any issue is possible with motivation, and that a person's strengths are key to achieving one's goals. I am every bit as attuned to an individual's gifts and coping skills, as I am to the challenges faced. I foster a safe, comfortable atmosphere as the process depends on feeling at ease to say what is on one's mind. My clients comment on my listening well and deeply, and that I have helped them make connections that are extremely valuable in identifying a path that is right for them.

I have been in practice thirty years. I see psychotherapy as a process of increasing self awareness, developing a more realistic and tolerant self esteem, and identifying and working through losses, disappointments and relational conflicts. This process enables reduction in pain, greater self acceptance, and comfort in relationships and family. This process occurs in a collaborative effort between you the client, and myself. The safe environment of the office allows for the full expression and understanding of what you experience, think, and feel. Our work together enables symptom relief, greater personal understanding, growth, responsibility and contentment.

You've been through so much in your life. You are often seen as the survivor but you feel like the outcast. The way you cope, the way you feel inside, it doesn't feel healthy any longer. You try to control what life circumstances you have been through with food, substances or other behaviors, but you have been left with only more anxiety and depression.
