Psychotherapy gives us the opportunity to better understand our problems and allows us to make the important changes we want. Therapy can be a stimulating process but it can also be difficult and sometimes painful. Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and their therapist. Psychotherapy can be useful for people with a variety of psychological disorders, ranging from stress to phobias.

Relationships are a fact of life. We all live in relation to each other as spouses, children, parents & friends. Even in the best of these relationships, inevitably, problems occur. Often, we are able to resolve problems on our own. However, there are times when the help of an expert in relationships, such as a Marriage and Family Therapist, is needed to: *improve communications, *increase understanding in relationships, *resolve conflicts, *improve parenting skills,*relieve stress, depression, anxiety,*strengthen the bonds of relationships & gain a better understanding of one another.

I have treated individuals with a variety of issues, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, dissociative identity disorder, substance abuse disorders, anger, and more.

Something’s changed. That change can be any number of things - recent baby, newly out of or into middle school/high school, change in family dynamics, or others. But something has changed and it doesn’t feel right. You used to feel like you had it together - like you were writing your own story and happy with where it was going. But lately, it doesn’t feel that way. Lately, it feels like there’s an editor changing things in your story and it’s not working out! You feel lost, maybe depressed, anxious or angry, or maybe you’re not sure what you feel, just that something’s not right.

Our thoughts, emotions and actions are all connected. During periods of high stress, negative thoughts and overwhelming emotion can cause dysfunction in our daily lives. Therapy can support you in reframing negative thoughts, so you can better manage your emotional experience and thus, change harmful actions toward yourself and others. My experience includes working with adolescents, teens, families and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, opposition, relationship and behavioral problems. I believe that therapy is a collaborative partnership between the client and therapist.

I believe that the most effective form of therapy is one where the therapist and the client can have a relationship among equals. A therapist's job is to help his or her client achieve desired goals; whether they be goals about improving relationships, learning new and more effective ways of dealing with everyday stressors, or understanding self better. I am fluent in Spanish and can also support families in dealing with issues related to acculturation, and other teen/parent challenges. I am experienced in issues relating to co-parenting and can support couples (divorced or married) in reaching agreements.

It can be frightening to seek out therapy, especially for the first time. My top priority as a clinician is to build a therapeutic relationship with my clients and create a safe and comfortable space to help them begin the healing process and live a fuller life.

I believe therapy works best when it is a partnership between the therapist and client. I would love to partner with you to support the change or increased happiness you might be seeking. You do not have to struggle alone, I am happy to work with individuals, including adults and teens. During our work together, I hope to provide you with a safe, comfortable space to work towards your goals. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and warm.

Hi there, Do you find yourself anxious, depressed, or doubting your abilities? Are you struggling to process your experiences? Are these experiences now impacting your sense of self or your relationships? Has a significant life transition left you feeling stressed?

Sometimes we know what we need to thrive but aren’t sure how to get it. I’d like to help you find what you need within yourself.
