The best gifts you can give are deeper relationships with yourself and others. When depression, anxiety, trauma or grief interfere with your life, your relationships may suffer both internally and externally. If your life seems chaotic or lacks meaning it can be daunting to deal with these on your own. The courage to ask for help and enter into a therapeutic relationship is a powerful first step. You are empowered to discover your essence and begin to find meaning and purpose in your life. I will work collaboratively with you to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship. This will allow you to trust your intuition and heal.

Let's start as you are. When you feel seen and safe, growth unfolds with strength and clarity. In therapy, accountability is part of the process, and the patterns that keep you stuck are explored with curiosity and understanding. Clients I support are thoughtful and ready for growth. They may have experienced anxiety or hard seasons, but they want healthier, more secure connections. Some want stronger boundaries and self-trust. Others want to repair and strengthen their marriage or long-term partnership.

Trauma leaves wounds that don’t always heal. And you “don’t get over it,” either. Instead, it runs in the background, quietly shaping every part of your life. It’s what’s fueling your anxiety, your depression, and your relationship conflicts. That unresolved trauma is the reason you’re stuck in patterns you can’t explain – like emotional distance, frequent arguments, stress that never lets up, or unhealthy coping like substance use. Life may look “fine” from the outside, but inside, something is off. It’s a burden you carry, and it’s lonely because you feel like no one could ever really see or understand what you’re going through.

Are you exhausted from giving so much of yourself-to your relationships, your work, your family-and feeling like it’s never quite enough? Maybe you grew up in a home where love felt conditional or unpredictable, and you learned early to manage everyone else’s emotions while putting your own on hold. Now those patterns are showing up in ways that are hard to ignore: anxiety that won’t quiet down, relationships that leave you feeling depleted, a persistent sense that you’ve lost touch with who you really are. You don’t have to keep running on empty. Therapy can help you understand where these patterns came from and how to change them.

As a Latina Expressive Arts therapist with 15 years of experience, I work with sensitive, creative souls who are looking for a different kind of therapy. Like them, perhaps you tried talk therapy, explored your childhood trauma, and see your patterns. You've done the work, but still feel stuck. My approach is different. I use a creative, holistic approach to reach places that talk alone can't. This is especially powerful for trauma healing as it reaches the younger, often hidden parts of you that hold the hurt. These parts, which created self-doubt, overthinking, and people-pleasing to protect you, can finally come forward to heal.

Ask yourself, why did you choose now to seek help/therapy? Is it because you thought to yourself “I think I need to talk to someone?” My motivation to be a therapist is to be that anchor or sounding board to help you through life’s stressors. I enjoy empowering individuals with the necessary tools and resources that will allow them to engage in a healthy and self-sufficient lifestyle. I hope to be an ongoing advocate for the importance of therapy whether it is for short-term goals or for on-going support.

Cancer Therapists
How does cancer affect mental health?
A cancer diagnosis is a major life event that can significantly influence the mental health of any individual. Being diagnosed with cancer often introduces a sense of uncertainty about the future, which can cause clients to experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and significant distress. Many cancer patients may also worry about the toll that their diagnosis may have on their family, their physical health, their job, and their financial situation. The compounding of such stressors can also decrease mental health in clients and may lead to additional symptoms that can influence mental health, such as sleeping difficulties or social withdrawal.

What is the best psychological therapy for cancer patients?
The best type of psychological therapy for cancer patients is highly dependent on the needs of the individual. The therapy type that a client benefits from may also depend on what stage of the cancer journey they are in. Recently diagnosed cancer patients, for instance, may benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help clients develop skills to manage the emotional distress that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Alternatively, cancer patients further along in their journey may benefit from therapies like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or other forms of mindfulness therapy to help manage symptoms or physical pain associated with treatment. Clients may also consider group therapy, which offers cancer patients an opportunity to receive support from other individuals dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Are there any risks or drawbacks in going to therapy while dealing with cancer?
Although attending therapy while dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be helpful, one major concern for cancer patients can be the financial cost of seeking therapy. Many therapists are out-of-network, meaning they do not accept insurance, and thus clients are expected to pay the entirety of the session fee. Since many cancer patients may be out of work as a result of their diagnosis or cancer treatment regimen, the costs of therapy sessions can be substantial. Luckily, many cancer centers and local clinics may offer free or substantially reduced-cost counseling services to cancer patients and their families. In addition, cancer patients may be eligible for grants or other forms of funding from local agencies and nonprofits to seek therapy for their cancer diagnosis. Such opportunities can be very helpful for cancer patients, as they allow clients to obtain the benefits of therapy without the financial strain.

How long does cancer therapy typically last?
The length of cancer therapy depends on the needs of each client. In some cases, cancer patients may only require therapeutic support during the period following their initial diagnosis—to help manage the uncertainty and shock of a cancer diagnosis. In other cases, clients may choose to receive therapy throughout their treatment, and even following, their cancer journey. Pursuing therapy for a longer period of time can help clients develop a deeper relationship with their therapist and provide opportunity to process the challenges presented by cancer treatment, such as physical pain, and challenges associated with cancer survivorship, such as ongoing identity concerns, physical limitations, or relationship challenges.
