Teletherapy for Granada Hills, CA

My background includes working with individuals who needed support when faced with depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis, trauma, addictive behaviors, codependency, domestic violence, grief & loss, life transitions, and interpersonal relationship issues. In addition to my being a clinical Psychotherapist, I am providing Life Coaching support. Life coaches help the clients they work with focus on identifying and moving towards personal and, at times, professional goals. Through focused coaching support, clients can learn healthy and helpful ways of navigating through challenges in creating a life they feel excited about.

"We all have our stuff." I heard a wise woman say this years ago. We might feel overwhelmed by all the expectations of life - of adulthood. We might be carrying the weight of something terrible that has happened in our lives. We might feel deeply alone - even when we are around other people. Maybe we feel out of control or lacking discipline, struggling to break habits that we know are bad for us. Whatever the case may be, you are not alone. Lots of people come to therapy. Lots of people feel much better after trying it.

As a Latina provider, I am mindful of how our culture and upbringing can impact our sense of self and how we handle challenges. I believe in being culturally mindful and also consider how physical, social and other factors impact our mental health. I am also open to discussing your spiritual journey if you would like. My clients usually appreciate a tailored approach that incorporates the most appropriate treatment for their specific situation. As professionals, we can also get very busy but with the availability of services via Telehealth, you can easily schedule this time for yourself and your growth. Hablo Espanol!!

Why did the patient give up on shopping for a therapist online? Because they realized that healing isn't as simple as adding to a cart and checking out! Therapy is not like online shopping; it's about more than just clicking buttons. It's about taking the time, building trust, and creating a genuine therapeutic relationship. Real healing takes effort, and I might be the perfect fit for you or your child. I specialize in working with children struggling with adult problems and adults who feel like there are undeveloped parts of themselves that need to be addressed. Let's work together toward real healing, minus the shopping cart.

Do you lie awake at night with something bothering you? Do you feel overlooked or taken for granted? Do you feel stuck where you are in life? Do you always put others’ needs first? If so, I can help.

If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns of anxiety, hopelessness and frustration; you’re not alone! Or perhaps your relationship with your partner or children feels strained and joyless. I believe healing and restoration happen in the context of authentic relationships. My experience working with people from all walks of life has reinforced my belief that there is hope and healing for everyone. As a Christian Integrative Therapist, I believe the Word of God has given us everything pertaining to life and that the presence of a caring Christian therapist can be a catalyst for profound healing and transformation.

Counseling doesn't have to be scary. Throughout our lives we all experience difficult situations that need a second set of eyes and ears to offer a different perspective. Since friends and family are unable to be objective, that is where the counselor's role comes into play. Whether you are having family conflict, relationship issues with your significant other, or just need someone to talk to because everything just seems to be falling apart, I am here for you.

You’ve done everything you know to do to help yourself and nothing is working anymore. You’re stuck in repeating patterns and feel like you’re not moving forward. You are great at helping others, but when you need help you feel alone, exhausted and unable to ask. Self-reliance is all you’ve ever known. If this sounds familiar, I get it! It’s a lot! And I want you to know you don’t have to keep living this way. Working with me, you will discover a new way to restore yourself in mind, body and spirit.

All of a sudden you remember that you have to do this. That thing that is so important to get to, that you have yet to do. The thing that you don’t really want to do. If only you could put it off your head. So now you’re keeping yourself busy to avoid doing it. But the more you avoid doing it the worst you feel. Why can’t you just make yourself do it! And just like that you’re on edge again. The uneasiness will follow all day long now. Then the negative thoughts come. “Everyone will know” “I cannot fail” “What is wrong with me”. The more you think about it, the worst it gets, the worst you feel. You used to handle it on your own.

I work with people who process life's challenges differently learn differently and think differently. I will help you discover what works best for you to do better in school/college, work; life in general. Together we will uncover your how you heal best and your strengths. We will figure out how you learn or perform best. We will also work on your weaknesses (memory, attention, focus, anxiety, coping skills, etc.). Contact me if you feel like you could be achieving more in life, but something is holding you back, you feel like you are stuck or if your child/teen struggles in life and school with with everyday tasks and demands.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated and don't know why? Is worry keeping you up at night? Feeling so down it's difficult to follow through with plans?

Together we will determine goals, enhance your strengths and explore areas you wish to improve.

Does your daily life feel like a perpetual "hamster wheel" leaving you feeling helpless, confused and stuck? I know life can be difficult, and it’s not always easy to show up for yourself. You might feel pulled in multiple directions, each task or responsibility vying for your attention. Maybe you’re struggling with burnout, impostor syndrome or low self esteem. Let's work together to go beyond symptom reduction or simply “fixing” the problem. Our work will allow you to explore and identify patterns and/or experiences in your life that are keeping you stuck and lead you toward a path of healing, growth, and change.

Depressed? Anxious? Drowning in pain? Family problems? Relationship issues? Low self-esteem? Melting away trauma, wounds, agony, and sufferings in life is a slow and delicate process. Factors that influence a person's development, personality, relationships, and the way that person is in the world could be influenced by personal historical background, family, friends, culture and environment .

I typically work with adults dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, stress management and life transitions. I am experienced in working with clients from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in providing culturally competent therapy.
