Thank You for your time. Over the years I have worked with people from varied walks of life including children with social and emotional difficulties, adolescents facing their own unique challenges, adults, couples and entire families. I have been fortunate to train with experts in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Object Relations, Self Psychology, Play and Sand Tray Therapy as well as, Family Systems, Structural Family Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In addition, I am certified in the clinical application of hypnotherapy through, and former Vice President of, the American Psychotherapy & Medical Hypnosis Association.

You’re Asking Yourself When Things Changed, & What Caused It. If you look in a mirror & feel like you don’t recognize the person looking back at you… Maybe you vaguely remember the last time you were happy, & everything was going right, but you don’t know how to get back there– You're not alone. We have all been there at one point or another in our lives. But, I believe that You Have The Power To Be The Person You Want To Become. In every session you’ll experience a safe space where you, or your child, can unpack life’s troubles, in the journey of finding freedom, healing, and wholeness. Together, we can get your life back on track.

Besides 1:1 sessions and couples work sessions, I also train clinicians in awareness based somatic psychotherapy. I also, hold two types of weekly groups that are ongoing, although they are open to new people from time time.

I am a skilled Associate Marriage Family Therapist that is available to explore your feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of your life that you would like to change or better understand yourself and others. I would like to walk with you on your journey for desired change.

You don't have to go this alone! I approach my clients with authenticity, non-judgement, and compassion. The issues that I would be honored to support you with include: depression; anxiety; working through trauma; grief/loss; major life transitions; self-discovery; exploring/cultivating creativity; exploring cultural identities; creating satisfying relationships; and understanding and resolving conflicts in family relationships. I integrate various theories and approaches based on your particular goals. Our work together can be exploratory or action oriented: focusing on the past, the present or the future; long or short term.

During difficult times, no matter how big or small the issue may be, I extend an invitation to provide support and guidance, while you and/or your family member(s) take steps towards healing. Everyone knows or understands what it means to suffer - whether one grew up in a volatile family system, carries the scars of traumatic life events or lives with feelings of self-doubt, inner discord or unhappiness. I can provide you with a client and trauma - centered approach to healing. I will help you acquire the balance, relief, or personal development you are seeking.

On the outside, it appears you have it all together. You have an ideal life with a great job, a good marriage and a lot of friends. But something is off. On the inside, you feel alone: no one knows the burdens you carry. You have tried everything you know to do, but still feel depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. You're terrified of the moment when everyone figures out you are a fraud. You know on paper you have a good life, and you're confused why you don't feel happy. You have come to the right place. Therapy can help you resolve those internal thoughts, feelings and stuck points that no one else sees.

I believe in providing a client-centered, strength-based, nonjudgmental and compassionate place to assist clients in creating the life that they desire and deserve. I integrate various approaches in collaboration with clients to develop goals that promote healing and healthy living. Working with individuals, children and families has been very fulfilling and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to do this work.

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy in a safe and focused environment. People often feel comfortable quickly, and are able to find a place of safety, allowing their inner resources to surface. My 15 years as a MFT and 35 years practicing other therapies give me the tools that make my therapy effective. I offer guided relaxation,imagery, and hypnotherapy allow a deepening access to the subconscious, getting more done in fewer sessions. EMDR is available and I am constantly learning new techniques for Trauma treatment, most recently completing classes on Insomnia and advanced EMDR.

You are on a path toward healing. I would love to partner with you and bring my training and experience to support your healing and growth. Individuals, couples, families, and children are all welcome. I work with Narrative, Existential, and Strengths Based modalities to help you find meaning in suffering, create a new narrative, and capitalize on the strengths you already have. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. I provide therapy in English and in Spanish.

EMDR trained Clinician. All of us face difficulties from time to time. You are not alone. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships or trauma? Do you struggle with unwanted thoughts or feelings? Does your mind never seem to stop? Do you have trouble finding motivation? Imagine what it would feel like to have greater peace, confidence, happiness and live a meaningful life. Together, we can develop a plan to help you feel better and reach your goals. Sometimes these struggles lead to a great awakening.

Change—both expected and wanted or the complete opposite—affects us all, and we cope with it in varying ways. Traumatic events are never planned and often require new strategies to effectively navigate a world that may no longer feel as safe as it once had. The impact of loss, anticipated or not, deeply affects individuals, families and couples. My clinical practice is built on an investment in encouraging one’s own narrative expression of the human experience, identifying skills and strategies for living one’s best life, and providing a secure and caring place in which to grow and love change.

(I AM ONLINE ONLY AT THIS TIME)- Is your child struggling with behavioral issues, problems at school, fears, sadness, or anger?Are you feeling stuck and not knowing how to help them? All kids with go through times where they struggle. It is during these struggles when support can make all the difference. We will work together to find ways to support you and your family.

I work with individual adult and adolescent clients to heal symptoms such as depression, anxiety, addictions, body image issues, somatic pain or illness, suicidal ideation, parent- child related difficulties, and attachment-based wounding. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems, a non-pathologizing approach to healing trauma, I help clients to align with their internal resource for healing, get to know the true meaning of their symptoms, and unburden the pain they carry. Clients report feeling greater connectedness, expanded perspective on their lives and compassion for themselves and others around them following treatment.
