Much of my professional experience has been working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I enjoy helping each family member find their voice and improve their communication and functioning as a family. I aim to help them to lift their depression and anxiety, communicate better in their relationships, and figure out who they are and what they stand for. In addition to individual and family therapy, I run a Middle School Girls' Group and High School Girls' Group therapy experience which can be powerful and helpful for young girls. *I also provide Clinical Supervision to pre-licensed therapists.

I believe that an empathetic, compassionate, and trustworthy approach to therapy is foundational to the therapeutic relationship.

Deep down you are struggling with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. I can help! You may be fed up with feeling out of control of yourself and your emotions - like everything is your fault or you've been feeling hopeless. You might not even remember a time when life wasn’t like this. But one thing is for sure: you are ready for some relief. You’re ready to confidently speak up for yourself. You’re ready to own your worth. Most of all, you’re ready to let go of needing to do everything perfectly all of the time.

Sometimes it is hard to know which way to go. You can get caught up in the same routine daily as you balance school, work, friends, family, and relationships. You may often attempt to escape your emotions that build up while managing heavy caseloads and expectations. You may scroll through social media platforms, watch people get engaged or married, have children, and travel world-leading "dream" jobs. You may think to yourself – when will it be my turn? Here’s the truth: you aren’t some other person. You are you, and you deserve to live the best life possible.

Hello and welcome. I help teens, women and couples who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, disconnected, and struggling in their relationships. Many of my clients reach out because they are struggling with anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem, dating frustration, and loss of motivation. If you are struggling with these symptoms, I believe you deserve a space that allows you to feel safe, accepted and understood. Together we work as a team to better understand emotions and help you cope with life's stressors. I use Gottman Couples therapy training to help identify problems in communication in my work with individuals and couples.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed, anxious or maybe even depressed? Perhaps you're struggling with self confidence, navigating relationship, or the loss of a loved one? That's where I come in. Whatever the challenge, working together, we can get you to where you need in order for you to move forward and feel like you are truly healing.

I specialize in healing Relationships. I can support you and your spouse, partner, child, relative or friend in deepening understanding and improving communication. Whether your relationship is in trouble, needs fine tuning or is dissolving, I can help. We will work to move through any fears or pain that are blocking your way.

It can be difficult to navigate change, relationships, and life in general, especially in today's world. We may feel alone, hopeless, or overwhelmed. We may just feel unlike ourselves and not know how we got there. Together we can explore what is coming up for you in order to understand the root issues. With awareness can come acceptance or meaningful change.

My approach to therapy is based on developing a deep emotional connection with the people in our lives, improving self-esteem, accessing inner resources to cope with difficulties and learning to have compassion for ourselves and others. Although therapy can be very helpful when we are going through a difficult time in our lives, it is also an important self-care practice. Just like we attend yoga or the gym to take care of our bodies, taking care of our emotional and mental health is just as important. For me, wellness needs to be holistic, both body and mind need to be treated to truly achieve inner peace and fulfillment.

Sometimes it feels like the system is designed to break women down. You’re forever navigating professional and personal roadblocks that seem to pop up with the express purpose of making you settle for less. You started out with such lofty hopes and dreams, determined to prove everyone who said “you can’t have it all” wrong. But over time, your dreams faded. Society continually reinforced that your job and family are supposed to come first. So you’ve internalized this idea and, in the process, lost track of what you want. You spend so much effort pretending everything is fine, but inside, you’re losing connection with yourself.

We are all capable of greater joy and intimacy in our lives. Partnering with the right therapist can be an important step towards that personal growth. Whether you're struggling with marital issues, lack of intimacy, infidelity, parenting concerns, the grief over the loss of a loved one, or feelings of depression, anxiety or despair, you are not alone. My intention is to help you develop clarity about the nature of your experiences, awareness of your strengths and challenges and empowerment in your daily life. Through this process of exploration you can move towards an enhanced confidence and more gratifying, loving relationships.

Hi, I'm Magda. I'm a culturally-sensitive Latina therapist and really love what I do. I'm here to support and help you work through the underlying stuff that may be holding you back. Life can sometimes feel hard and overwhelming, but when we practice connecting and investing in ourselves, a world of possibilities naturally opens up. I'm passionate about helping you explore this space on a deeper level to provide a greater understanding about present issues. Together, we can shine a light on this world of possibilities. I enjoy working with adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families.

Marriage and relationships can be challenging. We don't all learn how to communicate or handle conflict effectively in our families growing up. I help couples learn how to manage their relationship in a healthy way by learning how to really "hear " each other's thoughts and feelings as well as helping them to work together to find solutions that work for both of you. I have been a therapist for over 19 years. I specialize in working with couples and individuals that want to make their relationships happier and healthier. I help couples with codependency, infidelity, communication negotiation/compromise and connection.
