If you struggle with anxiety, you might know what it's like to look like you have it all together on the outside, while inside your mind won't slow down. You overthink, second guess yourself, and feel constantly on edge, even when everything seems. It may be hard to relax, speak up, or feel fully present in your relationships. I specialize in helping people move beyond just managing anxiety and start truly understanding it, so you feel more in control, grounded, and confident in daily life.

Addiction is not a problem to be fixed, but rather a person. I have worked with many people with various addictions and realize that addressing one problem from one perspective is not enough. I specialize in getting to know a person first and then helping that person heal from past hurts, learn skills for problem-solving, improve communication, build strong relationships, practice ways to manage strong emotions, learn to slow down and change their harmful or intrusive thoughts, draw from their faith for strength, develop strong support systems, and with all this, hope of long-term recovery can become reality.

Certified Gestalt Play Therapist - Child, Couple, and Individual Therapist. Growing up within a traditional Mexican immigrant family and being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have experience with how traditional and contemporary cultural norms can clash and wrongfully lead us to believe that we are the problem. I hold the firm belief that people are not their problems and instead have relationships with the problems that cause chaos in their lives. I believe people are always responding in some way to their problems. We can work together to highlight the moments that the problem would like you to forget about.

Just being human can be hard, and with all that is expected of us in this life, it can seem almost impossible at times. The external world can feel overwhelming and unsafe and our internal world can feel chaotic and just as unsafe. At the heart of any therapeutic approach is the attempt to find peace within so we can learn to be at peace with what is beyond our control. At Balanced Life Therapy Center, our clinicians are trained, each in their own preferred approach to healing, to support the inner world of their clients and help them get connected to the power they hold to move towards the life they desire.
