Issues may be present for you that you not sure how to address, and you may be hesitant to seek help. I am a former professor of psychology for the University of Phoenix. As a therapist, a teacher and also as having had my own therapy for a number of years, I have learned that taking the first step and admitting a problem is always the hardest step to take. Do not hesitate and do not let fear keep you from taking that crucial first step; call or write me or another therapist of your choosing and do obtain the help that you may need.

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Life is too beautiful to not be able to enjoy it to the fullest. I will help you increase self-awareness and gain a better understanding of both and old wounds which may be holding you back from experiencing a happier life. I am here to help you learn to love yourself, to have patience and to look at problems in a different and positive perspective, so that you can find different ways to solve them. I will provide you with valuable tools to help you cope so you can live the full, peaceful and happy life God intended you to have.

Hola... It’s time for you to experience authentic peace and joy in your life and relationships. I’m an ASW and I specialize in working with PTSD (military and childhood trauma including sexual abuse and neglect), GAD, social anxiety, and difficult life transitions. I also have experience as an Active Duty Marine with a deployment to Iraq in 2008. I’ve worked with adults and children who’ve experienced different forms of trauma and abuse. I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help discover your strengths and functional and/or dysfunctional behavior and thinking patterns

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

I was trained in rendering brief and short term therapy since we all want quick results. How do I do that? I am interactive with my clients and not just provide “talk therapy”, but rather, we will co-create a plan together to help you achieve positive results. I hold my clients accountable and will assign homework. I will give you my input, impressions, and at times, challenge you when those defenses are up. In life, when we’re faced with challenges, it only promotes growth and strength. At the same time, we will give you the positive regard, reflective listening, and be your cheerleader. We will empower you, not enable you.
