I understand this experience firsthand and hope that my profile will provide you with the information you need to find relief. As a Latinx single mother, embracing and embodying Hispanic culture is a core value of mine.

In moments of stress, you will have less blaming ways to express what you need to keep things from escalating.

I work with all kinds of psychological conditions including depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment issues, as well as trauma. I consider chronic medical and mental illness a "specialty".

Does anxiety keep you awake at night? Do you worry about what you should or shouldn't eat? Do you feel guilty over your food choices and feel the need to compensate by exercise, restriction or purging? Do you like the person you see in the mirror? Together we will explore your need to focus on food choices, calories, exercise and weight. There are many reasons that contribute to your emotional struggle that have nothing to do with food or how you look in the mirror. I will help you to discover the root of your anxiety and emotional pain so that you can learn to love and accept yourself as worthwhile and perfectly imperfect.

Life can be hard, but you don't have to just 'tough it out'. If you are having a hard time and need some support, please reach out. You don't have to wait to start therapy. We know that it can be hard to make that phone call or send that email. We welcome each client with a genuine, down-to-Earth, and collaborative approach to therapy.

Therapy is dynamic, collaborative and always needs to be tailored to the unique needs of the individual. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. In supporting clients to meet their goals and improve their functioning, practical skills are often needed in addition to self-reflection and insight. My specializations include working with clients who suffer from issues related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, identity development, gender exploration, and working with the LGBTQIA+ community. Witnessing clients celebrate their own successes and celebrating with them is the most rewarding experience for me as a therapist.

You don't even recognize the person sleeping next to you. You feel so desperate and alone. All you want is to feel the way you felt on your wedding day. You want to know that you have a partner by your side that you can actually rely on. It feels like you are so far away from where you really want to be that you just don't know what to do next. You can't remember the last time you had a real kiss. Not one of those pecks on the lips but a real kiss. Sex and intimacy feels so distant from you. It's so hard to feel like wanting to touch him let alone have sex.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing difficult life transitions by helping them to turn their challenges into sources of individual growth and strength. I use a Psychodynamic/Integrative approach, utilizing Mindfulness, Cognitive therapies, Imaginal/Dreamwork, and EMDR. My areas of focus include Grief and Loss, Depression, Anxiety, Panic disorders and Midlife Transitions. I also have specific experience with Cult Recovery and Spiritual Crisis issues. I offer online and phone sessions for anyone who would like to work with me from their home, and have found this to be an extremely beneficial platform for therapy.

When times are tough and the day-to-day feels like a struggle, it can be difficult to reach out for help. You may not know where to go or what to do to make things better. You may be telling yourself that you should be able to solve whatever you are dealing with on your own. The truth is sometimes everyone needs help. I will work with you on identifying what is bothering you, and will help guide you towards health and feeling better. You are not alone and you do not have to struggle. I'm here to help.

Life can be overwhelming. Ongoing problems can leave us frustrated and defeated. Anxiety, depression, trauma, drug and alcohol dependence, relationship conflict, or isolation make it even harder to cope. The joy and spirit of life that we once had seems far gone. We may feel like we've been holding it together for weeks, months, or even years. At our lowest we lose perspective and believe things will never change. We don't want to be this way anymore. Life shouldn't feel this hard.

Hello! Do you feel overwhelmed in your current situation? If you are seeking support and someone that can give you the necessary tools to improve your situation, then I can help.

You know how much anxiety holds you back. Others seem to have it all figured out, but you don't see how you can get there. Knocking out daily tasks is daunting enough, not to mention pursuing bigger and better things. It's not that you don't know your fears are not necessarily proportionate. You've probably read so many self-help books or watched countless influencers talk about your struggles. It seems like you are the only person that understands how you feel. You want anxiety to stop, but no one seems to know how to help.

Sometimes beginning the process of therapy can be a little scary. The gifts that can be discovered through the challenge may inspire, transform, generate, and insight a new outlook on one's future. I have great compassion for those that want to make changes in their life. Family, child (play therapy), teens and individul, along with groups are all a part of my practice. Helping to discover your ultimate truth and having healthy, intimate, communicative, and nurturing relationships can bring freedom to your world and that is the goal.

When life gets complicated you may need a safe, confidential space to figure things out with an experienced, nonjudgmental expert you trust. I've had a successful practice for over 25 yrs. Because each client and situation is unique, I've learned what it takes to help clients thrive. Using goal-oriented psychotherapy, I offer a prescriptive combination of strategies based on preference. By gaining insight into emotional and behavioral responses and applying best-fit coping skills, my clients get the relief they need to not just move through the challenges, but beyond them. **Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy available.**

Wherever you find yourself I can help you to develop a compassionate view of yourself and empower you to take steps towards getting your unmet needs fulfilled.

Teenager trouble? If you're having trouble with your teen or pre-teen, I have over a thousand hours of experience working with teenagers. Through therapy groups and individual sessions I understand how to talk to teens in a way that often has them actually listening! I've worked at five adolescent treatment centers, mostly focusing on teens who are struggling with substance abuse, or self-harming behaviors. If you have an at-risk teen, I want to help. I also work with families, individuals and couples and my goals are to help the family unit create stronger relationships and better connections to help them lead happier lives.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and have worked for the past twenty years in the field of psychology. I have worked with couples and families focusing on better communication.
