I have experience in medical settings, both in-hospital and primary care, where I worked with families of critically ill children, patients diagnosed with breast cancer, MS, HIV/AIDS, serious burns, and traumatic injuries.
Whether you find yourself struggling to cope with the sudden demands of major life changes or challenges related to chronic mental health issues, making the decision to seek help can be difficult and confusing. I have a small, private practice where I provide counseling and assessment services to individuals presenting with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as well as emotional challenges related to serious illness, grief following the death of a loved one, or divorce.

I also provide supportive counseling to help patients and loved ones cope with the impact of cancer – from diagnosis through treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can be heard and empowered to explore, discover, understand, and transform their lives. Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, why their actions aren’t aligning with the person they know they are, what’s getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established relationship patterns that do not serve them. I work with clients to create a space that invites creativity and curiosity to solve problems, alleviate symptoms, and look inward at how our ways of thinking, feeling and behaving may be constricting our freedom to achieve.

I work from a wellness model and believe anyone can benefit from counseling. I work to provide a safe environment where my clients feel supported and heard. Counseling has not, and still isn't always accepted in many communities, so making the decision to come to counseling with the fear of "el que diran" (what will they say) can be difficult. I will do my best to guide you in your journey to understand how therapy can help you. I also have over 9 years of experience working with individuals who have been affected by cancer, and know it can be difficult to find someone to talk to who is knowledgeable on the topic.

I have worked extensively with Veterans and women diagnosed with cancer.
Life, amidst its transcendent beauty, can at times be challenging, leaving us feeling lost and searching for meaning. Sometimes these feelings are triggered by a specific event, such as the death of a loved one, a major life transition, a breakup or a traumatic experience. Other times, we just can’t seem to pinpoint the catalyst for these emotions. Therapy can be one tool to help during these times. I believe that the role of the therapist is to provide a secure relationship that can be utilized for personal growth, self-reflection and long-lasting change.
