Life is filled with a multitude of experiences in which one is unfortunate to fall backwards than to fall forwards. From that point one determines how their next steps in life will be. Whether struggling with parenting strategies, understanding what it means to manage a current/past traumatic experience, or contemplate the question "Why me?" Using a holistic approach supports a person both internally and externally. Mind, body, and soul. Health of the whole-being is wealth, I encourage anyone who seeks therapy to be motivated and ready to work. "Healing is dependent upon the person who seeks it."-Kellie Vazquez

Who listens to you? Perhaps your relationships are strained, or you're going through a major life transition. Trauma, marriage, births, divorce, career changes, and death are just some major life changes that emotionally trap and isolate us. If you've realized only you can make needed changes, then now is the time to take action. I work with individuals, directly focusing on working through and integrating events, helping accepting a new identity, and encouraging strengths to achieve goals. Life hits hard, know yourself, and learn to overcome and conquer your fears.

Feeling/thinking that your coping skills no longer serve you, alone, out of control, helpless, hopeless, having trouble in your relationship, etc? I’d love to provide support to you, your family, you & your partner, or your child along the way while you work in concert to find the root of the “problem” that is manifesting itself in the symptoms that you're experiencing. I'm, to the utmost, passionate about helping people. I foster a safe environment that's entirely non-judgmental where you can feel free to express yourself. I truly believe that a healthy counseling relationship is instrumental in promoting growth and happiness.

Throughout my time as a therapist, what I have admired most about working with clients has been their resilience and tenacity. I’ve learned a lot from my clients and continue to be amazed by their ongoing growth and self-awareness when faced with adversity. I work from a strengths based perspective, in which I see myself as an agent of change to promote and facilitate emotional healing. I’ve worked in various community settings and have served children, adolescents, adults and families. It would be my pleasure to support you, your child/adolescent or family in discovering and working towards emotional healing.

You have taken the first step in charting the journey you want to create in your life. Everyone has a journey, but sometimes it appears uncharted or unknown, and we need help charting a new path. I believe counseling is about connecting with someone who can help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that impact your daily life. I recognize it can be difficult to create change when life feels as if it is a whirlwind, but you do not have to create that change alone.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
