Let's work together towards health."

In the 90s I began work with a broad spectrum of clients, both English and Spanish speaking, around issues that include trauma and PTSD, child and family relationships, teens issues, depression, anxiety, and addictions. Also, much of my work is centered around grief and loss,and assisting people who are struggling with anger management.

"Many of my clients have been in psychotherapy/counseling before and start working with me to go deeper to transform from the repetitive relational patterns that hold them back. Most of my clients value psychotherapy and see the benefit from telling the emotionally significant story of their lives in a confidential safe setting.

A conversation that weaves past and present, fantasy and reality, desire and inhibition to form a detailed understanding of one's life."

"My ideal client is struggling with "not feeling themselves", possibly yearning for something different or more in life, but conflicted on how to reach peace. This can be individually or in the context of a current relationship. I enjoy supporting others in healing from attachment wounds (childhood or adulthood), anxiety, depression, shame, fear, and tackling those thoughts/emotional patterns that aren't providing a quality of life. My mission and goal is to help others find freedom from pain, stress, burnout in order to connect to their true, core being. Many of us can survive, few of us are thriving and free internally. "

"Does your relationship cause you more pain than joy? Do you feel misheard or misunderstood in conflicts with your partner? Do you feel blamed by your partner, even when you weren't at fault? These may be signs you are in an emotionally/verbally abusive relationship. All couples have conflict, but emotionally abusive relationships wear away our sense of who we are and leave us doubting our sanity. I can help you understand what is your responsibility in the relationship, and what is not, and help you to cope if you decide to stay, or to move forward and recover if you decide to leave."

"We are constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we need to do it all on our own. I have good news- you are not alone and you don't have to do it on your own!

Having a strong sense of identity and purpose allows us to heal, forgive, and move forward with clarity, hope, and tenacity."
