I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor. Currently I am working telehealth only using the Zoom format. Due to reduced office costs, I am able to offer sessions reasonably priced at $75. I work with the male and female adult population, primarily on an individual basis. I also work with couples in certain situations. In general, I believe couples are better served meeting with a therapist in person. I will be happy to meet with you briefly in consultation, usually 15 or 20 minutes by phone or zoom to discuss your needs and answer any questions.

I work with individuals, couples, and families with attachment concerns and complex Trauma histories using EMDR, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory. I am sex-positive and welcoming to LGBTQIA+ clients. I feel confident working with individuals who, are or already have, deconstructed their faith/religion. When I meet with you, you can expect to have a conversation - one where you are heard, empathized with, and challenged. The therapeutic relationship is just that, a relationship. I will spend time getting to know you and helping you determine exactly what your goals are for this service before diving in.

I feel that it is vitally important to increase the awareness of our thoughts. Moreover, to question our thoughts. Most of our thoughts are inaccurate, and when believed, can cause a great deal of unnecessary unhappiness. Our journey to fully understanding our purpose and value in life requires a commitment to building patience, acceptance and self-awareness, to include the awareness of our thoughts.

My Motivation for this work is to help serve and support underserved populations, specifically the Latinx population. I know the importance of finding a therapist who understands your cultural experience. Having that cultural connection provides an unspoken understanding within the counseling relationship which helps create better rapport and comfort to be able to open up on your mental health or relational concerns. After all, one of our most basic needs is the need for belonging. I want to make sure that my clients not only feel they belong in my office, but in our community.

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
