I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who understands the difficulty in making the decision to start your therapeutic journey. You're doing great by taking your first step and choosing to see a therapist!

Feeling out of balance? Do things seem out of order in your life? Everyone needs a supportive space to process challenges of daily life and figure out how to cope with stress. I am dedicated to meeting the individual needs of each and every client, by developing a healthy relationship together and being an active listener to each client's unique story.

The most integral aspect of counseling is coming from a person centered, peer and trauma informed focus that is collaborative and culturally sensitive, meaning, providing you with the autonomy and agency to decide what coping skills, care, and approach is best suited for you. Working as a team is imperative in order for each session to feel like a conversation and not something purely clinical. Providing you with resources you need and desire, along with actively listening, being empathic, and present, creates the ideal atmosphere for healing. It is my honor and privilege to be of assistance to you.

I have 12+ years of experience providing a wide range of therapeutic and support services to individuals, couples, and families of diverse backgrounds and would like to welcome you to begin your healing journey. I prioritize the utilization of strength-based & client centered approach to help my clients feel safe, heard, and empowered.

Do you ever feel inadequate? Ever wish you had more self-control around food? Do you always feel dissatisfied with your body? Maybe you feel as though you’ll finally be happy once you lose weight, work out more or “shape up.” Do you ever avoid certain social events because of food or fear of comments about your eating or body? The problem isn’t your body, food or your “lack of self-control.” You won’t find help in the newest diet or workout trend. “Just eat” or “just stop eating” aren’t the solutions either. You want to feel at peace with your body and as if you have control over food and NOT the other way around. I can help you.

Have you been touched by a loss that just doesn’t seem to let you regain your balance and sense of self? Do you find yourself at a crossroads, struggling to imagine rebuilding your life without that special person who was so dear to you? Has chronic illness or a life threatening condition, either your own or that of someone central to your life, made the future harder to picture and face? We are a culture that sometimes pushes us to share and “let it all hang out”—-as long as we move on quickly and don’t make those around us uncomfortable with our struggles. Grief, loss and bereavement are intrinsic to life and need to be honored.

I’m a licensed master of social work professional certified in trauma, hospital emergency room experience who welcomes assistance with their mental help. Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, a lot of experience with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression disorder. It is always my focus to concentrate on the individual and prepare my clients with tools and coping skills that work throughout their lifetimes. I am excited to help you and make sure you are able to lead your best life.

Welcome! It takes courage to reach out and find a therapist. Maybe you have an inner dialogue that is critical, have trouble initiating things and following through, are experiencing relationship struggles or are curious about why something keeps happening even though you mean to change. Sometimes the relationship between food and body is complicated and talking about it can help you to understand more fully. Loss of identity due to a change in job, parenthood, career, sexual identity or physical illness may make you need to explore new ways of interacting with yourself and those around you.

Anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction can be enormously challenging. They are often intertwined with physical issues and can disrupt lives, including the lives of the people around them. As a therapist with over 30 years of experience I can share the good news that healing is possible when given the right care. My expertise is helping people with complex issues get strong and move beyond the their past. I offer a deeply compassionate, non-judgmental presence, so clients can feel safe, hopeful and heal. My experience as clinical director, clinician and supervisor allow me to bring you the highest level of evidenced based care.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore life’s many challenges. I work from a non-judgemental, affirming, collaborative, trauma-informed, and attachment based lens. I have experience working with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, love addiction, co-dependency, personality disorders, relationship issues, survivors of abusive relationships/trauma bonds, anger, low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, PTSD, and complex PTSD. I believe everyone is unique...therefore, my style is to customize the therapeutic process for each individual.

I am a human being, mom, wife, daughter, friend, a Spanish Bilingual/Bi-cultural Licensed Psychotherapist in this Universe. Love to help individuals, couples, families, and run groups as well. I provide brief treatment (life is too short to expend in years of therapy) Offer crisis intervention, Life Coaching, Career Development and Meditation for those who are interested in it. My client isn't only that one in emotional pain, no, my client is also that person who wants to feel much better and want to enhance every area of her/his life.
