Well, hello. I am glad you decided to meet. Let me pour you some tea or coffee and let’s discuss what is on your mind. Sometimes it can be pretty difficult to seek out help. Especially for those who either thought they didn’t need it or were convinced that their issues are manageable. That often occurs with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Regardless, you took the first step, as difficult as it may have been. As a next step I want to work with you and build trust. Once that has been established and you feel comfortable, we can address the items that cause you concern.

The recent years have been exceptionally stressful and full of anxiety for many of us. We can all use therapeutic support to navigate life's transitions, family issues, medical illness, and also grief (to name a few). Having a safe space to process our innermost thoughts and feelings can be a big first step in working towards change. My main goal in treatment is to create a space where clients can be their true selves, express their true feelings, and gain true insight.

All psychological issues are ultimately existential in origin, entailing a confrontation with death, loss, meaning, purpose and value. All that we do (knowingly or unknowingly) is dedicated to deciphering these daunting and irrepressible demands of existence. Few are successful in resolving or even clearly conceptualizing these existential issues and their minds inevitably descend into despair, depression and anxiety. Some seek to assuage their suffering with psychoactive substances (illicit and licit) and this leads only to addiction and abdication of autonomy over one's authentic self. My System offers a solution.

2020 has been a tough year as we face this challenging time in our history. We’ve had to grapple with the longevity of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the uncertainty it brings. Challenges, which are further confounded by a complicated and divisive political climate make this a time of grief, trauma, loss, and difficult transitions for many. Physical distancing measures, forced adoption of new technology, and disruption of our routines, though necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, bring additional struggles with preventing isolation, remaining engaged with social supports, and coping with stress and anxiety. Please talk with a provider if you are finding yourself overwhelmed or if you are experiencing changes in sleeping, eating, or irritability, whether or not your challenges can be explained by current situations We have immediate openings for therapy and medication management appointments.

La vida es una cadena de transiciones que muchas veces a las personas se nos hace un poco complicado sobrellevar o resolver. Y aunque los cambios nos dan la oportunidad de crecimiento, es muy cierto que estos mismos cambios nos traen mucha angustia y desequilibrio emocional. Yo puedo ayudarte a descubrir y desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para que puedas mantenerte enfocado(a) en lo que es la prioridad para ti y para todos aquellos que te rodean durante estos procesos naturales de transición.

We sometimes feel overwhelmed, lost and alone. We can struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship/ marital issues, sexual assault, imposter syndrome, trauma and grief or loss. At times we use negative/hurtful coping strategies and develop unhealthy behavior patterns. Fortunately, sometimes we realize we are stuck and need help. My office is a shame-free zone. I provide a warm, engaged, compassionate and safe space for you to address your concerns comfortably and openly. I practice culturally informed psychotherapy using a holistic approach and am committed to normalizing the need for and benefits of therapy.

Waitlist for new clients
Are you a young adult experiencing anxiety, depression, or OCD? Life after high school, during college, and after college can be stressful and high pressure, as are the huge decisions that come with it. I call these “life transitions” and they can often exacerbate mood symptoms and open up old wounds. Has the COVID pandemic or a recent health concern exacerbated anxiety and obsessive thinking about health issues? We can work together to find ways to make peace with normal body sensations and find ways to feel more calm about things that are out of your control. Or, perhaps you'll stare directly in the sun but never in the mirror :)
