Throughout my career, I have enjoyed and excelled at helping to empower clients to live better more meaningful lives by helping them focus first on inner growth and self-improvement. As a Christian faith-based, bilingual and bicultural, Licensed Professional Counselor and through my private practice, my vision is to continue this movement of empowerment and self-development, by supporting client through their journey of mental, emotional and spiritual healing with the integration of clinical and Christian faith-based services. Always remember, you have the spiritual authority to heal.
I have dedicated my career as a Licensed Professional Counselor helping children, adolescents, adults and families. I have held multiple clinical positions within multiple non-profit behavioral health organizations where I have gained experience working with people with anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders.
Some areas of focus for my practice include parenting challenges, job-related stressors, communication issues, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related challenges. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where we can work together towards developing a therapy plan that will help address your mental, emotional and spiritual needs.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
