Are you stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or painful relationship patterns that just won't change no matter how hard you try? I am a bilingual/bicultural (English/Spanish) therapist with 25 + years of experience in mental health including agency work, community mental health, hospital outpatient and private practice. I bring a depth of clinical knowledge that will be tailored to your needs.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and always tailored to you. I integrate evidence based practices with trauma informed, insight oriented care, drawing on decades of work with diverse populations facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, childhood trauma , sexual assault, DV, and life transitions. I welcome clients from all cultural backgrounds.
Wether you are seeking individual, couples, or family therapy, my goal is not just symptom relief, it is lasting change, genuine resilience, and a life that feels like yours again". Soy terapeuta bilingue y bicultural (Espanol/Ingles) con 25 anos de experiencia en salud mental. Ofrezco terapia individual y de pareja usando un enfoque integrativo.
