I work with issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, recovery, family, couples, divorce, pre-marital counseling, and existential issues.
We all struggle in life but sometimes no matter how hard we try, we don’t seem to be able to get out of it on our own. Are you looking for someone who will center on what your needs are? Do you want to find out about how therapy can improve your quality of life? Then give me a call. I have over twenty years of experience, and I specialize in people reduce the distress and be happier. I have been a therapist abroad as well as in the US so I know how adaptation to change can be challenging.

I am a first-generation, Latinx, Mexican American female. As someone who has struggled, fought, and overcome, I consider it a privilege to assist others in finding their way through their journey. I am a dancer, an artist, a creator, a mother, a wife, a survivor, a counselor, and a Ph.D. student in marriage and family therapy- aspects that assist me in the creative connection that I believe therapy to be. Counseling is an art form in that a person is given permission to gain access to what is most personal, private, and possibly broken within.

Together we will consider your family and cultural background, your values and beliefs, the narratives you have created about your life and your relationships, and how all of this can impact the way you navigate the world.
Are you struggling to come to terms with your sexual or gender identity? Do you find that you have more questions than answers about who you are and who you love lately? Maybe you need validation that who you are is who you are meant to be. Perhaps you are looking for someone to talk to about your sexual traumas, interests or desires, or you and your partner are struggling in your sexual or emotional relationship. Whatever your situation is, my empathetic and affirming approach can help you explore these questions and more in depth.

I have over 7 years of experience treating those struggling with depression, trauma-related disorders, anxiety related disorders, mood disorders to include bipolar disorder, relationship issues, self-esteem, suicide/self-harm, and systematic family conflict to include parenting issues.
My clients would describe me as easy to talk to, a great listener, honest, and informed. I find great value in creating a foundation of trust and comfortability so my clients can work to meet their therapeutic goals. Counseling is most effective when the client feels accepted and believes the therapist genuinely cares about the topics discussed during session. It is a privilege to be a part of one's journey to improve, change, or maintain aspects in their life. I truly care about each of my client's health and well-being.

There is not a specific type of therapeutic style or approach that works for everyone: age, ethnicity, all of this may play a part into stressors and how we cope with them. Therefore, the services are built around the individuals or family needs, focusing on strengths and values. I believe there is nothing we can’t overcome and the first step is seeking the help. Therapy is about acquiring the tools we need when faced with adversity. If you’re reading this, then you’re already on your way to change. Life is full of challenges, struggles, and stressful situations. WE have all been there before.

Many of us deal with the stigma of what therapy means based on our family or cultural background. As a result, most of us end up traveling life without seeking therapy. As we grow, we ultimately arrive at a cross road in life where we feel stuck and unsure about what life choices we need to make. Making the decision to enter therapy is complicated and it takes courage to follow through with treatment. Finding the right therapist can also be overwhelming, and I thank you for taking the time to consider working with me as you embark on your therapeutic process.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
