With over 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I work with clients from ages 12 - adult. I provide individual, couples and family counseling. I use different elements of many therapeutic models, and I will work with you to design a treatment plan that addresses your individual needs. My approach is interactive, working at a pace that is comfortable for you. Seeking help can be a daunting task, and oftentimes it is difficult to reach beyond the problem and put your trust in someone to work through the process. It takes courage to attempt change. But, like everything, it starts with taking the first step.

I truly understand what it is like to grow up in a broken home, to have a blended family, and also what it takes to work each and every day to have a “happy and successful” marriage.
I was born in Colombia and moved to the United States at a young age, where I became bilingual in Spanish and English. As a first generation immigrant, I quickly learned and understood the challenges many of us can face. Also, at a young age my parents divorced and like many households, a lot changed for us. Our roles and responsibilities were different, my weekends were spent at “my second home”; and unfortunately I experienced 'parental alienation' by both parents.

People are occasionally presented with circumstances that tax their ability to effectively cope with life's challenges. A central aspect to helping clients is my belief in the unique qualities and strengths of each person. In a warm and empathic environment these core strengths can be drawn out, amplified and enlisted to solve their problems and meet life challenges. The goal is to help people enhance understanding and develop new skills that create a sense of competence, balance and well being. This process provides the foundation for personal growth and positive change in one's life.

I've always thought that life is extraordinarily beautiful, but also exceedingly difficult and even brutal at times. As a therapist, my goal is to make the therapeutic process comfortable, meaningful, and productive. I've worked with all walks of life, but I think the kinds of people who might benefit the most from my services are those that are looking to gain insight and use that insight to create lasting change. My approach is simple, 50% bottom up - How did we get here? & 50% top down - What can we do about it? Over time, we'll work to put the pieces together, establish a plan of action, and create hope for a better tomorrow.

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.
