Licensed as both a Professional Counselor and a Marriage & Family Therapist, I bring knowledge and experience from both fields into my work.
I'm proud of you. Awareness is the first step and searching for a therapist means you are already on a path to self-betterment. My role is to be a companion, someone to walk that path with you and help unlock personal insights and perspectives to improve your quality of life. Change is the unknown, so it is scary and difficult. We can become too comfortable in our routine of life, but your presence here means you are ready for the next adventure. Allow me to connect with you to fulfill my life's purpose and help you reach your full potential. You are not alone and you are cared for, even by people you haven't met yet.

HOPE is what initiates change. Imagine a life where your family was no longer defined by your child's trauma, fear, sadness, guilt, shame, or anger. What a freeing experience that would be! An individual can only be as happy as their least happy loved one- as hurt occurs within the context of relationships, so does healing. Hoping for a stable, safe, and happy family is what marks readiness for therapy. Little people with big problems may effortlessly grow into big people with bigger problems, so the critical nature of childhood and adolescence provides opportunity to shift this life trajectory.

Emotional health difficulties are like a cold, everyone gets them from time to time. However, if the cold goes on for weeks or keeps on getting worse, you should probably see a healthcare professional. This is true for our emotional health as well. If we want to be healthy, we have to take care of ourselves: body, mind and soul. Psychotherapy is medical treatment and care intended to relieve or heal the soul. It is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, healing and wholeness. I have 20 years of experience supporting and guiding clients in a variety of areas including mental health, health care, disability and family services.

I often utilize approaches based in relational-cultural therapy, interpersonal process, and Internal Family Systems.
Are you struggling to make changes in your life and maintain care and compassion for yourself? Are you having trouble with the relationships that matter to you? Helping others build their self-compassion and relational strengths is a true passion of mine. It’s a priority for me to meet my clients where they’re at, but I always work from a trauma-informed, relational, feminist-multicultural perspective. I believe that our habits, patterns, and behaviors make so much sense in the context of what we’ve experienced throughout our lives, and part of supporting our mental wellness is meeting ourselves with kindness and understanding.

A trained therapist is a neutral person who can be honest with you about your difficulties in a way that a friend or family member cannot be.
It takes great courage to go to counseling because it requires us to be vulnerable. The paradox is that it is precisely through our vulnerability that we arrive at greater joy and belonging to ourselves and to others. Let me start off by saying that counseling can really make a difference in the quality of our lives. With my clinical experience and background, I help people find their true selves and engage life from that deeper place. Things that cause us anxiety and depression are seen with proper perspective and life becomes smoother and more joyful! Hablo espanol!

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.
