I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD and ADHD. I also specialize in working with children who have been diagnosed with Autism.

Childhood through adolescence can be a challenging time, due to this, children often need additional guidance, as well as someone they can trust/ build rapport with.

My goal as a therapist is to come alongside you as you navigate life's challenges and help you to build the skills you need to make changes that have a positive impact on your life and day to day functioning.

My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the belief that every individual is unique and cannot be defined by a single diagnosis. Together, we will embark on a journey toward holistic wellness, focusing on you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. As we collaborate on your treatment, we'll craft personalized goals aimed at helping you connect with your authentic self. Life's transitions, whether exhilarating, intimidating, or overwhelming, are moments for growth, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

I enjoy the process of helping my clients, besides my vocation, it is my passion and I have been in the social work field for more than a decade. Through online therapy I have had the opportunity to help people both near and far from me. It's time that the fact of going to therapy stopped being stigmatized, so one of my goals is that the client feels comfortable during the process. Telling how we feel does not make us weak, on the contrary, it is the first and most important step to feel better, that is why at One Alkaline Life we have always focused on offering you the best to accompany you in your learning process.

As a counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, OCD, behavioral issues, ADHD, insomnia, TBI, and memory challenges, I'm here to empathetically listen and support you on your journey. I value clients who are motivated to engage in a collaboration, aiming to cultivate self-regulation and coping skills that can enhance their daily lives. I seek clients who are posed for positive transformation but may lack the necessary tools. I am drawn to those who share an eagerness to enhance both cognitive functioning and emotional regulation, driven by a desire to be a better person, spouse, parent, sibling or supportive person to others.
