One of the most satisfying joys of being a therapist is witnessing clients moving away from their suffering and stuckness, and closer to a more satisfying, fulfilled and whole way of living. I believe that you hold the answers to your questions. Whether you're in a partnership, or individual, an adolescent or family, let's collaborate, with honesty and compassion to help you RE-connect to your wisdom, healing and bliss, allowing you to be the ultimate expert in your therapeutic journey.

Humans are social animals; we create our identities through relationships with others, as well as with ourselves. My goal is for you to successfully navigate relationships, starting with the most important one of all--the relationship you have with yourself. Through collaboration, I will help you access your inner wise person. I work with children 5 and older, adolescents, adults, elders, couples, and families. I am fluent in Spanish.

Assisting individuals, couples, and families to increase awareness of their own power to heal, sustain, and grow in response to life challenges.

Painful feelings and life experiences are difficult to work through alone. Therapy can provide the time and space for support and positive growth. Compassion for those who are struggling emotionally and trust in the innate resiliency of the body/mind are the basic tenants that inform my practice. Interweaving research-supported therapies, I facilitate strategies that help clients discover and apply tools that promote well-being. My priority is in building safe connections with clients in order to help them clarify mental health goals, move through the process of achieving them and live a more empowered, meaningful and joyful life.

I have been working with people for 30 years and look forward to helping clients create healthy relationships with me, themselves and with those in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals from all racial and cultural backgrounds who are motivated to make changes in their lives; to reduce painful reactions; and increase their understanding of what makes them feel happy, strong and self assured. I encourage clients to do homework assignments in between therapy sessions, in an effort to help clients take ownership of their process, and learn coping skills that will last beyond treatment.

Is the Past, Gender Expression, or Anxiety making choices instead of You for a full and happy life? (and not doing a very good job of it?) Are you feeling just maxed out every day; sometimes starting from the moment you wake up? Do you feel stress that overwhelms your body's capacity to cope? If so, you may be looking for a therapist like myself. I have personal and professional experiences in these areas and can understand through shared experience and collaboration how to help you get back in charge of your choices.

Everything about our lives is centered in relationship; knowing how to effectively initiate and maintain supportive, enjoyable and mutually satisfying relationships will serve us throughout our lives. But this doesn't happen without many ups and downs, some of which benefit from including a supportive, objective and helpful therapist. If you are wishing to improve your thinking, your skill in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression or trauma, living in past experiences or fearing the future, I would be honored to help.

I strongly believe that each person has the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive in all aspects of their life. Sometimes the stresses and difficulties of life can become too challenging to face on our own, and we need additional therapeutic input to navigate these obstacles and build resiliency. This can include past or present trauma, addiction, rejection, loneliness, grief, relational conflict or other struggles that continue to challenge us. I see the therapeutic relationship as a dynamic partnership between client and therapist and believe in a holistic approach to therapy encompassing mind, body, and spirit.

When times are tough and the day-to-day feels like a struggle, it can be difficult to reach out for help. You may not know where to go or what to do to make things better. You may be telling yourself that you should be able to solve whatever you are dealing with on your own. The truth is sometimes everyone needs help. I will work with you on identifying what is troubling you, and will help guide you towards health and healing. You are not alone and you do not have to struggle. I'm here to help.

We all come to points in life when we realize something needs to change. Whether you are experiencing conflict, anger, depression, stress, or loss, counseling can help. We can't always control what life throws at us, but in counseling we learn to respond in new ways to reduce suffering, increase happiness and improve our health and relationships. Counseling can reduce stress, heal trauma and loss, increase healthy connections and help life feel more managable. If you are ready to make positive changes, I would love to help you.

Many times the journey of counseling is initiated by a life crisis, when one's resources have been exhausted and it is time to gather more tools for life's tool box. It is an act of strength to reach out, not a weakness. My diverse counseling career has prepared me to work effectively with people from various walks of life. I am not a fixer, I see myself as a facilitator of change. One of my main goals as a therapist is to teach people skills needed to increase feelings of independence and empowerment.
