Tired of figuring it out on your own? Counseling could be an important next step in your life-a new journey into greater health. I see my role as an expert guide to bring understanding into your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I'll explore your history to facilitate a greater awareness of how your past affects the present. Because life is often played out in the context of relationships; these emotions, thoughts, and behaviors not only impact your view of self, but also the world around you. I have an eclectic approach to therapy drawing from over 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples.

I believe wholeness consists of 4 intertwined areas of health: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. My desire is to assist you in achieving and thriving at your greatest potential. What is keeping you from being who you were designed to be? Maybe you've hit a few bumps in the road and have lost your footing or your path. Maybe its a lot of bumps, or maybe they are hills or even mountains. It is in those seasons we need a fresh set of eyes, renewed inspiration, and motivational encouragement to help us get back on track.

Our modern culture sets an accelerated external rhythm, As a therapist, I have observed that this rhythm has contributed to higher levels of stress, which has fueled increasing levels of depression, anxiety and loss of connection in relationship. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, racing thoughts, panic, burnout, loneliness and isolation. Using a framework of CBT, I partner with individuals to help them challenge negative messages of worry and self-doubt. In working with couples my goal is to help create emotional intimacy and maturity in relationship. I collaborate with clients in developing growth and optimal functioning.

You may have spent most of your life adapting to the needs of others until somewhere along the way, you lost connection with yourself. Maybe you're the helper, the peacekeeper, or the one everyone depends on. Or perhaps you've always felt different, overwhelmed by sensory input, emotionally exhausted from masking, or questioning whether you're autistic, have ADHD, or neurodivergent. I have a special passion for supporting Hispanic and Latina women, women of color, neurodivergent individuals, and couples as they reconnect with themselves, navigate cultural and family expectations, and build healthier, authentic relationships.

Another fight? Another ugly stare? Another slammed door? I get it. Right now, the negative interactions probably seem to outweigh the positive ones. Or maybe, there is daily tension, anger, or resentment that continues to build causing long silences, avoidance, or loud and heated exchanges. It is possible to create the relationship you truly desire by making small, daily changes based on a realistic understanding of where you are and where you want to be. Stop running in circles and getting the same results. With time, practice, and a little patience, you will take control AND enjoy life.

If you long for freedom, authentic connection, and true inner peace—a life where you can finally breathe, show up as your real self, and feel deeply seen by God, others, and yourself—this is the healing I offer. The weight of trauma, attachment wounds, grief, addiction recovery, or generational patterns brings anxiety, emotional overwhelm, strained relationships, or spiritual disconnection. I see how heavy this feels. You deserve a safe space to uncover root causes, regulate emotions, and heal holistically. Together, we can break old cycles, deepen your faith if it calls you, and step into wholeness and lasting transformation.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
