Finding the right counselor is indeed an important step to helping you move in the right direction towards health. As a counselor, I see myself not as someone who has all of life's answers but rather as someone who can walk with you on the journey towards achieving your own goals of health. This collaborative process involves working together to help you grow and overcome the issues that are blocking the roads of life. I enjoy working with a broad range of patients and my areas of focus include, Depression, Anxiety, Couples and Marital Counseling, Familial Relationships, Addictions, Sexuality, Identity Issues and Adjustment Disorders.

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist with extensive experience treating trauma, disrupted childhood attachment, anxiety, and depression in school-aged children, adolescents, and young adults. I believe that the road to healing requires support, acceptance, and trust; therefore, I strive to provide a safe and collaborative environment where my clients feel free to explore their thoughts and emotions. My goal is to help and guide my clients and their families while providing extensive feedback, psychoeducation, and therapy.

To the outside world, you seem to have it altogether. You’ve chased your dreams and found success. You’ve been working so hard to meet your goals, but it’s gotten to the point where you feel depleted, drained, stuck. You've been dedicating so much of your time and energy to meeting everyone's expectations and their needs, that you are left with nothing for yourself. All the stress and pressures of upholding this persona is exhausting and you're done. Something's got to change, but you don't know what or how. Let's make yourself the priority for a change. You can be free of the chains that bind you and enjoy the life you've built.

As a therapist, I feel bringing a nurturing and non-judgmental approach when working with different situations and encouraging strength and personal growth is important for therapeutic relationships. Most of my experience involves behavioral work such as defiance in children; teen issues, adult issues, anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, attachment issues, relationship issues, and family issues. I believe all behavior has a purpose and finding what is motivating the behavior is how we learn to manage difficult situations. Together, we explore avenues towards personal growth and emotional healing.

Do you feel stuck? Disconnected from yourself and everyone around you? Do you find yourself hiding from everything because it feels too exhausting to do anything more than basic functioning? Are you taking care of everyone else and neglecting yourself? Do you worry about EVERYTHING and constantly question every choice you make or thought you have? Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you wondering if you will ever be good enough? These are just some of the things we experience when our mental health is out of balance. You are not alone.

It takes courage to address the loneliness, heartache, fear and confusion we face as humans. I offer space for a person to untangle their hurt and confusion and address their messy emotions. I believe our stories matter. Our life experiences shape us. No one escapes suffering. Life is hard. Everyone has experienced a broken heart and shattered dreams. Experiences of abuse, rejection, and trauma contort the soul. Our soul responds to self, God and others with these contorted relational patterns that connect or sabotage relationships. Soul contortions are addressed with compassion and respect as we journey towards restoration.

Whatever the reason or goal in counseling, whether for couples therapy or individual counseling; for yourself, an adolescent, a friend, or even a family member: I'm here to help.
