My practice specializes in creating a compassionate space for personal growth and healing for clients navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship, work-life balance, loss, and identity exploration. Clients can expect a supportive, judgment-free environment where goals are driven by a desire for positive change, self-discovery, and coping strategy development. When starting on your therapy path with me, you can expect a genuine commitment to your whole well-being.

I have over 30 years of counseling experience helping those with various addictions and other serious mental health issues and their families. These conditions can also be co-occurring and significantly impair an individual's life as well as those around them. My approach to therapy is very solution focused and taps into the individual's strengths in order to help them with their weaknesses. This process occurs in an environment that is supportive yet challenging. The road to recovery is an exciting journey of renewed mental, physical, and spiritual health. May your journey to recovery begin today.

I assist people to increase self-esteem and a sense of what's possible, personally and professionally. I also assist people in letting go of bad habits, limiting beliefs and to recover from traumatic types of experiences. This allows for greater motivation to do necessary tasks and important projects. As a person lets go of ideas about themselves that have negatively affected how they feel about themselves and also perceptions of how others felt about them, growth happens in every area of their life. I use a combination of Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming and for those interested, spiritual principles.

As a therapist, I feel it is most important for a client to feel heard, safe, cared for, and understood by the therapist they choose. I believe that when a client experiences this level of comfort with their therapist, that is when the most positive changes occur. I enjoy working with motivated clients who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives. I support my clients with patience, guidance, empathy, and understanding throughout each unique journey.

As a mental health counselor and coach, I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I believe being a therapist who utilizes evidence-based practices to help clients overcome a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

Trouble making decisions? Feeling low? Anxious? If you are hoping that doubling your morning joe is going to give you the kick you need to drag yourself through today, then I know what you are going through.

Do you wake up each morning feeling excited and enthusiastic in anticipation the day ahead? Or do you find yourself feeling depressed, uninspired, anxious or just unfulfilled? Are you suffering from long-term Narcissistic abuse? We are influenced by our life experiences, some of these lead to inaccurate, limited beliefs about ourselves. Once you learn to identify and understand these beliefs, life changes. The path to happiness and wholeness involves getting to know your true self, transcending your perspective and embracing your highest potential and purpose. When you change your state of mind, you change your state of being.

My passion is to help individuals understand their experiences and struggles. Clients can expect a holistic integration of science and traditional approaches to promote a more balanced, vision-centered, and organized life. I enjoy helping clients produce a more productive life, reduce anxiety and depression, while helping them recognize and take control of their undesired hurts, habits, and hangups. As a Latino, I understand the acculturation process that immigrants experience and bring a balanced approach and insight.

I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative effort between the therapist, the individual, and the larger relational system. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that in every individual, couple, and family is the capacity for meaningful change and healing. I provide individualized care to each of my clients and carefully consider the context in which symptoms are experienced.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in neuropsychological, educational, and developmental evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. I offer comprehensive evaluations that provide valuable information about barriers to a child's success, identify gifts and strengths, and clarify diagnoses. With this knowledge, I am able to identify school-based, home-based and therapeutic interventions that families can put into place to help children overcome challenges...and thrive! Serving as a long-term partner with you, I provide support beyond the evaluation to help your child receive the services that they need.

I get it, asking for help can be one of the most scary things you do. It is normal to think: “Do I really need help? Will I just be misunderstood and be told what to do?” When we are feeling at our worst, it is hard to imagine that people won’t run away if we lay our problems down on them. It doesn’t have to be like this forever. Feeling energized, in control and on top of your life is possible with the right support. Therapy is a journey of self discovery where you become more aware of the influences that shaped you, and how you can make better choices to live a more connected life.
