By utilizing new coping skills and building a therapeutic alliance, we can work other to overcome those previously insurmountable waves of life.

Studies show women attend counseling nearly 2-1 versus men. That said men, understandably, have cultivated a natural and valid discomfort for talking out issues, with the legitimate fear of being harshly judged or just truly not heard. Well, I’d like to help men who find counseling uncomfortable. You see, Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in America. And, Middle-Age Men have the highest rate of suicide making up nearly 70% of those total numbers. I’m here, to help those men that want to find help, and need to truly be heard. As far as my approach, I’m a combination of holistic and realistic.

"During difficult times I teach people how to better manage their lives and how to avoid feeling victimized by outside circumstances. I establish rapport easily with people and accept people exactly where they are. I create a safe, trusting environment in which a therapeutic relationship can develop. Counseling is an opportunity to learn new skills which may include: improving self-esteem, setting boundaries, making healthy decisions, managing stress and anxiety. As a person begins to have a healthier relationship with themselves, it allows them to take ownership of their life and manage it more productively. "

Mindful, gentle, supportive, intuitive. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, and frustration or find yourself turning to unhealthy behaviors for relief and escape from uncomfortable feelings. You may also be struggling to be free of the devestating effects of past trauma. Or you may have a knowing that there is a freer, stronger, and more joyful you that has just seemed to remain out of reach, despite your good efforts. Through mindfulness attention and somaticwareness, that which was previously "in the way" becomes our doorway to healing, clarity, peace, joy, and the ability to realize our personal and life goals.

Tengo muchos años trabajando en español y me siento muy conectada con gente de la comunidad Latina. Todos necesitamos alguien que nos comprendan, valoren y apoyen.

I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

I suppose every client is the "ideal" in the sense that each person brings a unique story worthy of dignity, grace, and respect. By the time a person walks into my office, he/she is usually exhausted, confused, empty, and/or feeling hopeless and alone. Not all, but many of the folks I see want to be known, understood, and accepted. Most believe the lie that "if people really knew me, what I think about, what I've done, or what's been done to me, they would not love me, accept me or want me their lives." I enjoy helping people experience the freedom grace can give and the hope it has to offer.

You’re doing your best given your circumstances, awareness, & resources. Growth, and a fulfilling, meaningful life is possible when the conditions work for your unique needs. If you have ADHD/Autism, relationship, medical, or identity issues, anxiety, depression, or trauma, you may want your life back- or to feel "normal” for once. From the heavy depths of despair to the bubbly heights of playfulness, what makes life absurd, beautiful, & tragic will be acknowledged, not ignored. “Weird” celebrated, not shamed. I’ll help you embrace the unknown, adapt to change, & move forward.

Do you struggle to say "no" to people? Do you feel guilty when you do? Do you feel pressure to make others happy while never getting what you need? Do you stay in bad relationships for too long? Do you feel stuck relationally, emotionally, or in your career path? There are explanations for this behavior and ways to change it. I love helping people learn how to have healthy boundaries with others, their work, or some other habit they are concerned about. If you want to understand yourself better and possibly learn to make healthier choices based on your values, I would love to work with you.
