Traumas often affect our day-to-day ways of coping and I don't believe that we should have to stay stuck in those ways of living. I am trained in EMDR by an EMDRIA-certified Basic Trainer and can use this modality of healing for many issues. Struggling with chronic illness issues and caretaking are under stress? Feeling depression and anxiety around a diagnosis or experiencing anticipatory grief? Are you an individual or couple seeking a (Spanish/English) bilingual therapist to understand and explore cross-cultural coupledom? You may be a new parent who needs help and support as you navigate your new family configuration.

I relate to people by listening empathically and paying attention to details. I can say the difficult truths as well as be there for you when you come to your truth. Building trust in the therapy experience is my highest priority. I am a strength and trauma-informed therapist and I love working with people needing hope as they make changes to thrive.

We all desire to be loved and seen. How we operate as adults and in our relationships can be affected by our experience of that. Becoming aware of our hurts and scars in therapy can help us heal going forward. I accept people as they are and appreciate the unique adaptions that helped them survive life’s tough situations, but I want to help you thrive.

When we start therapy we're building rapport and trust as we uncover the issues that affect your which helps me understand why you've come to therapy. That helps us decide what type of therapy might work best for you. I'll explain some of the modalities that I use and how I believe they can help you feel better about your present issues and even identify future goals for your growth and life.
