I enjoy working with a variety of people, especially those that are ambivalent about therapy. I understand that therapy is an extremely difficult process and stigmatized for many of those around us, but developing a strong therapeutic relationship can assist in providing a positive experience during a difficult time. I like to identify the root of the problem quickly and together find solutions that will work for your life. I believe together we can work towards building insight, understanding yourself and your choices, develop positive coping skills, increased communication and healthy relationships.
As a bilingual, Spanish and English, speaking therapist I enjoy working with children/adolescents, parents, couples and multigenerational families. For the last few years I have worked with individuals in intimate partner violent relationships, domestic violence, past and recent traumas and adult men and women.
As a bi-cultural, certified Trauma-Focused CBT, licensed clinician with a doctorate in marriage and family therapy, I tend to work in an eclectic manner and believe the best way to produce change is by creating a safe and contained environment. A safe therapeutic relationship includes having a trusting and non-judgmental relationship with your therapist.

I have 13 years of experience working with minors and adults process past experiences and develop a joy for life again. Something I emphasize to new clients is that what is most healing will be having a positive relationship with your therapist, it is ok to shop around until you find a good fit.

The initial sessions are rapport building, then we delve deeply into the issues at hand and try to uncover the root of the problem. At which point, we start to process it in order to make minor changes that will lead to long term positive effects. I am here to help with those difficult conversations, provide different perspectives and support you every step of the way. Change doesn't happen alone.
