I’m grateful to have this opportunity to connect with you. The therapeutic process is a sacred journey. Here we can share in a safe, non-judgmental place. If we have suffered addiction, anxiety, depression or trauma we can uncover the aspects of ourselves that need healing. The quality of our lives is directly connected to the quality of our relationships - with ourselves and with others. When our relationships are suffering, everything is impacted. For that reason, in our therapy sessions we explore whatever is unfolding in your relationships and we discover how to bring awareness and skill to these crucial connections.

I work collaboratively with adults and couples facing anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma. I also teach yoga and meditation and understand the role the body plays in holding trauma and chronic stress contributing to a disconnect between the mind/body. I am passionate about health and nutrition and believe that lifestyle has a strong impact on mood as do our thoughts and behaviors. I believe that it's universal to feel anxious, bad, stuck, and out of balance and to struggle through big and small life transitions. By being open about what's not working, we can use awareness and make small shifts that have lasting impact.

Many people I work with skillfully adapted to the trials of life. On the outside, you may appear 'high-functioning,' yet privately, you might carry a persistent sense of emptiness, shame, doubt or alienation. You may find yourself on autopilot, in familiar, unfulfilling roles at work or in love—longing for validation and connection that seem hard to hold onto. If you find yourself stuck in cycles of merely coping or feeling like you have to 'fix' yourself to be okay, you are not alone. My work is grounded in the belief that you don’t need fixing; rather reclaim the parts of yourself that have been silenced by pressure to function.

I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as a guiding flexible framework which often leads to more Mindfulness and Jungian (shadow work) type sessions as we develop a relationship.
Clients find my particular approach to therapy to be a casual directness that is personable and practical but does not shy away from the emotional difficulties often involved in pursuing self-reflection or achieving true movement in their lives. People come to me when they are ready to take a closer examination of themselves and their circumstances; gaining clarity and insight into their emotions, sense of self, values, and a deeper sense of what matters to them and what to do about it.

Treatment modalities include: Jungian analysis, developmental theory, dream work, breath work, dream journaling, writing and art therapy.
Coming from Mexican-American heritage, I recognize the role heritage plays in shaping our lives. I work with people to bring them more in tune with this aspect of themselves and offer an opportunity for you to know your interior, psychic life by engaging with what Jung described as the “dynamic” unconscious. The unconscious references those parts split off from our conscious selves, yet these play an active role in our awakened life, influencing our thoughts, emotional states, and behaviors. I have dedicated the majority of my life working with and from this regenerative inner resource Jung calls psyche, enriching lived experience.

I work with people who want to deeply understand themselves, create more meaningful connections with others, and learn new ways of coping with pain and life's challenges. Many people seek therapy because they are dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD and the effects of trauma, and relationship challenges. But often, those are broad terms for more subtle issues—dissatisfaction, stuckness, loneliness, feeling lost, or experiencing difficult feelings about oneself or others. Whatever your specific concern, therapy can promote growth, change, and more freedom in your life.

Jungian Therapists
How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
