I would like to provide you with the help and support needed to make the changes in your life that you deem important. My style of therapy is client centered and collaborative which allows for a unique therapeutic experience.

I am a licensed psychologist/psychoanalyst with over 20 years of practice in psychotherapy and body/mind approaches. If you experience trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship problems, I am dedicated to helping you. I'll work with you on becoming aware of unresolved issues that limit your choices and freedom in life by attending carefully to your narrative and experience. Emphasis is on an exploration of your issues, and on the therapeutic relationship. In addition, our group has a team of experts/clinicians who are trained in a variety of approaches and issues.

I believe that positive reinforcement and approach in life can help people with individual and interpersonal challenges. I specialize in Marriage and Family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression and anger management. I am a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, where I expand my professional expertise (in addition to my clinical work) to optimize therapeutic services provided to my patients.

I am an Indigenous (Laguna Pueblo) and Filipina therapist working with clients with histories of trauma, grief and loss, and establishing and growing healthy relationships. When you work with me, I allow you to set the tone of our therapy journey. Together, we explore what is the concern bringing you in and how you’d like it to be different in the future. Once we know where we’ve come from and where we are going, we can explore how we get there.

Current openings as of May 2024 for in-person or zoom. A life well-lived is a creative process, and I help those I work with to realize their own talents and potential, even in times of major distress. Some look for short-term support during a time of loss or uncertainty. Others get into deeper work to address older wounds and patterns. Maybe you just need to talk and see what happens. Whatever your situation, it's your life, and I would focus on what works for you.

It can be hard to find a therapist who really feels right for you! Let's arrange a consultation to discover together whether we might be a good fit. I will work with you to uncover old outmoded patterns that stand in the way of change, as together we build the moment-to-moment awareness that you need to begin to feel different and behave differently. Whether you are interested in individual, couples or group therapy(see group info. below), I can help you gain experiential insight to change your life for the better!

I work with clients to identify their most important areas for personal growth, develop plans for change, and enact that plan; by matching the therapy to the client, ensuring that every client develops tools and strategies to tackle their own personal challenges and life transitions.. My approach includes influences from yoga, drama, music, and art.

Welcome to a space where your uncertainties find understanding and your journey is met with warmth. I'm dedicated to creating a safe space where you can relax, express, and thrive. My mission is to help you navigate the twists and turns of life with empathy and understanding, embracing challenges as opportunities for self-development.

I work with individuals from all walks of life who are experiencing family issues, dealing with past trauma, navigating gender identity, work stress, and general life challenges. I also have experience working with clients who have struggled with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, and PTSD.

Good therapy guides you to a more secure relationship with yourself and with the world around you, so that you can reconnect with a sense of meaning and immediacy in life. I help people to improve emotional awareness which leads to better relationships, less anxiety, and more resilience. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, grief/loss, and relationship issues.

We can get to points in our lives when we feel disconnected and stuck. Embarking on the journey of therapy can help you to break free of your patterns. I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and low self esteem. People come to me when they are going through a transition or ready to make a change. Through a holistic approach in psychotherapy we can work together creatively to help you make a change or gain understanding.

Do you feel stuck in the same old situation? Are you unsatisfied in (or out of) a relationship? Disappointments and obstacles happen in life, but you don't have to remain stuck. I work with individuals and couples to reconnect with their spontaneity and to discover a full range of creative choices towards a richer, more engaged life. Therapy must be a safe place to talk about difficulties, but to open up new possibilities, therapy must also be experiential.

I deeply believe in every individual's potential to grow, change, and solve problems. Using several approaches to tailor therapy to each client, we work together to achieve more self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. This team effort is applied to best cultivate the most effective and efficient ways to reach all goals.

You are bright, but you often don't know what you want out of life. You find yourself sad, lonely, sometimes rageful, and often without love. You are not alone. I understand the desire for control, and to 'know what to do.' I understand the fear that nothing will change. But you can change, as many have, and I can help.

Are you struggling with: effective, respectful communication with your partner; trauma recovery; difficulty setting limits or establishing boundaries; repeating unhealthy patterns of thinking, behavior, or emotion; identifying your needs and getting your needs met; day-to-day state of anxiety, anger, fear, or sadness; a difficult life transition. Have you been in therapy before, but didn’t achieve the change you were hoping for? Somatic Relational Therapy might be for you. We can’t think or talk our way out of trauma. We live in a body, and we experience suffering and trauma in our bodies, and it is through our body that we heal.

It is a huge feat to have arrived at a place where you are ready to start therapy. Even taking that first step in looking for help says a lot about who you are and how you are prioritizing yourself in this moment. I would be honored to be able to join you in your journey of self-discovery, self-actualization, and acknowledgment of all you have accomplished up until this point. I will help you find understanding of your place in the world and help you create a calm environment for yourself.

Finding the right therapist can be a tough and even daunting experience. It's difficult to tell if a therapist is right for you based simply on a blurb and a photo. I don't claim to know that we'll be a perfect fit but if I believe I can help you, I'll tell you. If not, I'll refer you to someone who I think can. I regard myself as a warm and compassionate therapist who is supportive as well as direct and challenging when required. I am passionate about my work and find it fulfilling and energizing.
