Helping people solve interpersonal conflict, whether it be parent/child, couples, or family therapy is the most rewarding aspect of my career.
I provide counseling services in either English or Spanish. In addition to the rigorous education and training therapists are required to complete, I had an additional three-year training under Joan Rousseau, LCSW, in systems theory family therapy using a strategic problem-solving model. Previously, I enjoyed five years working in the addiction field and six years working in the child welfare field. I have served as an advocate for the Spanish-speaking community since 1985, and my focus in graduate school was on bilingualism-biculturalism-Spanish/Latino. As the mother of three sons, I chose to do focused study on men's issues.

For many of us, our pains and heartaches can be felt in every aspect of our lives, physically, emotionally, mentally, behaviorally, and relationally. My experience includes assisting children, adolescents, adults, and families who are dealing with problems related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, and major life transitions. These feelings and experiences can be incredibly overwhelming, confusing, and isolating and I am passionate about helping people develop coping strategies, process painful experiences, and heal and grow so that they can live a fulfilling life.

After over 40 years of practicing psychotherapy, I've learned that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is an incredibly powerful catalyst for personal growth and healing. The core of this unique bond is trust. I focus on building trust through repeated experiences of empathy, heartfelt responses, helpful insights, shared humor, and a readiness to admit and repair mistakes. As the foundation of safety takes hold, we explore the issues that brought you into therapy. We can explore the traumas of the past that deeply disturb your sense of well-being.

I have an incredible passion for people and always have had. In my experience as a nurse and as a therapist, I have enjoyed teaching, encouraging, and creating possibilities for hope and healing. My belief is that when we feel safe enough we become more genuine and more capable of loving and living incredible lives. We laugh more, play more, rest better and have more compassion for others. My hope is that you learn to be your best self, genuine, true to yourself and to learn the art of self-care, establishing healthy boundaries and a support system regardless of a painful childhood and difficult life circumstances.

The body carries the legacy of trauma and attachment dynamics in habits of movement, posture and nervous system regulation that can keep us stuck in the past. Therapeutic engagement doesn't have to be dysregulating and overwhelming. You shouldn't leave a therapy session feeling worse than you did when you showed up. Unfortunately, traditional talk therapies can inadvertently trigger your nervous system into survival mode. If we aren't tracking and recognizing what is happening underneath the words, therapy can feel excruciating, especially if there is a history of trauma at any stage of development.

Life can be very overwhelming at times and connections with others are important. Sometimes we have difficulty connecting and overreact and don't know why. Sometimes we have unmet needs but we’re not really sure what those are. Sometimes we are in a loving relationship but we shift from closeness to distance. Sometimes we have difficulty expressing how we really feel and tend to focus on others rather than ourselves. If any of this sounds familiar therapy in a safe setting may be helpful. We all want to feel good about ourselves and our lives. Sharing our issues,needs, and goals can help to move us forward

I am an eternal optimist, and believe strongly in the method of training clients to empower themselves. I practice EMDR for anxiety and trauma processing, and use behavioral therapy for depression. My work includes coaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and I believe strongly in helping people develop self-care regimens to prioritize themselves. My focus often includes working to assist people in finding a balance between home, work, family, school, socialization, and physical health. Goal setting is an important component of therapy, so we work together to establish treatment goals that are reasonable and attainable.

When you've been walking along in life, doing the best you can, and it seems your best is never good enough. You're either letting yourself down or disappointing someone you care about. Regardless, the things around you just aren't going like they're supposed to. There's a statement that goes "not bad enough to leave, and not good enough to stay." Life isn't horrible and it's not great, it's just meh. And you're getting kind of tired of meh.

Interpersonal Therapists
Is interpersonal therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found interpersonal therapy to be effective for life transitions including retirement, divorce, and job loss. Also, some studies have found it to be just as useful as medication and other therapy approaches. The benefits of interpersonal therapy can last long after treatment has been completed; the individual can use the tenets of this therapy throughout their life.
How long does interpersonal therapy take?
Interpersonal psychotherapy is normally time-limited and focuses on specific problems in the client’s everyday relationships. Treatment can be either one-on-one or take place in a group setting; it tends to last 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the individual client’s needs. If a new interpersonal problem arises in the future, the client may require additional therapy to address it specifically. The timeline and session schedule may vary depending on the client’s challenges as well as their progress. Treatment may conclude with wrap-up sessions to review the client’s accomplishments.
Is interpersonal therapy effective?
Research shows that interpersonal therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of conditions such as depression or anxiety. The approach may also offer a range of benefits that are hard to measure but valuable—including healthier relationships and improved feelings of self-worth. The therapist will give the client practical solutions that can be put into practice. The brief duration of this therapy also means that clients can see changes in their relationships fairly quickly.
What are the limitations of interpersonal therapy?
Interpersonal therapy may not effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as psychosis, chronic illness, or alcohol relapse. Because it is short-term in nature, it may not be the best approach for conditions that need to be tracked, though maintenance sessions are a viable approach under these circumstances.
Can interpersonal psychotherapy be done online?
Yes, interpersonal psychotherapy can be conducted effectively either in-person or online. A therapist with expertise in IPT will be able to adjust their techniques, such as role-playing, to better suit the online environment. Offering online IPT can make it more accessible for clients who have transportation difficulties; it also provides the ideal opportunity to explore challenges unique to digital relationships.
