For over 20 years I have been involved in the mental health system, and have had the privilege of helping individuals & families achieve their goals and overcome a variety of challenges (i.e. depression, anxiety, mood disorders, new transitions, relational, & substance abuse struggles). While speaking both English & Spanish languages, my hope is that each individual that I encounter will gain a better understanding of themselves, and also learn valuable skills to move forward towards a more fulfilling and flourishing life---to be able to find 'Peace of Mind'--within themselves and within their surroundings.
I work with individuals & families from various cultural backgrounds, & my passion is working with adolescents, adults, & families. I have worked with many experiencing a variety of challenges with the hopes of obtaining 'Peace of Mind'. Additionally, I have experience in a school setting, CJ System, & am a Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor.
I am aware that seeking support and change is a big step, and can be scary---yet, it is a fulfilling venture! We all have something to learn, and parts of ourselves that need exploring. I'd love to walk along side you on your new journey in finding 'Peace of Mind'. I look forward to having you achieve that, and helping you be your best self!
