Finding Meaning & Healing Through Therapy: Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling to find meaning? You’re not alone. I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with warmth, compassion, and practical guidance. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families in English and Spanish, both in-person and via telehealth. My experience includes working in schools, daycares, inpatient/outpatient facilities, and community settings, allowing me to support clients from diverse backgrounds. My approach is rooted in existential psychotherapy, which means I help you:
Reflect on your life’s purpose and possibilities; understand how past experiences/trauma shape present emotions and behaviors; navigate family and relationship dynamics; build resilience and meaningful relationships; and develop practical coping skills to navigate challenges. While we can’t always control life’s circumstances, we can choose how we respond.
Through collaborative work, we will explore emotions, uncover new perspectives, and empower you to create the life and relationships you want. Lets connect! I offer a free 15-minute consultation—reach out today to begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Caminemos juntos en este proceso; con apoyo y guía, saldremos adelante.

I use the existential treatment approach. It offers the flexibility to incorporate any approach or theory that complements the client's healing process. The approach is compatible with any other theory, including humanistic, cognitive, behavioral, psychoanalytic, constructionist, and systemic therapy. The combination of approaches maximizes the effectiveness of the therapeutic process.
