Confronting the challenges that accompany our lives can be daunting and result in a deviation from the expectations we have of ourselves and those with whom we interact. I am here to assist you in the process to heighten awareness and gain more meaningful and fulfilling experiences in your life through psychotherapy. I utilize the DAFT (Depth & Freedom Therapy) approach that combines various counseling theories and techniques, philosophical tenets, and spiritual teachings to collaborate with clients in order to strengthen individual identity while considering the impact of past experiences, modern day socio-cultural influences, and current personal issues.
The services I offer address issues that interfere with a more genuine and fulfilling lifestyle including: addiction, co-dependence, family and relationship problems, symptoms associated with various Mood, Anxiety, Psychotic, and Personality Disorders, difficulties with transition, challenges acculturating, depression, anxiety, mood instability, low self-esteem, trauma, and problems communicating.
I have lived in different areas of the United States and abroad, developing meaningful connections with people from various backgrounds, learning Spanish and Portuguese along the way. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, group homes, hospitals, substance abuse treatment centers, and mental health and correctional facilities.

Co-Dependence: A Most Powerful Dictator

Develop increased awareness of the patterns that pertain to the co-dependent tendencies that are significantly interfering with your life and relationships. Learn skills in setting more effective boundaries and communicating more assertively as you alleviate doubt, build confidence, and effectively manage the pressure in response to others. Gain a stronger commitment to your own, true identity by more rigorously exploring what you want, expect, and deserve of yourself and others, while learning to more effectively free yourself from the binds of co-dependence.
