I use a variety of models in my therapy work, including behavioral, solution focused and family-based orientations.
Our lives can be filled with so many obstacles and challenges on a daily basis. Whether these challenges are personal, family, work or peers, we sometimes need to get additional perspectives and clarity on some of life's most pressing issues. I view therapy as a way for clients to seek personal growth and find helpful solutions moving forward. I use humor, compassion and unconditional support to help individuals, couples and families work through a variety of presenting issues. My goal is to help clients resolve the main problem in therapy and help them gain additional strengths and insights in their lives.

Through use of Cognitive Behavioral, DBT and Solution Focused therapy, I work to empower my clients with tools and insights needed to deal with their current and future problems.
With each stage in life, we are faced with new challenges. Sometimes new challenges may be too difficult to deal with alone and other times, we carry old problems with us. In order to live a happier, healthier life, we need to address those problems head on. With years of experience as a high school teacher and now as a counselor, I have experience working with adolescent problems, divorce or separation, foster and adoption, loss, cultural challenges, and coping skills. I have worked with clients that only speak Spanish and am accepting of all sexual orientations. My goal is to provide a safe, judgement-free space for you.
