I specialize in helping women /young adults, from many races and ethnicities, work through their struggles ranging from eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues to family conflict.
You're feeling hopeless/helpless, overwhelmed, fearful, lost and looking for a safe compassionate space to explore these emotions to better understand yourself. The past 2 years have been challenging in many ways and transitioning to a new normal can feel unsettling. Difficult life transitions can lead to you feeling numb, depressed and highly anxious. You are not alone in your emotions, I provide a safe, culturally sensitive, compassionate space utilizing therapeutic techniques that are specific to your struggles to help you create lasting change.

I approach therapy from a psychodynamic perspective with an emphasis on how early trauma and attachments impact the development of our mind and body. This is different than a skills based CBT approach in that the “work” gravitates around understanding and experiencing ourselves at multiple levels, including the primal emotional and somatic levels that often lie just outside our awareness, as well as the cognitive, meaning-making aspects of ourselves.

Hey there! I'm an anxiety specialist (panic, OCD, GAD, phobias, social and more). Are you feeling exhausted by your looping anxiety? Always tense, crabby and rigid - maybe even weepy? Avoiding the people in your life or resisting a change? Perhaps you're worried about how much you're worrying or endlessly focused on your health. You're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, emotionally fried. Anxiety has obscured even the best moments of your life and you're over the limitless demands that your anxiety makes of you. You're ready to connect to the joy and meaning in your life, instead of working so hard to escape the stress and anxiety.

I believe that before a client can truly start to improve their mental health it's important to make sure certain barriers are removed and their basic needs are met. Life events, addiction and mental health, often pull us away from who we want to be. I understand how maladaptive coping, family discord, community violence, barriers to care, and other environmental and developmental stressors affect one’s physical and mental health. I utilize a person-centered approach while striving towards a welcoming, and non-judgmental environment.

As a therapist, I believe that authenticity and the therapeutic relationship are invaluable. I believe that therapy will not work if there is not a strong therapeutic alliance. I tend to be a laid back, compassionate clinician who values humor in session, but I am also not afraid to challenge you and be direct. I believe each individual is unique, therefore I do not believe there is one set way to do therapy. I value meeting individuals where they are at and learning about their strengths to help them in session. I work with adults ages 18+.

If you've ever felt broken, lost, or disconnected I'm the kind of therapist that can support you through your journey of finding lasting change. The beliefs you hold about yourself and the world, your emotions, your memories, and your habits all can influence mental and physical health. When we learn to quiet the mind and unite with the body we learn how to break free from habitual and painful ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.

I am a Latinx bilingual licensed psychologist dedicated to supporting people from diverse cultural and economic background as they cultivate their own resilience building practices. I use my experience working with patients to determine how to best facilitate the development of a healthy mind/body. The human psyche is beautifully complicated. It can create for us moments of exhilarating joy and excruciating pain. The key to maximize joy and minimize pain is very different for each individual. It is important to have a wide range of resilience building practices to draw from in order to create individualized self-care plans.

For the past 22 years I have helped traumatized, depressed or anxious clients feel safe, heard, understood and empowered. Trauma can make people feel hopeless, numb, empty and like they have lost themselves. They often resort to coping that helps them avoid or escape their emotional pain but doesn’t help them to heal or effectively manage their symptoms but they don’t know any other way. There is another way. In my gentle, compassionate, non-judgmental approach I help clients feel unconditional acceptance, support understanding and safety

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
