Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC
Raleigh, NC 27612
Challenges come in all different walks of life, shapes, and sizes. It's the universal one thing everyone must deal with. As a therapist, I try to help my clients develop the skills to be able to deal with whatever challenges they may face with courage, dignity, and the strength to know that eventually they will overcome these challenges. For many these challenges include debilitating depression, intense anxiety, fractured communication skills, trauma, substance abuse, or any combination of those. Although admitting the need and asking for help may be hard, the skills developed in therapy can definitely be worth it.

I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) therapist with a passion for supporting children, teens and women through life’s challenges.
Are you having trouble balancing day to day stressors? You compare yourself to those who seem to be handling it so perfectly. But, on the inside you find yourself unable to keep up and feeling exhausted by it all.

I support kids, adults, and couples navigating conflict, disconnection, and family stress, particularly when relationships feel strained or “not enough
When you're stuck in painful patterns—like self-doubt, relationship struggles, or unhealed wounds from the past—it can affect every part of your life. You might find it hard to connect with others, trust yourself, or feel at ease in your own skin. Setting boundaries may feel impossible, and you might carry the weight of responsibilities that were never yours to begin with. Over time, this emotional heaviness can lead to anxiety, sadness, fear, or a sense of being lost. When everything feels too tangled or too heavy to hold alone, it’s hard to know where to start.

Child Therapists
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
