Are you tired of feeling like the weight of depression and anxiety is holding you back from living your life to the fullest? Do you find yourself grappling with the unique challenges that come with being a part of the LGBTQ community in a world that sometimes feels less than accepting? These questions can be overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, rooted in a social justice framework. This means that our work together isn't just about alleviating symptoms.

When the burden of carrying trauma and stress becomes too much, people often feel like life is out of control. These periods of personal struggle can be an opportunity for growth and hope instead of continued hurt and personal crisis. Talking to a therapist offers an avenue to understand what is happening to you and your relationships (ie. with loved ones, friends, family, and of course yourself). It is an experience that can help you feel listened to, understood, and help you find solutions to improve how you feel and live.

The potential for self-improvement and positive growth starts with our willingness to open ourselves to new possibilities. Certain life events sometimes lead us to seek professional help and finding the right therapist you can establish a positive rapport can be challenging. One of the unique attributes that clients say about me is the warmth, gentleness and genuineness of our therapeutic process coupled with an inviting approach to wellness. I believe a significant core element of counseling is the relationship that you and I build as we navigate and explore the challenges that limit or prevent you from meeting your personal objectives.

I have been providing psychotherapy to a wide range of clients with a variety of problems and diagnoses since 1982. My goal is to propel patients into states and experiences, both internally and externally, that they did not initially know they could achieve. By approaching each patient as an individual, with unique problems and life circumstances, I can discover what they would gain from therapy. I use a combination of solution-oriented therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, and structured treatment to treat individuals and couples.

The best description of what I do after 30 years of success is that I am a bilingual (Spanish) stress management expert for ages 2 and up. After training together in Family Systems Theory and Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), my mother and I made our dream come true and founded The Hamilton Practice in 1995. She left her body in 2021, but the mother-daughter synergy lives on. After just a few sessions in what one child happily referred to as Miss Cary’s playroom, parents and teachers often report visible relief and a reduction in symptoms, even in children with intractable separation anxiety or physically aggressive behavior.
