I work with many clients from many different backgrounds and cultures. My priority and number one goal is to enhance their lives and over all psychological functioning and wellbeing. I am not here to fix you, as you are not broken. My main goal is to help every single client to actualize and become the best version of themselves. I approach each client as an individual, with respect, dignity, and sensitivity. I view myself as working alongside each client towards creating more fulfilling opportunities, while reducing long standing negative behaviors, feelings, and thought patterns.

I am a bilingual counselor with clinical experience working with adolescent and adults with both addiction and mental health disorders. My goal is to provide the most effective treatment possible for men, women and adolescents through the use of person centered techniques including motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.

What does it mean to live a happy and content life? Free of emotional pain? Each of us have a unique answer to this question. I have developed an intimate understanding of why we have a hard time answering this question. A good counselor helps you identify these barriers and find ways to minimize them. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have found success in empowering my clients to gain insight and help them develop new realizations that maximizes their potential to answer this question. I believe there are a few skills that make empowerment possible. When you develop these skills, all doors open and nothing can stop you

I empower my clients by building coping strategies, enhancing self-awareness, and resilience.

You get up early for a quick shower or a hot cup of coffee before the kids wake up and the day gets insane. Or, you peel yourself out of your bed with foggy eyes and force yourself to get ready to start the day. That knot in your stomach just won't go away and you feel like you are running in circles. Things have happened in your life that affected you in ways you can't really understand. Strained relationships with family, a divorce or difficulty adjusting to your new role as a parent. Life doesn't have to be this way!

Compassionate therapist experienced with all age groups and diverse backgrounds. I am able to develop strong connections quickly, with adolescents as well as older generations. I have experience working with addictions and substance abuse.

SUNRISE COUNSELING CENTER (in 3 locations) has been serving our community for over 30 years. Now that the world has changed and we are all adjusting to a "new normal", people have now found our services to be an ESSENTIAL support, to discover peace and happiness once again! Don’t suffer alone! 2000 of your friends and neighbors are now getting help through our various services. In addition, during these difficult times, the staff at SUNRISE COUNSELING CENTER would like to “give back” to our community by offering free consultations about both our psychotherapy (talk therapy) and psychiatric (medication management) services.

I have been a practicing therapist for 25+ years with a focus on individual, family and couples relationships. Using an eclectic approach as well as evidenced based practices (CBT, MI), my clients learn to communicate better, learn what each person can change about themselves that can help to make their relationship(s) happier and healthier.

I specialize in working with adults presenting with anxiety and OCD. I understand that letting go of anxiety can at times feel insurmountable, and I work with you to develop the tools to free yourself from worry and better connect with what is important to you.

I would love to help you create the changes you are seeking and in turn find your authentic self. I am client centered and my approach is individualized to meet your personal needs and goals. I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and together we can find and work on the issues that you feel are holding you back from having the life you want to be living.
