Are you looking for a safe space to explore your emotions, express yourself freely, and embark on a journey of self-discovery? Welcome to my art therapy practice, where creativity becomes a powerful tool for healing and growth.

There is something so valuable about every person having a space that is their own, and to feel safe enough to say and feel whatever comes up for them in that space. I work from these core beliefs: That curiosity leads to understanding, creativity + play can heal, and comfort is something many of us could use more of these days.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 40 years. Throughout all of my years in practice, I have been amazed by the resilience of the human spirit. I work with clients who have endured and survived traumatic histories or devastating losses, and are now presenting with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or Complex PTSD. Recovery from trauma is hard work, but with support, effective therapeutic tools, and the commitment to recover, I believe healing is possible.

Relationships are one of the most difficult experiences we bravely engage in as humans. Misunderstandings, inflexible thinking, our own limited ability to engage as well as others limited ability, and trauma, all affect the evolving dynamics of relating to one another. Oh man, it's hard stuff. But we also want and long to be in a relationship. How do we do this simultaneously, avoid and attach? Well, it is a delicate balance and a work of art. I can help you explore the dance of relationships with your partner, family, or children.

Hello! I’m happy to hear that you are here and taking the first step to begin/continue your journey of personal growth and healing.

In our busy world, it is easy to find ourselves caught in a struggle with a limited understanding of where the struggle comes from or why it even exists. It can feel overwhelming just trying to meet the outer demands of life, let alone understanding the more inward struggle. I see therapy as a space; a needed, safe space to slow life down for even a fraction of a day to focus on the struggle and its solutions. My approach to therapy is inward-searching, awakening inner knowledge and insight to find solutions. For me, this work is sacred, as we are on a journey to understand and find our true selves.

After you take your first step to begin therapy, I will meet you where you are at this point in your journey. Whether you need a soft, non-judgmental space to find your footing or to gently and compassionately be held accountable for your behavior modification, I am here to help you along your journey. Together, through collaboration, we will develop a tailored, individual therapeutic plan to reach your goals.

Ever felt like you get in your own way ? Do you feel energetically stuck in one place and feel like there is no way to move forward in life? We all have the strength to heal ourselves as long as we have a safe space to explore emotions, negative thought patterns, and unresolved trauma within the soul. It is human nature to connect with others, sometimes it takes an unbiased support system to discover your authentic self through mind, body, and spirit. Our work together will explore healing your inner world through creativity, compassion, and positive self exploration.

People choose therapy for many reasons such as relationship problems, stress connected to life transitions or feeling stuck or dissatisfied with life circumstances. As a licensed therapist I believe that no one should have to endure pain and suffering alone. Therapy can lead to evolution and growth in all areas of life such as improved self esteem and relationships with others. My style is collaborative and my clients like the fact that I do more than just listen. I raise questions, get them thinking, make suggestions, and engage actively.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is certified in both Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). For the past 10 years I have worked with youth, adults, couples, and families within outpatient, in-home, virtual, and residential settings. My goal in treatment is to empower and equip individuals seeking help with the insight, support, and strategies necessary to achieve, and sustain, wellness within the safety of a confidential and judgement-free space.

This is the MOMENT; this is YOUR space to HEAL. I'm a Latinx therapist who strongly believes that we all need/want someone to empower, validate and actively listen to us in an empathic/genuine way.

My main goal is to provide a space, where you feel safe to share your life experiences, thoughts, and emotions. My work is driven by a non-judgmental, compassionate, and integrative approach that will be tailored and focused on your needs and goals as a unique individual for your healing journey.
