Hola! I am a virtual bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist whose expertise is working with couples and individuals who are desiring to recover trust in their relationship after betrayal/infidelity. I also work with couples who are overwhelmed with the continual conflict and misunderstandings in their relationships. I am spiritual, non-religious and respectful of all faiths and denominations.

Finding a suitable space to develop the safety and trust required to slow down and pay attention to yourself may be challenging. You yearn for a space where you or your loved one can be vulnerable and cared for. You desire a space where your mental health concerns are validated, gently held, and supported. You want to enjoy the most out of life but need help knowing precisely how to get there. You want to show up as your whole self and feel accepted for all that you are. You are tired of having relationships that don't feel right and are ready to explore and break the generational cycles in your lineage.

Although some struggle is an inevitable part of life, there is the danger of accepting continual pain & struggle as "the way life is". This way of thinking can keep a person trapped, unable to even imagine what "better" would look like. Therapy offers a way out. For some, the traumas suffered in the past make it difficult to find happiness. Others may find themselves behaving in ways that leave them feeling worse, or once again in the same hurtful relationships. Some may be consumed with regrets about past mistakes, or filled with fear of the future, missing opportunities to live well in the present.

My counseling style is warm, caring, and interactive. I create a safe, stigma-free environment where all clients are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. I work to form a treatment plan in coordination with the client so that we can have the most successful counseling relationship possible.

Hello! I am a sex-positive, sexuality and gender identity-affirming therapist working with individuals, couples and partners. I work with people at any stage of coming out and living. I am easy to talk to about non-traditional relationship models, such as polyamory and kink. With couples and partners I often coach empathic listening and validation skills, and then experiment with relationship agreements to serve you better.

At the heart of my work, I believe the relationship is key to supporting my clients. It is essential to me that I build trust with my client so they can feel seen and understood. In a world where so many of my friends and family have had a hard time finding a therapist that works for them, I prioritize this. People want to show up to a session where they can connect, be heard and not feel judged. I practice cultural humility and empathy with an understanding that our lives are imperfect. I have supported my clients through a range of issues from anxiety, to executive functioning and managing a challenging time in their life.

I specialize in the treatment of what are often interconnected problems (mood and anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and trauma), as well as the treatment of behaviors that can develop in response, such as substance use (in an effort to self-medicate). I believe we all do the best we can to cope with pain, using whatever skills we have available. And yet sometimes our best efforts to avoid suffering can serve to keep us stuck retreading the same paths. Step by step, let's venture forward in our work together, letting suffering subside as we uncover meaning, learning to live more full and valued lives.

Listening is an art and a science. Speaking with trust to a professional in a private and confidential space. It's still the best medicine we have. We call it "the talking cure" because is a transformative experience. For this I provide a healthy and creative environment where all my patients can grow, relax, auto-reflex, think deeply and make the best decision of their life for themselves, their love's ones, for partners in a difficult relationship, their children, family as a whole and impact positively life itself and the world permanently.

My goal for the individuals I work with to feel both empowered and supported while decreasing symptoms and stressors they are experiencing while increasing their self-resiliency. I work with individuals suffering from depression and/or anxiety and the various affected areas one’s lives such as relationships, self-esteem, work and grief.

​"Let your hope which is your highest good and highest ability lead the way and serve you as a guide in the world of darkness" - C.G. Jung. Therapy nurtures the power of the human spirit and its vast capacity for development and transformation. My approach emphasizes compassion and communication as key components in building, healing, and maintaining healthy relationships. I believe that encouragement, understanding, knowledge and action promote growth in the family system and in each individual family member.

Life is beautiful! Living is painful! Our challenge is to make meaning out of the sound and the fury and find peace and satisfaction where we can. Let's explore the thoughts and emotions that shape your inner experience, and notice how these inform the actions that you manifest in the world. The tension among these aspects of experience can be the root source of much confusion and suffering. Productive therapeutic work supports our efforts to find loving acceptance of what lies within, which enables us to act more authentically and effectively as we move through the world.

Deep connection, trust, and good fit will allow us to collaborate on your most complex issues and areas for personal growth. Using multiple therapeutic techniques, we will co-create a plan. I connect with and share intense emotional experiences in a safe, healing relationship. I am especially attuned to dimensions of difference and identity and strive to meet my clients where they are. During your initial consultation, your questions will be primary, and together we will clarify your goals, and problems to address. It is paramount that our plan feels clear and comfortable, knowing that we will revisit and adjust it over time.

I help people reconnect with their inherent worth and well-being, something that challenging life experiences (especially trauma) have an unfortunate way of obscuring. Doing so allows you to flow more freely in the world, get more from life, and embrace adventure. In other words: it's about finding the pathway to live the deepest and richest life possible. To do this, I blend evidence-based psychotherapy approaches like CBT, IFS & EMDR with contemplative practices from the wisdom traditions, including mindfulness, nonduality, and stoicism.
