Now accepting new clients virtually with openings on Mondays and Tuesdays. I am a bilingual therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children and families of diverse populations.

I specialize in treating maternal mental health, young children, and women in various life transitions. I believe that providing a safe and flourishing atmosphere for individuals and families to explore and process through their hopes, fears, and past has the potential to provide immense healing. Early parenthood and life transitions often awaken a myriad of emotions from past experiences and future unknowns. This awakening can shape the way in which we and our children experience and react to the world. It takes a village, and therapy can be an important part of our village.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Hello & welcome! Life is interesting. It can be complicated and overwhelming. But I believe that above all, it remains a beautiful gift, as each of us have a right to become our most insightful, confident, and authentic selves. Throughout life, we may have developed defenses or created thought and behavior patterns designed to help us survive, obtain love, or have certain needs met. For children, teens, and adults alike, worries and sadness can emerge, and difficulties can arise from disconnecting from one’s true self, one's family, one’s social circle, one’s gifts, and one’s purpose.

We all want loving, connected relationships, we want the best for our children and we want deeply fulfilling and meaningful lives.

I will work to understand your inner terrain and then help you see the bridges, landmarks, rest stops, and water stations so that your journey regains more of its adventure and joy. From here you orient back to your own compass discovering calm, confidence, compassion, connection, creativity, courage, and clarity.
