Sometimes the best thing you can give yourself is the chance to be heard, tell your story and share your experience. In the current climate it may be especially hard for you to find the support you need. Maybe you have experienced trauma that seems to affect your work or relationships. Daily stressors can compound and impact your wellbeing, leaving you feeling distressed, anxious, irritable, depressed or overwhelmed. I aim to help you gain new awareness about your feelings and how they relate to current challenges or past experiences, leading to a sense of relief, improved self-acceptance and even curiosity and excitement.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive and open space that is trauma-informed and unique to each individual I meet. As a therapist, I have supported young children, teens, adults, and families with complex and diverse needs, and who hold varied and intersecting identities. I approach my practice in an intentionally anti-oppressive and person-centered way, and I value forming strong therapeutic relationships that allow for self-exploration as well as strengthening practical skills in a way that is healthy and specific to each individual.

Potential clients can expect a welcoming environment that fosters new ideas and attitudes to managing daily stressors. We will identify triggers and create coping skills to help with anxious systems. Develop and identify core themes in communication issues in relationships. Process experiences from the past and how they could be affecting current functioning. My approach to therapy first requires time to build rapport and trust with the client. Clients will feel heard and their feelings validated. Once a problem or goal has been identified, I utilize a core concepts from motivational interviewing, CBT and solution-focused therapy.

My approach to counseling is integrative, meaning I draw from several different types of therapy to fit what is best for the client's needs. I hold sessions from a non-hierarchical and non-judgmental position while simultaneously acknowledging the differences and limitations of working with diverse populations.

All human beings want to be seen, understood, & accepted. Therapy can be a safe & intimate space for such an experience. As a therapist, I believe we all need someone to empower, validate, & actively listen to us in an empathic way, which is what I thrive to do. I help in navigating life transitions, and/or processing emotions, thoughts, and experiences that cause distress. I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, self-doubt, decision-making, low self-esteem, and coping with Latinx family trauma, 1st gen. stress, the BIPOC experience, and emotionally immature parents.

It keeps happening. You get involved with the wrong person only to experience another painful and disappointing end. Friendships feel distant, like you have worn out your welcome and everyone is sick of hearing about your troubles. You feel stuck in this pattern at work and with your family. No one listens, while the feelings of isolation quietly build. You’re stuck in a vicious cycle but don’t know how to break free. Disconnected from yourself, how are you going to connect with others?

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
