July 2023 Accepting new clients! Email or call today! Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, but I hope to help make it as easy as possible for you to connect with me. I have had the privilege to work with individuals through their most challenging times and help them find their inner strength and recognize resilience. Through my empathic and down-to-earth approach, I have found success in working with a variety of populations. I use evidence-based practices to help people come to a place of healing and reach their full potential.

As a cognitive behavioral therapist, I help clients learn strategies to reduce stress, improve mood, and handle difficult life situations. I collaborate with the client in a nurturing and supporting environment to define goals and work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. I provide therapy to individuals, families, and couples dealing with a variety of emotional challenges. I have expertise in the areas of anxiety, mood disorders, and women's issues. In therapy we will examine how thoughts impact behavior and feelings. Clients will be able to recognize their own negative thinking patterns and to view situations more constructively.

Accepting new clients - You’re pulling everything off at work or school, but you still feel not good enough. You can be your own worst critic. It’s impossible to quiet your harsh inner voice, especially when you’re falling asleep. It feels like you’re wearing a mask around everyone. Your partner or friends want you to open up, and part of you wishes you could, but another part of you can't let your guard down. You try to battle your thoughts or distract with work or drinking, but nothing helps. You still feel overwhelmed, stuck, alone. You deserve the space to slow down and be heard. You can finally take the mask off with me.

Working with diverse communities in the Rivertowns, women, couples, students and people of all ages are my specialties. I believe in a warm, compassionate and professional approach to counseling where client and counselor are able to work together. Assessing the strengths of each individual, and helping that person achieve their life goals despite the many obstacles in their way, or the losses they may be suffering is what I strive for as a therapist. As Carl Rogers says best "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."

When I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I made it a point to meet with patients before reading their chart. As a clinical supervisor of graduate-level social work students, I emphasized the importance of listening without the cloud of a diagnosis and repeated histories. Emotions need to be heard, whether in the form of fierce opinions or protective language. This can happen, in conversation, if the therapist is able to shed or expose known competing biases.

Are you a 20 or 30 something looking to make sense of the confusing changes life so often throws our way? Like a musician, I'll teach you how to 'read the 'chord changes' of your life story to create more interesting music.

I'm a warm and caring therapist using psychodynamic, cognitive skills and humor to address issues surrounding anxiety and depression whether relating to vocation, relationship and sexuality or simply practical coping techniques.

Bilingual (English and Spanish) psychotherapist with experience and interests in treatment of depression, anxiety and PTSD. Together we will work towards your wellbeing. I am here to help you gain insight and assist you with overcoming unhealthy patterns that leave you feeling stuck and depleted. Using a holistic and eclectic approach, I will focus on your strengths, and the gifts you already hold within. As we collaborate together, we implement effective skills, and tools to help you feel connected, empowered and in control of your life, environment and your relationships.

At Think Peace, we work with individuals to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Think Peace provides an honest and caring approach to help people identify their struggles and create realistic plans to address their needs. We recognize that therapy is a vital way of addressing life’s dilemmas. During the therapeutic process, we work together to explore presenting concerns, limiting beliefs, and interpersonal struggles. From there, we identify appropriate strategies and create a plan to challenge and change previously restrictive behaviors and thought patterns.

I provide a relaxed and non-judgmental environment in which to focus on understanding the issues you are having and to map out an effective path to change. My approach is based on specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety and other psychological issues experienced by adults and adolescents. I also have expertise as a clinical health psychologist and have worked in outpatient and hospital settings with families, patients and healthcare teams to improve coping with and management of chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS.

I view therapy as a collaboration between patient and therapist. We are a team with a common objective. When you come in, we will first complete a thorough intake, and then put together a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. During therapy you will learn skills and techniques which you will practice in between sessions, and implement in your everyday life. I believe that if people understand what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how it is going to help them, then they are more likely to engage in treatment, and benefit more from therapy. When you are ready to end therapy, you will take these skills with you.

When we find ourselves feeling stuck, burnt-out or hopeless with our current circumstances, we have the unique opportunity to develop the resilience necessary to thrive and overcome obstacles. Often in our working and personal lives we make the mistake of thinking that the longer we tough it out, the tougher we are, and the harder we work, the more successful we will be. Consider psychotherapy that develops wellness solutions that strengthen your ability to be resilient when faced with adversity and challenges.

I provide ongoing psychotherapy and short-term counseling for individuals struggling with a range of issues including: anxiety, depression, challenging relationship and family dynamics, parenting, dating, separation/divorce, grief, trauma, and stress management.

I also integrate cognitive behavioral techniques to help my clients meet their treatment goals.
