Many people are tired of putting a bandaid on the problem, and are looking for a deeper level of healing and insight. My approach is curious, collaborative, and non-pathologizing. Therapy with me is a long term, flexible partnership that can start with weekly appointments, and ultimately taper off. Although we'll talk through sensitive topics, I believe in making this journey enjoyable.

This thing we call life is hard. It is full of challenges, decisions, experiences, and transitions that lead to big feelings and complicated thoughts. The good news is: we can do hard things! I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including: depression, anxiety, sexuality and gender issues, relationship and family challenges, life transitions, grief, and trauma. My experience has taught me the vast strength of each individual...our ability as human beings to make meaning out of struggle, to change the things we can, and to accept (often with a changed perspective!) the things we can not.

People often come to me because they feel "stuck" in patterns they don't know how to get out of - cycles in relationships, feelings that won't go away, thoughts and behaviors that feel automatic and unhelpful. My style is one that’s exploratory and emotionally-focused; I work best with those who are naturally curious about their own minds and are looking to more deeply understand themselves. My therapeutic interests include relationship issues, creativity, depression, anxiety, racial/ethnic identity, perfectionism, chronic illness, religious and complex trauma. I have special interest and experience in working with Latino clients.
