I often think of those I work with as fellow travelers—a term borrowed from Dr. Irvin Yalom that reflects my belief in shared humanity. It dissolves the divide between “them” (the afflicted) and “us” (the healers), reminding us that no one is immune to life’s inherent challenges. In my practice, I strive to create a space where meaningful self-discovery and personal growth can unfold. My individualized approach allows me to honor each person’s unique story, and my own lived experiences deeply inform my commitment to this work. It’s a privilege to do this work, and I do it with intention, mindfulness, and authenticity.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted, possibly following trauma, high-stress experiences, or major life transitions, such as individuals in the medical field experiencing secondary trauma, new moms experiencing pregnancy or the postpartum period, or young adults starting a new chapter. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand their emotions and regain a sense of control. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, drawing from evidence-based practices like Choice Theory and DBT to support emotional regulation, insight, and meaningful, sustainable change.

I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively as a school counselor, which gave me the privilege of supporting children through challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and family transitions. I believe that growth happens best when everyone works together. In my practice, it is vital to collaborate closely with parents and family systems to provide consistent support and lasting change.

I believe meaningful growth happens within a relationship grounded in trust, honesty, and vulnerability. Together, we create a space where deeper understanding and genuine transformation can unfold. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and welcome clients in either language.

Therapy That Evolves With You — You’re often the one who takes responsibility, keeps moving forward, and gets things done. Lately, though, you may feel more overwhelmed than energized, more depleted than motivated. Burnout can show up quietly—through anxiety, emotional exhaustion, or a growing sense of disconnection from what once felt meaningful. Life can feel heavy when anxiety increases, old trauma resurfaces, motivation drops, or relationships feel strained. Many people come to therapy because they’ve been carrying too much on their own for too long — and they’re ready for real, meaningful change.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists

What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?

The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?

Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?

REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
