I know we are in a time of uncertainty and we don't know what the future holds, but I am here for you. I would like you to imagine a state of mindful, empowered, living because it can be done. Whether you are currently experiencing anxiety and stress or have been struggling with depression, there is help. Having over twenty years of experience in the mental health field and over eight in private practice, I've come to understand the obstacles and challenges a person may face in therapy. Each journey is unique and I am privileged to be a guide for you to discover and find what you are looking for in life.

I enjoy working with people who want to believe that life can be better and are willing to put in the work to make the most of it. I often say that being an adult is not at all as easy as it looked. Truthfully, nothing is. Together, we can find a better path.

I have extensive experience with mood disorders, trauma and addictions and work with all ages. I am trained in EMDR and use that technique with both children and adults if appropriate. My clients often state when they first spoke to me they felt immediately at ease and did not feel judged. I am able to assist my clients in seeing patterns in their life story and work to identify and change core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough", "I'm defective" or "I cannot trust others."

Offering online therapy via video telehealth and services in Spanish!! Regain control of your life as I help you find the tools, and teach you skills that will help you feel at peace and in charge again. No matter the circumstance (i.e., COVID-19 anxiety, caring for an aging relative, relationship problems, medical condition, neurological condition, traumatic experience, career, or life transition), that is causing stress, anxiety, sadness, anger, or even guilt, we can work together to improve your mood, relationship with others, reach clarity of thinking, and be in a happier state.

Some often say we should stay active to maintain our physical health. I believe therapy is a way of getting active in maintaining positive mental health. We all endure many struggles in our lives and seeking help is the first step to overcome those burdens. I believe that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and believe in providing a warm, comfortable, and nonjudgemental space while developing a strong rapport with each client. In order to make the healing process most rewarding, I believe that displaying empathy and offering solutions are key along with understanding each client’s background, history, thoughts, and values.

Are you struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, poor body image or disordered eating? I have too, and it’s something that can be managed and overcome. Medication management and traditional therapy isn't what you're looking for? We can improve our mental health through talk therapy and exercise, and there’s research to prove it. Join me on a journey to improve your mental and physical health! As a therapist and certified personal trainer, I understand the importance of a mind body connection in healing. I offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to help you feel strong again. Join me today!

If you're looking for a comfortable, safe and authentic therapeutic environment free of judgment and conducive to healing, look no further! My energy and passion for the mental health profession are evident by the unconditional positive regard I provide to every client that I encounter. I have experience treating children, adolescents, and adults with diverse backgrounds and ranges of concerns. I have extensive experience working with the college student population who experience issues with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts and phase of life problems.

In life we frequently encounter obstacles between where we are and what we want to achieve. These obstacles can manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, or unresolved trauma. Gaining a better understanding of who we are is an important step in creating a sense of personal fulfillment in all aspects of our lives. I work with individuals to gain insight into the influence of not only past events, but also current patterns of beliefs, with a goal of reconciling past hurts, healing past trauma, and breaking the cycle of unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and reactions.

Healing is a process that begins with your decision to act. You do not have to be in pain alone. A professional therapist can guide and support your journey through skilled, evidenced-based techniques. I am a Licensed Counselor with more than fifteen years of experience with children, adolescents, and adults with a broad range of concerns. I am a compassionate listener and my main goal is to help you find your solid center and emotional balance. I am intuitively skilled at cutting through confusing dynamics and reactivity to identify core issues.

As social creatures sometimes we need an unbiased, objective perspective to help guide through rough spots and improve overall well-being. Connecting with a qualified mental health professional can help us re-center and work through current challenges. In a private and supportive environment, we work closely with clients to enhance functioning and well-being. Using a strengths-based approach, we work with you to identify ways in which you can be more effective and centered in work, school, relationships and at home.

When depression or anxiety take over and loneliness sets in, it is understandable to feel hopeless. Sometimes even relationships can lead to unhappiness. In therapy we will work to address these issues. Therapy is a journey of learning about your past and present self. This self-exploration helps open the doors to a fulfilling and meaningful life. I work with clients to help them understand their strengths and struggles, which creates a platform to achieve their goals. In order to do that, I believe that the therapist-client relationship is a partnership and it is central to achieve significant progress.

At ‘Anew Life' we understand that life is challenging and full of unexpected events for any and everyone. These events can leave deep emotional scars, painful memories, and setbacks if not appropriately addressed. The emotions can cause a person to act, live, and think in ways they usually wouldn’t. Anew Life wants to help that individual, couple, or family set a fresh course for their life. To achieve this goal, we continuously make it our priority to provide a therapeutic environment that is centered around growth, clarity, and a new beginning. After all, we all have needed a fresh start in our lives at one time or another!

Sometimes, life challenges can make us feel isolated, overwhelmed, and like no one could possibly understand. If you're experiencing this and finding it harder to cope, I'd love to partner with you in exploring and improving your situation. I'd like to show you that someone can, in fact, understand. My training – in both Counseling (MS & EdS) and Marriage & Family Therapy (PhD) – makes me uniquely qualified to address a myriad of individual and relational issues using evidence-based methods that increase insight and help bring about your desired changes.

When your thoughts become difficulty to control and worry takes over, therapy may help. Feeling overwhelmed, sad, anxious, and insecure do not have to be part of your daily life. Work demands, college demands, parenting responsibilities, and being a good partner all come with a lot of pressure. Therapy provides you the time and space to work through these issues and to create a plan to reduce or solve the problems as they arise.

What just happened to our world? Managing one's life and dealing with transitions takes on a whole new meaning but can still be effectively accomplished. My diverse practice (teens, adults, professionals, students) allows me to work with varied backgrounds, cultures & education levels. I have had success with treating with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship & family issues through behavioral changes, insight, re-gaining perspective (especially now) & goal adjustments. A strong and effective partnership between therapist and client is still important. I also believe that humor can be a handy secret weapon can be useful.

There are times in life when it feels like things are simply falling apart. Trauma and life stressors can leave us feeling alone and shattered, but trying to pick up the pieces can be overwhelming. Do you have experiences that you've tried to talk through but nothing helps or maybe the past is too difficult to speak out loud. Have you lost touch with parts of yourself that are creative, joyful and confident? Whether you just experienced a traumatic event or are recovering from years of stress, there is hope and the possibility for change! Mosaic Creative Counseling helps create something beautiful out of these broken pieces.

I've had over 20 years of experience in the field, working with many issues including a variety of sexual issues, abuse, crisis intervention, anxiety, depression and anger. I work with both youth and adults.

Things can easily get overwhelming. Before you know it, everything seems to fall apart. You try each day to get things back on track, to worry less, to force on a smile but nothing works. Other people may seem bothered by you or maybe you can't stand being around people anymore. Either way, your relationships are hurting and so are you. Nothing feels like it used to. Therapy can help you try to get back to your normal self, maybe even better than before.

You are a fixer. You worry constantly about other people, but neglect yourself. You often find yourself feeling irritable but don't know why. You bury yourself in work and run yourself ragged taking care of your children. You try to give your partner the attention they need but it never seems like it's enough. You figure if you can make everyone else happy, your happiness will follow. But it doesn't work that way.

Sex addiction can have a truly negative impact on your family, your career, your relationships, and your health. Discovering that your partner has a sex addiction or is heavily involved in porn can be devastating to your relationship. You may feel alone and ashamed about your partner's behavior and have the urge to try to control how he acts out. Although sexuality composes a large part of our lives, talking about it isn't always easy. When problems arise, it is even more difficult to discuss. Anger is a normal, healthy human emotion. However, left uncontrolled, it has the power to damage your body and your relationships.
