Life can be challenging at times! Sometimes it feels like just when you think you have figured this thing called "Life" out, there is another obstacle that comes along like a tornado to disrupt it again. I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field assisting individuals tackle challenges in life that may be causing difficulties.

Life's journey can be intricate, layered, and unpredictable, often leaving us overwhelmed by anxiety and depression. As a Psychotherapist with a PhD in Clinical Sexology, I specialize in helping individuals regain control and find fulfillment. With a trauma-informed and integrative approach, including EMDR and cognitive-based therapy, I empower clients to transform their lives. Let's embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery together.

Thanks for choosing this courageous step in your journey toward improvement. Life can be challenging and it might take some time to overcome obstacles in our way. I believe that everyone has a potential to learn, grow, improve, and heal no matter what circumstances one is facing. We are resilient beings so let's uncover what has been sitting dormant.

We hold the key to all the answers we need on our journeys to self - actualization. In this day and time of fast-paced, quick stimulation and fixes gratification, we miss those opportunities to slow down and really listen to the our "spirit", our "gut instincts", the signs and signals our own body send to us to alert us when we are "out of balance" mentally and emotionally. As a result, we become clouded with doubts, mixed-messages, insecurity, etc. Right now, what is needed are those specific tools and strategies - just for you, in order to life to the fullest! Right Now! Let me help you in your journey to be the best you.

My objectives in therapy are safety and growth. We will work together to discover what is needed to create the life and relationships you want. Together, we discuss what is needed for you to thrive (and what gets in the way). I am honest and direct in my work. I am a highly empathetic, interactive, personal, and dynamic therapist who can equally support and challenge when needed. I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families with relationship issues, connections (with self and others), anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger, communication, impostor syndrome, and mindfulness.

Todavía están tensos y con rabia por otra pelea a gritos que acaban de tener. Ni siquiera están seguros de qué se trataba esta vez. Últimamente, cualquier cosa pequeña puede desencadenar una batalla total entre ustedes. Ayer discutieron por sus suegros, el día anterior fue por dinero. Ha llegado al punto en que han comenzado a evitarse porque no pueden estar en la misma habitación sin pelear. ¿Sería mejor si simplemente separamos? No están listos para renunciar al sueño de un futuro compartido , pero las cosas solo empeoran. Quiere salvar esta relación, pero no está seguros de cómo hacerlo. Están ya desesperados sin saber que hacer!

Making the decision to embark on a therapeutic journey takes courage and vulnerability. Congratulations on taking this step towards improving your personal wellness. Productive therapy starts by creating a safe space and working on building a relationship that fosters trust.

I will work with you to illuminate the meaning of your experience and help you practice greater self-acceptance. Therapy goals/counseling/education will be tailored to your unique needs.
