Hi! I’m Aracely, I first want to commend you in taking the first step in creating positive change for yourself. Let me first start by telling you about my clinical style. It is very hands on, I will push you, encourage you, keep you accountable, strengthen you all while assisting you in accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself. During our work together, I will also provide you with a safe, non-judgmental environment so you can feel free to share what has been ruminating in your mind. If you are sick and tired about feeling unhappy about situations, experiences and or people, I am thrilled to help support you in this.

I love working with teens and pre-teens. If you have tried everything you can think of to help your teen and they are still struggling, it’s not your fault. It doesn't mean defeat when you ask for help, it means you are smart and you know your child deserves better. Being a teenager is hard. There’s so much pressure from parents, coaches, friends, romantic interests, teachers, and an enormous amount of pressure they put on themselves. They want someone to talk to as they figure out who they are and who they want to be. It can be difficult to be vulnerable and friends often have well-meaning, but misguided advice.

I work collaboratively with clients to help generate insight and cultivate healthier approaches to the challenges and ebbs & flows of life. I focus on empathy & humility while working to uncover underlying dynamics contributing to what's not working so we can make intuitive and meaningful changes. I want to help you understand yourself and find your own intuition to ultimately be more satisfied with your life overall. I specialize in women/xn dealing with anxiety, identity & self-esteem, relationships, boundaries, phase of life & adjustment/transitions, family, career, sexuality & more.

I have over 10 years of experience treating individuals in therapy as a collaborative process. My approach is to treat current issues with an in-depth understanding of the self. Identifying patterns and making the unconscious, conscious are the keys to improving relationships, increasing self-esteem and meeting life goals.

My areas of speciality include chronic shame and low self-esteem, attachment trauma, CPTSD, women's empowerment and empowered dating, anxiety, depression, and escapist or numbing behaviors. Many of us are living disconnected from ourselves, believing we are deeply flawed and broken. Unresolved trauma and present day mental health challenges can leave us feeling hopeless and deeply insecure. In therapy with me, we will explore and challenge these beliefs to help you step into the fullness of who you are. As someone who has walked this path before, I deeply understand the nuanced experience of pain, shame, healing, and growth.

Looking for a therapist and showing up for your first appointment is scary! Making that initial call takes a lot of courage, but ultimately it will be the best gift you can give yourself. I work with a wide range of issues, from depression, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship problems to "stuck in a rut." My goal is to help you reach your goal.

Do you work in a highly competitive industry like entertainment or tech? Feel a constant need to perform well and prove your worth? You may be looking for a therapist who understands the stress and anxiety that comes with the constant comparison, self-doubt, and pressure to excel that you experience. In spite of your achievements, you may battle some depression and low self esteem. If you are similar to other high achievers I treat, you may also be grappling with people-pleasing, self-criticism, or confusion about your identity and self-worth. Trauma from childhood or other losses may make it even harder to feel good in your skin.

Change is constant. Whether with work, personal relationships, or society in general, everything is always changing, evolving - moving forward. Sometimes the tools or thoughts we use to cope with the ever-changing situations are out dated and leave us feeling frustrated, fearful, or even overwhelmed. In recognizing this, it is time to update our thoughts and coping skills so we can move forward and grow away from fears, low self esteem, or "stuck" feelings. Hypnosis is a safe, effective Holistic tool, with a positive approach to overcoming the fears/challenges holding you back from the success you desire and deserve.

Growing up in either a high-conflict home or as a “latchkey kid,” you took on the role of a mini adult. You learned to not take up space. If you did, you were a confidante to a parent, or achieved to distract from the conflict at home and to earn affection and attention. As an adult, you feel anxious constantly, walking on eggshells, people-pleasing and feeling responsible for others’ emotions. Despite being high-achieving, you struggle with low self-esteem and never feeling good enough. Therapy can help you heal wounds around self-worth, increase self-esteem, set boundaries and find balance rooted in a deep sense of confidence.

As a creative woman, you struggle with feeling confident. You know you want to make a change but you’re not sure how. Maybe you’re struggling with deeply rooted issues that make it hard to move forward in life, or how other people perceive you. Perhaps low self-worth makes it difficult to express yourself creatively. You worry that the way you feel about yourself keeps you from living the life you really want. And you don’t feel like the kind of woman you want to be. As a creative, you feel like you're failing and the confidence you have in your relationships is eroding.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or being stretched thin? Are you looking for a positive outlet and someone safe to talk to? Are you having a hard time with negative or intrusive thoughts? Are you struggling with self-esteem or having confidence? Having challenges in your relationships? I am here to help and support you along your journey. I can help to identify those negative things in your life and explore ways to ease anxiety, depression, worry, and thoughts of self-doubt. Together, we can explore ways to create balance and address your health as a whole so that you can find the peace and confidence you are looking for.

I help intuitive, empathic, & spiritually attuned individuals/couples, LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC who often identify as non-monogamous &/or non-heteronormative. I specialize in inner conflict, relational conflict, relational trauma, sexual trauma, spiritual trauma, childhood trauma, anxiety, anger, grief, guilt, shame, & codependency.

I believe in working collaboratively with clients and building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, honesty, and openness. I see my role as a curious, caring human being first and a clinician second. I encourage feedback and work diligently to tailor treatment to meet a client's needs, ranging from achieving short term specific goals, symptom reduction, and crisis management to long term growth work focusing on personal development, relationship patterns, and wellness maintenance.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Hypnotherapist who truly enjoy helping people live their lives to their full potential. I see challenges in life as opportunities for growth, and invitation to better ourselves. I have a masters degree in clinical psychology and working in the mental health field for over a decade helping clients achieve successful results.

In working with adolescents and young adults, I often see them struggle with unconscious pattern behaviors that relate to early experience. The unspoken or unprocessed trauma or negative experience can affect people for years. My role in therapy is to support clients in raising awareness of their feelings, thoughts, and needs, which can help them make healthier decisions and achieve self-actualization.
