The space of therapy is for you to connect with a sense of curiosity, calm, compassion, presence, creativity - your truest Self. We all love, parent, and experience emotions differently. We exist at the intersection of gender, race, culture, age, sexual orientation and many other layers that make us unique as individuals. I enjoy working within this diversity to explore parts of you that are struggling and guide you to find creative solutions. Over 25 years of experience in community and private practice settings, in the US and in Latin America, helped me cultivate a multicultural perspective.

Life is full of twists, turns, dips, and bridges. We all need support through the challenging moments or for someone to just hold the space while we breath. Perhaps you feel as if you've lost the path completely and need help discovering the new normal.

There is a time to carry on, but there is a time to find a different way. You are tired of simply going through the motions of life. You find it hard to shake those feelings of worry and sadness. You feel overwhelmed by change and all the decisions in front of you. Your relationships feel hard and complicated. You provide so much for others at work and home that you don’t have anything left for yourself. I am a compassionate therapist who offers a warm and supportive space. I believe that personal growth is possible for everyone and that therapy is an effective strategy in that process.

I have a very holistic approach to psychotherapy and feel that each therapeutic relationship is unique and needs to be both broad and individualized. I help teens, and adults make sense of the complexity of a struggle or experience so that they can harness their strengths and feel empowered and supported to create a meaningful change in themselves and their relationships. I provide parent guidance for children of all ages to help parents make sense of complex childhood struggles and how best to understand and support their child's unique development.

Are you a couple or woman who works and plays hard and loves to learn? Are you struggling with self-care, relationship problems, trust issues, communication, family of origin issues or rejection? Increasing connection with self/others and self-worth along w/ an understanding of how family and past experiences may impact one's life & relationships are crucial for both development and success. I help clients realize the full potential of their relationships and facilitates change in their inner lives. Clients who work with me can expect to work on creating and maintaining healthy relationships as well as care for themselves.

The gift of therapy is an opportunity to feel different. Maybe to gain a felt sense of joy, peace and contentment. What does that mean? Many may have tried “talk therapy” alone. Although “talking” through life experiences can be helpful, it is often discovered that there is a felt sense to the issues that words cannot get through alone. Often resulting in not feeling better. The basis of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is that along with talk therapy it incorporates identifying where the feeling is physically located and more importantly, somatically felt. How the body is responding to the actual memory.

I specialize in integrative therapy, my approach is to address the individual holistically through both traditional talk therapy combined with art therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and EMDR. My specialties include: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, substance abuse/dependency and recovery. I believe the goals of therapy are to help to empower individuals to find healing and meaning in their lives.

My hope is for therapy to be a place for you to be your authentic self free of worry about judgment. I believe that clients know the most about themselves and their situations, and should be the leaders of their treatment. Our work together will be collaborative so we can discover ways to help you thrive. Each person has their own set of needs for therapy. I provide individualized care for each of my clients, implementing what they value and how they learn into their healing. I am a trauma-informed therapist, primarily using cognitive, supportive, and attachment-based therapies to guide my practice.

It is my feeling that all people have an innate need to succeed in life and to discover and better understand their human potential and purpose. It is also my feeling that growth occurs when we look inward. Through thoughtful introspection, the human spirit has the opportunity to evolve and actualize in both our conscious and unconscious lives.

The therapeutic relationship creates a unique space for patient and therapist to explore and uncover new possibilities for growth and change in areas that are of importance to the patient. I work collaboratively with patients to dislodge and free up deeply-embedded patterns of behavior and ways of relating to others that can keep us stuck and prevent us from moving forward, from achieving important goals, and from developing satisfying relationships that are nurturing and sustaining. Relationships are central to my work with patients, whether working individually, in couples therapy, or in a group.

I enjoy working with people who struggle with depression and/or anxiety. Ideally, their goals would be to improve their overall functioning and quality of life. My ideal client would be able to put in the necessary work to accomplish their goals. My therapy style is authentic, empathetic, and validating. I believe in incorporating various treatment modalities that are based on the individual needs of my clients.

I offer in-person and telehealth sessions. I am here to help others reach their personal goals while providing a warm and judgement free environment. My eclectic approach is flexible and meets the person where there at, while matching the symptoms and disorders to the treatment approach. I help individuals identify specific struggles in their life. My experience has helped clients regulate emotions, and work through issues and struggles while providing tools to facilitate healing. I value a client counselor relationship.

Eclectic approaches are an effective way to tailor a productive therapeutic relationship. I'm interested in combining the strengths of various counseling modalities, with the strengths and interests of my clients. We can use your love of baking, rock collecting or even bird watching as a tool in your journey towards positive change! Together we will work to create a path that fosters strength, stability and a sound sense of self.
