It is likely you made your way here because you find yourself struggling. Maybe someone who cares about you is suggesting that you get help? Maybe you have decided you want to thrive rather than just “get by?” Maybe you are ashamed or embarrassed to talk to someone? If you choose to contact me, rest assured that your specific needs will be addressed in a warm and empathetic manner.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and an International Certified Gambling Counselor providing evidence-based interventions to assist my clients. I provide group and individual therapy in English and Spanish in the following areas: problem gambling, substance abuse, mindfulness, emotional disturbance, and inappropriate sexual behavior.
I am dedicated to treating you and your loved ones with the respect and dignity you deserve. I look forward to collaborating with you on a treatment plan that incorporates your goals and desires. If you are looking to get some assistance, feel free to contact me and I will gladly answer any questions you might have about the process.
