Therapy in English and Spanish. Do you find yourself struggling to meet expectations set up by society about roles that do not resonate with you? Or maybe, you feel distant and disconnected from your partner which makes you second guess your life together? You may be fed up of trying to please people all the time to meet those expectations. Or being exhausted by continuously worrying about the future of your relationship with your partner. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way.

When life throws you curve balls, it can be hard to realize when you need support; especially when you've learned to cope by pushing through.

Well, vulnerability is power and your bravery and courage are the first steps to getting what you need to walk down a new path. My goal is to walk beside you - through whatever mess is in the way, empowering you to envision where you'd like to be and guiding you through the journey of healing and growth.

I have been in practice for 18 years. Life can get messy and complicated, sometimes we just need a little help coping.

You are seeking a stronger bond with your loved ones or you just want to obtain what is right for you. It is hard to deal with these struggles on your own. You tried to communicate with your loved ones and no matter how many times you tried to explain your narrative, you were met with anger, confusion, and frustration. You find yourself feeling the same emotions when you hear your partner share their perspective. It feels diffcult to have the same cycle repeat over and over again. You are at a point where you and your partner want to disrupt the cycle and try to become one again where you feel understood.

Are you hoping to better communicate, manage conflict and revamp your connection with your partner? Or are you in the midst of a major life transition? My clients struggle like you. Despite their brilliance, creativity and drive, the pressures of adapting to life's changes or communicating with their partner seem overwhelming. Before my clients came to see me, they figured that it was “too late” to make a change, and their life “is what it is.” They feared that if they took any drastic steps to improve their lives, it would be considered “selfish.” The fear of change, but also the fear of never changing created tension and anxiety.

My approach to therapy is grounded on trust, respect and the honoring of your experiences. I work with individuals, couples and families from a systems based orientation. That means you and your concerns are all in context of your family system. In treatment, we look at how your family of origin impacts how and where you may be stuck. Whether it is anxiety, depression, anger or an addiction, we can discover the source of the problem and help you reach your potential.

Communication struggles are very common. Are you clear on what you want? Are you really listening and being heard?

Maybe you feel stuck in one or more areas of your life such as career or marriage. Do you need help sorting through what you really want. I work with client with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, work/life balance, parenting issues and relational distress. I also provide assistance with career transitioning.
