Are you worried, fearful or depressed? Would you like guidance, options and a new perspective? I can help you live a more satisfying life through compassionate listening, honest feedback, and a focus on results. My goal is that you learn skills to maintain the changes that satisfy you. If you desire a greater ability to understand and control your emotions and feel content, I can help you. Discover opportunities to see yourself differently than you currently do and create an effective, positive and lasting change. We will focus on getting the results you need to live a more satisfying life.
I provide counseling for adults, individuals, couples, children, adolescents, families and groups. I treat ADHD, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, substance abuse, self-injurious behaviors, trauma/PTSD, life transitions, and chronic pain. I use art, sand and play therapy. I teach skills that promote lasting change.
I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which treats physical, sexual, and emotional trauma. I am an EMDR Consultant and a group facilitator. I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am certified in Eating Disorders. I am also certified in Clinical Trauma. I am 100 % bilingual in Spanish and English.
