Hello and welcome to therapy! Emotions such as anxiety, fear, sadness, and anger can keep us stuck in negative situations and from progressing in our career and relationships. The first step to change is awareness. Speaking with a compassionate and competent professional can help you unlock your potential toward a more genuine version of you. I work from a client-centered counseling perspective, meaning that I approach the therapeutic relationship warmly, genuinely, and without judgment. My approach is to team with you to identify goals and help you create meaningful techniques that will assist you in reaching your goals.

Yale Teen POWER is a research clinic that does treatment studies to develop and test new behavioral therapies. We work with teens (11-17 years old) who have concerns about eating and weight, such as those who are engaging in binge eating and those who have been bullied because of weight.

My clinical background comes from years of experience and practice working with diverse populations. Each situation/issue/fear/concern is viewed as an opportunity for unblocking a personal path towards inner growth and living a fuller life. As a therapist, I concentrate on what is of utmost important to the individual.(Completely bilingual- se habla español. Sirvase hacer una cita.)

Often it is a life crisis that brings people to therapy; whether it is internal or external. Making the connection of trust and support with the therapist is the first step to the work. I believe in the power of therapy to change patterns that interfere with relationships and satisfaction in life. Over time I have developed great confidence in the benefit of exploring family of origin relationships and how they play out in life. Understanding these patterns is often crucial to change and improvement in anxiety and depression.

Were you abused, neglected, and traumatized? Were you raised by a tiger mom? Did you raise yourself and everyone else? Do you feel frozen, numb, and disconnected from your body? Do you feel like there's something wrong with you? Do you have a need to be perfect? Do you feel anxious even during downtime? Are you always running and doing and still feel it's not enough? Is food your only friend? Yet, on the outside, you look like the most put-together person. If only people knew what was on the inside.

After years of exploring many healing modalities, I’ve found working with the unconscious, more than anything, helps gain insight and understanding that’s necessary to heal quickly, permanently and remove the blocks that get in the way of a happy, successful life. You can’t fix anything until you make it conscious. A wholistic approach that addresses the body, mind and spirit works effectively and will help you to discover the fullness of who you are.

I enjoy providing support across the lifespan, to children, adolescents, adults, and families.

I also enjoy working with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, and body image issues. I offer play therapy for younger clients and provide an individualized treatment approach based on the needs of each unique person

I have experience working with individuals seeking crisis services, incarcerated individuals, military veterans, and activity duty service members. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with substance use.

In a world where we can only see the negative in ourselves, I want to help you see the positive in you. It is my hope to help those who seek to find a better emotional and social functioning to improve their overall satisfaction of life. Depression, anxiety, stress, and other health conditions can take over your world and make it seem as if there is only darkness. But it is through observation and analysis that we begin to understand ourselves and what we can do. It is my desire to help you understand the issues that may be keeping you from moving forward and living your positive life to the fullest and best it can be.

These problems in living and many others may respond well to psychotherapy.
