Hello and thank you for stopping by. When we say trauma, our go to is typically one event that has left us with symptoms of post traumatic stress. However, accumulated life cycle and emotional traumas can have significant impact to our function as well. These are the events that test our resilience and our emotional survival on a daily basis. Over time, it can feel as though “it” has changed us in a way we struggle to articulate. Sometimes we lay awake at night wondering how can we ever get back to normal. Sound familiar? I am here to help.

Do you sometimes feel as though you are trapped in your own head? Do you feel disconnected from the present moment, unable to experience profound connection, relaxation, and joy because you are dwelling on the past or worried about the future? Have you “worked through” difficult past experiences in traditional therapy, but still feel as though your problems continue to linger? If you found yourself nodding while reading any or all of these questions, you may have unresolved trauma affecting your nervous system. Using specialized techniques that target the nervous system, I can help you release that trauma once and for all.

Different phases in life can feel stressful, anxiety-provoking, or nearly defeating. Finding a counselor can feel like a difficult step, but a step in the positive direction for growth and more self-compassion and understanding. Finding a counselor who can create a supportive and safe environment for growth is essential. Whether it is due to life adjustments such as, changes in relationships or your environment that are causing feelings of anxiety, stress or depression, it is essential for a counselor to establish a role that is conducive for growth, safety, and trust. Becoming a client's advocate and support is a crucial.

Sooner or later we all come to a point where a bit of support, evaluation, insight, and collaboration may be beneficial to us. Relationships, loss, grief, trauma, adjustment to changes in life (whether they be positive or negative), workplace stress, and so much more are only some of the things that can bear impact on our daily lives, functioning, and emotional health... So, if you are ready to reevaluate some aspects of your life and seek support via collaboration, you’ve come to the right place, and I thank you for your initiative, time, and consideration.

We live through moments/experiences/situations that impact us tremendously, affecting our daily lives. It is vital to comprehend what happens to our body/mind/emotions and embrace the opportunity to heal from those experiences. I am a bilingual (fluent in Spanish) therapist who recognizes the impact of trauma on our nervous system and how it manifests/displays in the body. I listen carefully and offer empathy, creating a space without prejudice/judgment so that my clients feel calm/safe/confident in expressing themselves.

My clinical experience includes working with children and adolescents who have experienced abuse. In these cases, I utilize trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy to help children understand the dynamics of abuse and process traumatic experiences. I also work with adults navigating life transitions, trauma, and other mental health difficulties.

Under the supervision of Dr. Brenda Tillman, LPC-S, PhD.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I've been working in mental health for 7 years. During this time I've worked with individuals and couples in private practice, as well as pediatrics, teens and adults in a hospital setting. The social injustices of the world initially drew me to the field of social work, and along this path I found my calling for working closely with people who've experienced complex trauma & adversity. I use trauma focused modalities in correlation with mindfulness practices, movement/nutrition, artistic expression, and an eclectic approach tailored to each individual's unique human experience.

My cornerstone is meeting my clients where they are, fostering the growth of interpersonal support that will equip them to heal from their past and navigate desired change. I strongly believe that in order to truly understand who we are today, we must first understand where our core beliefs and values developed. I will help explore the life course and challenge my clients to discover pivotal moments, behaviors and thought patterns that will allow them to live a life in which self-esteem and self-worth reflect in everyday decision making. My approach is client centered, humanistic and holistic.

I believe that your past does not define you and everyone deserves to heal and feel better. No one should have to go through life's toughest moments alone. The people I work with usually want something about themselves or their life to be different. Painful and overwhelming experiences tend to impact who they are, how they feel about themselves, and effect their relationships with others. Healing usually includes caring for wounds, learning lots, and doing things a little differently than before. People feel better about themselves - stronger, more secure, calmer, and more peaceful - as a result of therapy and healing work.

Hey you. Yes, you! Have you ever had thoughts of being “stuck” thinking “what is the point” or even just struggling to get out of bed each day? Well, I know I have, as a survivor of a traumatic accident that resulted in life long physical limitations, I went through these same thoughts often. I believe that sometimes life gets the best of us, and we get stuck in unhealthy patterns, from depression, anxiety, trauma, or anything else you may have going on. I would love to help guide you through this difficult part of your life as you learn about yourself and process through your difficult situations.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! Sometimes a past traumatic experience can resurface at a time that we are least expecting it. Finding friends and family members who are supportive can become difficult. We simply don't feel heard or understood. Life can also continue to throw unexpected situations in our way that we do not feel ready to face. I love working with clients who are trying to find themselves in different stages of their life. I have experience working with clients who have past trauma, divorce, martial disagreements and blended family conflict.

Relationships often need practice – learning and practicing new ways of interacting. Even when the relationship is with the person in the mirror! I provide a safe environment for you to explore reactions, thoughts and feelings about people in your life as well as yourself. I am experienced and passionate about helping. I’ve spent several years in private practice working with clients dealing with addiction, anxiety, Bi-Polar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, grief, Post-Traumatic Stress, relationship distress and Schizophrenia. I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

My experience includes working closely with professionals, including law enforcement and CPS, to provide justice and healing to children and teens who have experienced abuse. I am truly passionate about counseling children, adolescents, and teenagers to help them find their voice and empower them to take charge of their own healing. Along with teens and children, I have extensive experience working with couples and families. I believe families and couples function as systems and can work through most issues by focusing on identifying destructive patterns, working on their communication and understanding towards each other.

We live in a society that has made vulnerability seen as weakness, ironically, it is what allows us to be human and make connections. Do you feel a struggle in making connections? Do you struggle with overwhelming feelings of pain, anger, anxiety or depression, and feel like these are what define you? Do you feel like no one will ever understand, like you are detached from the world? Have you been through a traumatic experience, that robs you of freedom? Is motivation the issue, are you fatigued from attempts at change, but never having a guiding light?
