I enjoy learning about a person’s history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. No matter what trauma a person has gone through, whether it be sexual, intimate, or otherwise, I want to make myself available for those who need that safe space. I specialize in individuals who have experienced domestic violence, and I take a keen interest in those who have experienced human trafficking. I hope to rebuild those individuals and their families who have witnessed those traumatic events and to make sure that they get the mental and emotional support they need.

Often difficult life experiences leave a lasting mark on our ideas of ourselves. In the therapy room, I invite my clients to explore how parts of themselves have adapted to survive.

I am a gender queer, pansexual, latinx, therapist who specializes in working with women, queer, gender diverse, and polyamorous folks. I see clients age 13 and up, and love supporting adolescence and young adulthood. My niche is childhood trauma, and emotional and sexual abuse.

I work with children, teens, parents, young adults, and families (nuclear, separation/divorce, and blended). Counseling is BIG stuff, and it takes courage to start the process. I believe that each of us has the ability to make powerful, positive, growth-oriented changes in their lives.

I help people who are struggling to develop a strong sense of self worth. I often work with people exploring identity and self acceptance who are experiencing symptoms like high anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with stress, and intrusive negative thoughts. Some therapists focus only on the symptoms which can feel incomplete, but I listen deeply to hear what’s going on underneath to help you process the old stories and beliefs held within that are cutting you off from your true self.

You're feeling stuck. You're finding yourself feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from life, others, and maybe yourself. You feel uncertain of your thoughts, wants, needs or what to do. Trauma can leave us feeling hopeless, exhausted, and alone. It can make us shut the world out, or put other's needs before our own in hope for solace. At times it can feel like change isn't possible, or if we just ignore it long enough it will resolve itself.

I have worked with many populations throughout my career including children and adults with physical and/or cognitive disabilities, women and men struggling with their mental health, adults navigating the criminal justice system, middle-school students, and seniors. As a therapist, I work with adolescents and adults and provide individual and couples therapy. Before settling into social work, I spent 14 years in the arts and my experiences were pivotal in making me the therapist I am today. In the theatre, you must find your voice, be in your body, improvise, collaborate, and maintain curiosity. I take all of this into my practice.

Something isn't working. Maybe the conflict, or lack of connection, in your relationship is leaving you hurt and hopeless. Or you've taken the hard step of ending a relationship, but now don't know how to avoid making the same mistakes with your next one. Perhaps, like many, the last few years have left you stressed and burnt out at work, and you're looking for a new sense of purpose or meaning. Maybe, on paper, everything looks good, yet you still aren't happy. It's easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged; to not know what to do.

I am an advanced clinician in Imago Therapy. When relationships aren't working very well or are on the brink of ending, it really feels bad; like the rug is being pulled out from under you. Often there are solvable reasons for why these things happen. I am motivated by those methods such as Imago therapy and EFT which have worked so well for so many in the past to help couples develop a high degree of safe attachment in their relationships. Something, that once they have learned how to do it, they can take with them because it is portable.

"ITS OKAY TO BE SCARED, BEING SCARED MEANS YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY BRAVE." Mandy Hale. Sometimes people struggle with the idea of going to see a therapist and finding the one that is right for them. Having rapport with your counselor is the most important thing. Once there is rapport with your counselor, the conversations will not feel forced/coerced ...you get to be in the present and work on why you came to therapy to begin with. Each person is unique, so I will use a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue.
