Overwhelmed. Lost. Defeated. Numb. Trapped. These are some of the heavy words clients have used to describe how they felt at the start of their journey.

As a Latina woman who grew up with many taboos related to mental health, I know how difficult it can be to open up and express our traumas. Over the years I have been able to experience firsthand what it feels like to be a mental health client, and now being a therapist, I can understand that therapy can be a little intimidating at first. That is why I am committed to helping my clients feel comfortable, being a safe and warm space for my clients to express any feelings or thoughts without being judged.

I believe that people have a natural desire to become the best version of themselves and as we grow, life provides us with opportunities to learn how to achieve it.
My intention is to offer support, structure and guidance through these experiences and help clients experience self-understanding and growth. Before practicing as a mental health counselor, I practiced as a Registered Interior Designer for 8 years. During this time, it was amazing to see the power that spaces have on people, both positive and negative; therefore, I made it my personal mission to always create spaces that nourished people’s well-being and creativity.

Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Having difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship?
Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, it's time to get some help.

Where to start? Life is full of ups and downs. After time, emotional pain can be difficult to describe. We know we are carrying hurt, physical stress, or relationship injuries but have difficulty talking about them. When we do try, we don’t get the response we were hoping for. At times, it may even be more discouraging. So, we disconnect and withdraw from people we care about. But over time, it’s as if we can no longer recognize ourselves. We are not broken or defective. There is a way.
