You deserve the life you want for yourself, family and career and I'd like to support you in navigating solutions using strength based counseling.

Getting out of your head and make significant small or big shifts. The experience I bring to private practice is influenced by a career in executive corporate settings, school counseling and mental health research in integrative therapy. Keep it simple, take the next indicated step.

I am passionate about working with Latinx women who want to free themselves from expectations of culture and family . There are many layers to your identity, some are masked in perfection and shame, and affect other areas of your life. Together we will untangle cultural expectations and reflect on your needs and the life you want. If you are experiencing negative self-beliefs, I offer EMDR which helps process the “stuck” memories, emotions, and sensations you’ve been holding onto. Other areas of expertise include disordered eating, intergenerational trauma, or being impacted by having a loved one on death row or incarcerated.

Specialty areas with teens and adults include: family conflict, self-esteem/bullying, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
It is my mission to team up with children, teens and adults to improve confidence, positivity and emotional regulation. As children, we are taught math, science and reading, but not how to feel or to express our feelings. This can come out as aggression or anxiety or with-drawl. It is my goal to help my clients target problem behaviors, process past events, and learn new skills while providing guidance and support each step of the way.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, grief, or wanting to improve their relationships with themselves or others. You may find it difficult to offer yourself kindness in the same way you would towards a friend or family member. Many of my clients have felt stuck in the same narrative and patterns, leading them to feel more alone and isolated. I see individuals in a holistic perspective and hope to empower them to change their lives in a way that aligns with their personal values. I approach counseling through the lens of an attachment and nervous system perspective.

I like to help you identify behaviors and discern choices that will lead towards your desired lifestyle or go inward with you and explore the deeper levels of your consciousness using an Internal Family Systems modality and mindfulness work to facilitate self-acceptance and self-love.
Treading water long enough can lead to exhaustion and the waves of life can often feel unsurmountable on your own. The loudness in our cultures and in our minds bring heavy burdens that can trap you and make you forget who you really are. It takes a great deal of courage to reach for something different. You have taken a huge step considering therapy. Choosing someone you can trust and feel the freedom to be authentic with, in order to explore some of the deepest parts of life, is important. I am passionate about helping you find this freedom and live authentically while embodying your truest nature, despite the waves that come.

I tend to view the therapy process through the lens of the family system as a whole & how past influences may be hindering the way we operate in our current lives.
I work to create a welcoming atmosphere for clients to explore their lives in a new way. I have experience helping adults & couples with anxiety, depression, life transitions, communication, self-compassion, and boundary setting. By bringing more attention to our internal thoughts & feelings, we can often better understand what fears, defenses, & wounds may be getting in our way. This psychodynamic approach, IFS, as well as mindfulness & interpersonal neurobiology all inform how I connect with clients. Through our therapeutic relationship we explore your early life & bring unconscious thoughts & patterns into conscious awareness.

Do you find yourself feeling angry, frustrated, isolated, and maybe even confused? You’ve checked all the boxes and completed major life goals. Yet, you find yourself thinking “what next”? You crave connections with others but feel you lost the connection with yourself. You try your best to hide your emotions only for them to sneak in unexpectedly. Boundaries with family , friends, or partners seem like a blurred concept and it feels like someone keeps moving the post. Your connections feel one-sided and you’re struggling to balance it all. The pressure of perfection feels like a never-ending expectation.

I have assisted clients for 20+ years with marital distress, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, life transitions, grief and loss, job stress, loneliness, personal empowerment, trauma, family of origin and other relationship issues.
Please Note: I am not taking new clients at this time. Do you feel overwhelmed at times? Are your normal coping skills failing to help you with life events and transitions? Are you feeling depressed, anxious or lost? Are your relationships stressed and leaving you feeling alone? You do not need to struggle alone. Therapy can give you a place to pause and breathe, gain some clarity and calm, revive your coping skills and add new perspectives. It provides a supportive place where everyone feels listened to and understood. Often it leads to amazing change, healing and growth.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
