We live in a world where we are expected to do it all, perfectly, and without struggling. We are constantly comparing ourselves to others and we declare ourselves "not good enough." These feelings tend to dictate our response to those around us, so that we are really just reacting to what is going on behind the scenes without even realizing it. I believe that a lot of the issues that present on the surface -- family issues, addiction, depression, and anxiety -- can be treated by focusing on overcoming shame, negative self-talk, and trauma. If this can be done, then the chances of improving your quality of life increases.

Do you find that anxiety, relationship conflict, or chronic stress are hard to overcome? Do you notice any patterns? Do the same arguments repeat? What do you notice as distance grows in your relationships? You may be managing neurodivergence, a chronic health condition, or the weight of complex family dynamics. You are curious about where these patterns come from and are ready to honestly examine your role in them. You are looking for a therapist who can understand your full context. I work with marginalized populations (i.e., LGBTQAI2S+ or Latine/a/o) and Monolingual Spanish-Speaking (Terapia Bilingue).

My experience as a wife, bonus mom to two children, my own journey of faith, and time spent with the animals I adore, affords me the ability to utilize these relationships to help communicate the many ways in which clients interact with the world around them can be beneficial and become a catalyst for growth and healing. My approach to therapy utilizes a foundation that life experiences, even as early as childhood, shape our view of the world around us, how we relate to others, and how we view ourselves. These experiences, in turn, shape our beliefs, thoughts, perceptions and interactions throughout every aspect of our lives.

FAQ - Co-Parenting Counseling
What happens in co-parenting counseling?
Co-parenting usually refers to the shared responsibility of raising a child after parents separate or divorce. Even when both parents want what is best for their child, co-parenting can bring stress, conflict, and major adjustment for the whole family. In co-parenting counseling, a therapist helps parents work through these challenges. Common topics in co-parenting counseling include communication difficulties, parenting differences, and their child’s well-being. In many cases, co-parents attend counseling sessions together, allowing the counselor to help them practice communication and problem-solving in “real-time”. Depending on the situation, one or both parents may also meet individually with the therapist before or during the counseling process.
How do I know if co-parenting counseling is right for our situation?
In most cases, co-parenting counseling is voluntarily sought by parents; however, it may also be court-ordered in certain family law cases. When counseling is not required, there is no single sign that a family “needs” it. Some parents begin counseling early to help everyone adjust to new roles, routines, and expectations before any more significant conflict emerges. Counseling may be especially helpful, however, when parents are dealing with ongoing communication problems, repeated disagreements about parenting decisions, or difficulty helping a child adjust between homes. If the same issues keep coming up despite your efforts to resolve them, co-parenting counseling can offer a more structured and supportive way to move forward.
Do both parents have to agree to attend co-parenting counseling?
If co-parenting counseling is court-ordered, it may be required that both parents attend counseling for an allotted amount of time. However, for those voluntarily seeking co-parenting counseling, it is up to you and your counselor to decide who will attend sessions. Many therapists encourage both parents to attend sessions, but if one parent is particularly reluctant, unavailable, or if there are safety concerns, one parent may choose to attend counseling on their own. Individual support can still help a parent improve their own communication skills, set boundaries, and respond to co-parenting challenges more effectively.
How do I bring up co-parenting counseling to a reluctant co-parent?
It can help to frame co-parenting counseling around your child’s well-being, rather than blame or criticism toward the co-parent. For example, you might say that you want to create more consistency for the child across households or help the child navigate school challenges in a more effective way. Timing also matters when bringing up the topic of counseling. It is usually best not to raise the idea during an argument or moment of high tension. Instead, choose a calm time, and offer the other parent a say in choosing the therapist, scheduling sessions, or deciding what goals to focus on in sessions.
