Life is tough. Let’s talk about it. We will make some goals, and get you back on track to living your best life where therapy is no longer needed. With stressors like anxiety, grief, depression, life changes or lack of clear vision for the future, life can be tough at the best of times and seemingly impossible at the worst.

I believe successful therapy depends on clients honestly sharing their experiences and behavior. Yet many clients struggle to articulate their feelings, sharing these feelings with a stranger, even a therapist, can be difficult. It takes time for a therapist to earn a client’s trust. My goal is to build a therapeutic relationship with you to enhance a safer and supportive therapeutic environment.

I was purposed for social work. Therefore it's more of a CALLING than a job. Lastly, I am passionate about the work that I do and have a motto by which I live. If I can help somebody as I pass along, then my living shall not be in vain.

Therapy is a journey, and some clients enter my office with very little to no hope for themselves or for change. I assure my clients that I will hold the hope for them until they can hold it for themselves. I believe that therapy is most effective when we explore the source of our self-limiting beliefs. This involves looking into our family of origin, and how we came to think, feel and behave as we do. Through exploring the source, clients often come to see themselves in a new light which helps them develop a deeper sense of self-love and worth.

The driving force that makes each therapy session successful is how hard our client works to achieve his/her goals. It takes a lot to seek therapy and the first step is the most difficult one. However, we believe in the innate power that our client has within him/herself to find a way, El Camino. Our approach is client centered, but at times direct because we are not afraid to work on what may be difficult for you to face. With background in community mental health, we understand what happens when mental health fails to be properly treated.

I work with couples seeking to cultivate more secure, fulfilling, and resilient relationships. My approach integrates the Gottman Method, secure attachment frameworks, Polyvagal Theory, and principles from cognitive-behavioral therapy to foster effective communication, emotional regulation, and relational safety... I also support individuals in strengthening their relationship with themselves, enhancing self-esteem, self-worth, and self-talk while promoting self-compassion and self-forgiveness. I help clients build the capacity to “feel and deal” by improving their nervous system responses and choosing better coping strategies.

Gestalt Therapists

What is gestalt therapy?

Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.

How does gestalt therapy work?

Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.

How long does gestalt therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.

Does gestalt therapy work?

Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
