My diverse background and down to earth nature is a key element in my counseling style. I believe that for counseling to be most effective it must be done in an environment that is comfortable to my clients. If I can find a "medium" that they can relax in, they are more open about sharing their experiences with me". My counseling expertise is working with clients of domestic violence, sexual assault, recovery, PTSD, anxiety disorders, foster families/children, adjustment disorders and LGBT community. I am trained in EMDR, Brain Spotting and Experiential modes of therapy which I combine with other traditional modes of therapy.

We all have an innate goodness, natural spontaneity and potential. We tend to disconnect from it in response to painful experiences. It is a natural, even genetic program, to want happiness and joy in life. The frantic attempt to numb or avoid pain,results in denial of joy and natural spontaneity. My commitment as a therapist is facilitation of healing and transformation towards joy and connection. I use a Holistic approach, seek authenticity, and believe that each person's uniqueness can bring inner peace, extend to family, and enhance relationships. The happiness we generate extends to others and then returns.

Do you feel like you’re watching the days go by without really living? Perhaps you sense that God has a purpose in store for you, but you don’t know what steps to take next.

You were taught to tear yourself down, aim low, and use all your energy to take care of others while leaving nothing for yourself. Do you know that Spirit has a plan for you that’s bigger than this? No wonder your mind's driving you crazy! Our image-obsessed society is deeply afraid of the wild creative potential of our emotions. The real problem is NOT that you’re weak! It’s that you don’t trust yourself to be powerful. Imagine how amazing your life could be if you learned to channel all that crazy-making energy into finding yourself, feeling good, and fulfilling your deepest calling.

Sometimes life feels like it gets so big that we feel that getting a solid grip on it is impossible. I work with the individual to help them see that the problem is not as big as it may seem. We work together, by using their tools and strengths, to break it down to a manageable size. This allows the client to create a better way of coping with the issues.

My ideal client navigates the complexities of life within the queer or kink communities, or in nontraditional relationships like polyamory. They might be a parent, like me, raising a non-binary or special needs child, seeking balance and understanding. They need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their identity and relationships. As a Latina, part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and a therapist with degrees in Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy, I bring empathy and experience, using modalities like EFT and Gottman to help them thrive and embrace their authentic selves.

I provide individual counseling and premarital counseling for couples using the Prepare and Enrich Program by David Olsen. For the past 27 years, I have counseled adolescents, children, and parents in the school setting. Away from the school, my practice focused on clients of all ages who were encountering anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and low self-esteem. By attending counseling and through much encouragement, clients were able to better focus and resolve their mental issues.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

I am currently closed to new clients. Everyone is capable of resolving their own issues, but there are times when doing it all by yourself leads to a feedback loop of missed opportunities and unfortunate mistakes. Therapy with me is designed to address the underlying issues that impact our lives. The world has become increasingly polarized and most people seem lost in the middle. In treatment, we will examine how to exist and thrive in this world.
