Something isn't working in your relationship and you're not sure what the solution is. Maybe it's arguments about anything and everything, the aftermath of infidelity, or a growing disconnection. Most of us aren't taught how to navigate adult relationships which can leave us floundering trying to get it right. While this can feel hopeless at times, I deeply believe in our ability to learn, grow, connect, and change. Together, we start with organizing what you're experiencing, we deepen our understanding of it, and ultimately we begin to walk toward a more peaceful, empowered, and authentic life.

I work with men and women who are tired of feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, relationship conflict, anxiety, or a version of themselves that clearly is not working anymore. Many of my clients are struggling in relationships, questioning their marriage, going through divorce, or realizing they cannot keep pretending everything is fine. I work best with people who genuinely want their lives to change, even if they feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start. My approach is direct, practical, compassionate, and occasionally humorous, because sometimes therapy is funny. I value honesty, accountability, and actual effort toward change.

Feeling down or anxious? Maybe you are hard on yourself and want to stop, but can't. Maybe something difficult happened to you, or world events have disrupted your ability to function. You're not alone, and you're welcome with me. I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS)-trained psychodynamic therapist. That means that I am guided by the therapeutic relationship itself, and I trust that there is an innate healing force within each of us that emerges naturally as each part of us is fully heard and understood.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As humans, we all struggle with coping sometimes. Coping could be more challenging because of chronic illness, pain, neurodiversity, anxiety, and depression. My fellow zebras may be familiar with the saying coined by Theodore Woodward, “When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras,” which is commonly taught to doctors. This saying often results in individuals feeling invalidated and questioning their symptoms. Invalidation and lack of support can leave individuals feeling isolated. As a therapist, I aim to assist my clients with building coping mechanisms and providing emotional support.

Sexual dysfunction, relationship difficulties, self-worth and trauma can be anxious topics to explore for many people. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to improve your sex life, self worth, your relationships, as well as to provide a calm, comfortable space to explore underlying issues. Also, I connect with doctors and physical therapists to provide all inclusive care. As a side note, you do not have to be struggling with sexual dysfunctions to see me. I have a speciality in trauma and love to work on building healthy relationships (with the self/and or others).

During times of stress and transition, seeking therapy can be a source of support, comfort, and even inspiration. My experience has focused on creative and body-centered approaches to growth and healing, including art therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga, dreamwork, and EMDR. This includes grief work and issues that accompany trauma-related treatment, such as anxiety, depression, and existential/spiritual issues. Additional themes in clients' healing work include explorations of relationships, sexuality, and identity. I love working co-creatively with clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Experiencing trauma, stress, anxiety, life transitions, or depression can feel overwhelming and isolating. Taking this first step toward seeking support is an act of courage, and I deeply honor the strength it takes to begin this journey. Healing is not about having all the answers; it’s about showing up for yourself, one step at a time. Together, we can explore your story, gently work through emotions, and create a path toward greater peace and fulfillment. My own journey of navigating two cultures, born in Mexico and raised in Washington State, shaped my passion for helping others feel seen, understood, and supported.

Welcome! Our work together will be dynamic, reflective, and creative, with dashes of humor, invitations to try new things, and together finding concrete ways to help you feel better. My main approaches to working with others are through a feminist, non-directive lens; one in which I follow the lead of the client, listen, ask questions, make observations, and also speak of the Narrative you frame your life in. As a writer and one who utilizes Narrative and Poetic therapy, language and the frames we characterize ourselves in are true for us.

Maybe you're a high achiever, people pleaser, or quiet leader who looks calm on the outside while quietly carrying anxiety, self-doubt, or the mental load of everyone around you. You might be navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship stress, or a major career transition and wondering why pushing harder doesn't seem to help anymore.

Life can be complicated, and sometimes it helps to have a space where you can slow down, be yourself, and talk things through. Whether you're navigating everyday stress, relationships, parenting, life transitions, or the ups and downs of growing up, therapy can offer support, insight, and connection along the way. My approach is relaxed, collaborative, and centered around you. I’m not here to tell you who you should be. Instead, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.
