I often describe therapy similar to the saying "everyone has baggage". It can be difficult to hold your own baggage while sorting the contents, trying to organize the things inside, or trying to find something you lost. My role is to hold your baggage to allow you the space, time, and understanding to do what you need to with what is inside.

Additional trainings include Narcissistic Abuse & Gaslighting Treatment Course.
Welcome. I offer Therapy for Healing from Complicated Pasts, Presents and Relationships. I help people with the difficult events and relationships in their lives: issues from childhood that are holding you back, a current difficulty with a partner or spouse, a divorce, or a trauma that just keeps tripping you up. You don't have to recount the worst things that have happened to you for therapy to work. We will start with where you want to be, how you want to feel and make a plan from there.

I will actively use my training and experience to help you meet your needs & goals. Successful treatment is a direct result of mutual efforts, honesty, respect, and collaboration. Life is full of transitions. Many transitions require skill to navigate. Some happen easily and others require thought, planning and occasionally outside help. I regularly help people manage depression, anxiety, life & work transitions, relationship problems, the processing of and recovery from trauma, and developmental issues throughout the lifespan.

You might be feeling “stuck”, or like a part of your story still affects you more than you’d like it to. Maybe what you’ve been doing just isn’t working anymore, and you’re struggling to move forward. In therapy, we’ll work together to help you find meaning, peace, and a more effective way out of the behaviors that just aren't working for you anymore. I’ve learned that everybody has a story, usually one of resilience, compassion, and courage— and my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, space for you to share yours.

Furthermore, I also work with religious trauma, attachment trauma, sexual violence, complex grief, cPTSD, and much more.
I am EMDR-trained, and while EMDR is the theory I practice most, I am also trained in a handful of other approaches, such as Gestalt, Psychodynamic theory, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and person-centered theory. I also draw on theories such as IFS, Expressive Arts, EFT, DBT, and Somatic approaches.

Concentration in Trauma and Abuse, certificate of completion for the Narrative Focused Trauma Care at The Allender Center, as well as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) Certification.
Therapy offers a unique opportunity to engage you and the stories that have shaped you – to explore with curiosity and kindness, to be seen and heard, to heal and grow. Clients express a growing desire for more beyond familiar experiences that leave them feeling stuck or exhausted. They find that the courage to honestly tend to current hopes and struggles, including their past, to be a significant and meaningful decision. Relationships are deeply impactful in our lives, contributing to our development as well as our wounding; it is relationship that also fosters a foundation for healing and change.

Opening up around the intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

Choosing a therapist is an act of courage, and I honor the trust it takes to reach out. My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique story. I believe that healing happens in a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood—without judgment or pressure to be anything other than who you are.

As a counselor, I am experienced and devoted to supporting individuals, children, teens, couples and families who present with a variety of concerns including relationship issues, spiritual trauma/ abuse, adjustment issues, crisis, loss and grief, fears, depression, relational issues, negative self-talk, family conflict, the need for coping skills, self-esteem and self-worth struggles, life transitions, anxiety, childhood trauma/recent trauma in adults and children, and those wanting to explore their cultural identity and issues of spirituality.
I like to focus on using a Person-centered/strength-based approach when in a therapeutic relationship with my clients. I also draw on using Psychoanalysis to examine the way our conscious and unconscious mind interact. I also draw from Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Existential Therapy. I have created a space where your voice matters.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist and first-generation immigrant who deeply believes in hope—the kind that keeps playing like music even when we cannot hear it. I believe in each person’s innate ability to find peace within themselves and in their relationships. I am passionate about the ripple effect of healing and how it can be passed from one generation to the next. I recognize that the world does not always make space for us to fully be who we are. In therapy, I enjoy walking alongside my clients as they explore who they are to themselves, who they are seen as, and who they are becoming.

Do you ever feel lonely even when you are not alone? You might have friends, a job, responsibilities, and still feel misunderstood, out of place, or like you're performing in every room you enter. Forming close friendships or romantic relationships may feel harder than it “should.” You may overthink conversations, replay interactions, or quietly wonder why connection feels easier for everyone else. I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, loneliness, social stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and. much more. Together, we'll slow things down and make sense of the patterns that keep you stuck!

Be easy. Take your time. You are coming home to yourself (Nayirrah Waheed). You taking a step towards your own liberation and healing is a brave act of self-love. Pain and trauma enter our lives through relationship and through the stories we’ve been told and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Therapy can be an authentic space to gently enter into these stories in order to cultivate new ones and bring insight, healing and a way forward. I work with folks experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, relational ruptures, and life and identity transitions.
