Everyone needs someone to talk to. I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, oppositional behavior, school refusal, and developmental disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorder. My professional experience is working with children and families with complex behavioral and emotional needs. I utilize strategies from both the Nurtured Heart Approach and culturally sensitive trauma informed care. My previous experience includes serving both English and Spanish speaking populations, and I am a Native Spanish speaker myself.

People who are motivated to secure change in their lives are my ideal clients. We all get stuck but if we stay focused on the problem we will stay stuck. My goal is to move from problem to solution. Whether struggling with depression, anxiety, family issues or just trying to be our best selves in this extremely challenging environment we can all use support and help. Sometimes just verbalizing the issues to a non-judgmental professional allows the client to recognize that they are stuck and motivates them to make changes with the support and guidance that I as a therapist can provide.

Thank you for viewing my page and I hope I can help you on the path towards healing and personal growth. I strive to create a safe, genuine, and empathic space for clients to explore their inner experiences. I have expertise in working with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma/post-traumatic stress including complex trauma, relationship issues, reproductive health and infertility, life cycle changes including college transitions, new motherhood, and grief and loss. I have postgraduate certification in integrative trauma studies and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

I am in-network with Aetna and Horizon BCBS. When you feel empty, or like there’s no one to talk to, you can trust that in our work together, I’ll meet you in those moments — free of judgement and full of compassion. I have had the privilege to provide therapy for a diverse group of clients with a variety of mental health issues such as navigating life transitions, struggles with self-esteem, depression, low mood, as well as anxiety.

Do you need to talk to someone with no judgement? no shame? in a safe place? I dont blame you! Most of us do! I work with a safe, warm, supportive unconditional regard with my patients to help them navigate life's journey. I specialize in using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Self Compassion which are interventions that can be enormously helpful to navigate difficult relationships, work issues, severe anxiety and depression. I also have a lot of experience working with Cancer dx. You do not have to be alone anymore; I am here to listen, empower, and support you.

The best psychotherapy builds upon a solid relationship between a client and therapist, allowing the client to take risks in examining themselves, acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses, process painful memories and use their strengths to create change. In my therapeutic work I focus on nurturing that relationship to facilitate my client's change and self-acceptance. I am well trained in psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic therapy and family/couples therapy as well as cognitive-behavioral and short term therapy techniques and use what my clients and I believe will best facilitate their goals in treatment.

I appreciate the uniqueness of every individual and situation and can adapt my approach to what will be most effective in treating the underlying issue causing distress. I am passionate and enthusiastic about helping clients to move out of what isn't working for them and empower them to reach their goals. I love watching clients learn skills to help them move out of depression and anxiety to higher levels of functioning. I especially enjoy working with couples in distress and help them get to a place where their relationship is a source of comfort rather than stress.

Searching for a safe place where you can be unapologetically yourself? Where you can feel heard, validated and understood? I am here to listen empathically, lead you to your innermost thoughts and feelings, and help support you in living your truth and creating a life worth living. BUT- prepare to be challenged and answer tough questions; I will be there to provide comfort and help you cope with whatever answers may come. Nothing is off-limits- I’m here for it all. It takes a lot to ruffle my feathers, so don’t hold back.

There are times in our lives where our struggles become especially difficult and we decide to seek out a therapist to walk a part of the journey with us. Therapy involves a very special kind of listening within the safety of a unique relationship. This special kind of listening is what is essential to my work. The development and transformation of each relationship between me and my client(s) is the creative, healing aspects of our work together.

I help clients through the transitions that come from big changes in their lives, whether it be marriage, graduating and transitioning to adulthood, the death of a loved one, changing careers, or starting families. These transitions or changes can trigger feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, and ambivalence that we work through together by exploring all of the reactions they are having, without judgement. I work hard to build a trusting relationship with my clients by being open, reliable, and curious about their unique experience.

Engaging in therapy can be pivotal towards becoming more self-aware and improving your quality of life and relationships; congratulations on taking this step. Regardless of whether a specific trauma or event leads you to therapy, our work together will focus on who you are in your various environments and relationships, how your personal circumstances led you here, and how you can achieve the future you envision.

We face so many important life challenges- uncertainty, parenting struggles, loss, life transitions or falling "out of sync with” a partner or spouse, to name a few. I provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment for individuals and couples to feel heard and understood, and to work towards desired changes. We'll collaborate to help you reduce your levels of stress, anxiety and/or depression, identifying and activating previously unrecognized strengths. I will challenge your assumptions about your limitations, as well as other negative thoughts, so you can achieve a higher level of functioning and greater emotional freedom.

If you're ready to embrace change, I'd love to support you along your journey. My ideal client would be willing to work together consistently to address any needs, struggles, or issues, to build self-understanding, and to strive toward personal goals and happiness.

My ideal client would be 13-21-year-old males with issues such as depression and anger issues, their goal is to discover their strengths and build positive relationships with family and peers. They want an outlet to talk about their feelings and need an outside source to share too.

I enjoy working with clients who are willing to work with me to get them to where they can thrive in life. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to exploring their past and exploring how they can use that information to better understand themselves on a deeper level. My ideal client wants to improve and change to have a more fulfilling life. I enjoy providing clients with the safe and compassionate environment they might need to process their emotions and past trauma to help begin creating a life worth living.

Are you feeling overwhelmed due to challenges with navigating stressors in life? Are traumatic experiences preventing you from moving forward in life? Are you feeling misunderstood and feel that your voice isn't being heard? Are you stuck and not sure which direction to turn to? Therapy is about being in a safe and non-judgmental space that will consist of addressing these concerns. I will be here to support you in taking proactive steps to improve your overall quality of life.
