*Accepting new clients. I specialize in working with clients to overcome depression, anxiety and relationship concerns. Communicating with our spouse, parents, children or loved ones can often be a struggle. “I didn’t say that. That’s not what I meant. You don’t understand me.” Any of these sound familiar? Developing communication skills, creating healthy boundaries in relationships and managing conflict effectively are essential skills. Empowering individuals and supporting their families during this journey is at the core of my delivery of care.

What do we get from therapy? We must get something, correct? The answer is not straightforward or simple, since each of us will have to assemble or even invent that answer ourselves. In therapy, an encounter emerges, a space, a singular one energized by the need we have to feel better. An encounter with words, sentences, signifiers, even memories that will help us approach the pain. Yes, the emotional pain that at this time is not letting you live at your fullest.

You may be experiencing a variety of overwhelming emotions, some of which could be contributing to anxiety, depression or showing up in your interpersonal relationships. This may have created the potential opportunity for you to begin your healing process. It is my intention to assist you in this journey.

Accepting new clients. My style is to help my clients feel welcome in the counseling session. It is important, my clients feel safe and accepted because talking to someone about your fears, anxieties, and habits can become uncomfortable quickly. As a counselor, my role is to help you overcome this struggle and look past the stigma, so it is apart of your story and you can grow into the best version of you. You are the expert in your life and I am looking forward to working together.

I use a client centered approach to support individuals, couples, and families. Shouldn't all approaches be client centered? The short answer is YES! The term "client centered" refers to a counseling technique. It means that I welcome you into the process as the unique individual that you are. You enter the counseling relationship with your own perspective, based on your life history and relationship experiences. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I will work together with you to identify the strategies that best support your specific goals for therapy with an emphasis on goal driven, cognitive-behavioral approaches.

My goal in therapy is to be a support to you & help you find a solution by strengthening the foundation. I always say "you will leave with something & leave something behind". With my direct approach I hope to see that the people I work with get support in what they need to address & feel that they have tools to work on future concerns. Available in Spanish.
