All of us, at one time or another, need a little guidance in navigating life. I work with children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, and everyday life issues. Ships don't sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down. -Unknown

Everyone wants to live life free to be who they are without feelings of inadequacy or guilt. The uncertainties present in today's climate show that even our children are not exempt. Societal pressures can affect the way we view ourselves and our contributions. Trusting yourself enough to know that you are doing your best at any given moment is critical to enduring these trying times.

I particularly enjoy working with the Hispanic/Latino Culture, as I speak fluent English/Spanish. However, I enjoy helping all children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who want to heal, grow, and learn. I see clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, problems related to a trauma, phase of life issues, and relationship dilemmas. Because of my extensive knowledge of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Selective Mutism, and other learning disorders, I often see clients who want to learn to manage their symptoms to have a more successful life outcome. I enjoy working with clients who are engaged and motivated.

I am trained in trauma work and have worked with many children, teens and adults who have experienced trauma and need to process that trauma so that they can be free.
If you are looking at this page you are taking the first brave step toward help. Distress is not a choice, but getting help is. I believe that therapy is about change, hope and reconnection. Often times devastation of betrayal, abandonment, divorce, disease, or death can change you instantly. Your struggle is part of your story and I want to hear it. Perhaps anger, depression and anxiety are constant companions. Sometimes others only see what we allow them to see and that is just the tip of the iceberg, the real pain and emotions are below the surface. Past trauma or current stressful life situations can make us feel stuck.

Creating change is about embracing your future, not beating yourself (or others) up over the past. As a therapist, I focus on helping you figure out what "better" looks like and identifying the quickest route to get us there. Once we have that identified, I'll act as counselor, coach and traveling companion as you journey down that road. I'll be a fresh set of eyes that helps you figure out when you're being too hard on yourself and when you need to take a hard look in the mirror.
