It's hard to be happy when your life is out of balance: You feel down or sad. The activities you used to enjoy are no longer fun. You have no energy. Everything stresses you out. You feel like crying. You want to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in with you. Maybe you're hurt and angry over a relationship. Maybe you're a teenager whose parents don't understand you or you're the parent of a kid who's making dangerous choices. Maybe you're a young adult who has discovered that "adulting" is a lot harder than you thought.

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed associate counselor (LAC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist for Families. I love to work collaboratively with my clients and their families, and I feel honored to be a part of their growth and self-enhancement. I am a proud Tucson native and a Mexican American woman who can communicate fluently with families in Spanish through speaking, reading, and writing. My light continues to grow as I witness children and families build resilience through healing from their difficult life experiences.

Welcome! I am glad you are here and it takes courage to take that first step to reach out for support, especially if you might be feeling depressed, anxious, or paralyzed with fear of how to move forward. Sometimes, we may find ourselves in unexpected situations, toxic relationships or work environments, trapped in addiction, or find ourselves stuck in self-sabatoge or repeating the same unhealthy patterns. You might feel alienated, alone, or unable to open up to friends or family. Counseling can help you navigate difficult situations, help you gain clarity, and begin to heal and move forward with life again.

Current Immediate Availability. It starts so small. Some frustration here, some outbursts there, avoiding situations that trigger uncomfortable emotions, occasional episodes of sadness or anxiety. Gradually it gets worse. Suddenly you find little joy in life, you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror, and you are spending the days feeling stuck in the intensity of these emotions and thoughts that control your life. Maybe you are watching your child experience these things and are feeling helpless seeing them struggle. It is time for change, time for healing, but you just are not sure how or where to start.

Do you want more out of life, and yet feel like something holds you back? Many possess great strengths and goals (even if they are hidden or buried), and yet struggle with anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors. Many have experienced significant trauma, or patterns of psychological wounding. Perhaps you've felt like trauma defines you. Can these traumas/wounds give you strength, experience, and resilience, instead of interfering in your life and love? There are relationships to find or improve. There are projects and interests to pursue. Many are grieving a major loss or change and need skilled, present, and ethical support.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working as a depth psychologist. I enjoy working with people to find meaningful insights and fresh perspectives in effort to break old patterns of life experiences such as dissatisfying relationships, loneliness, unhappiness, fear of failure, feeling misunderstood, emotional hurt, disappointment, loss, depression and/or anxiety. I strive to create the feeling of being well understood so that we may proceed together in exploring and uncovering what lies beneath the initial symptoms that are presented. From there, I hope that effective and lasting changes eventually take place.

Are you stressed out or feeling down? I I use Emotional Freedom Techniques and other energy psychotherapy to deactivate the obsessions, the worries, and the urge to do the compulsion in those with OCD; to deactivate negative thoughts, even suicidal ideation; deactivate the mindreading of a person with social anxiety, along with negative body image; process trauma and whichever mental health issues it causes, PTSD, Depression, anxiety disorders, etc; and relieve pain (not cure the condition) pain management only. Otherwise, I use Cognitive challenging, Cognitive restructuring, EMDR, and/or Mindfulness for some clients/patients.

The essence of my counseling approach is that I know each person to be whole and unique regardless of what is currently being experienced. I help clients focus on areas of difficulty with kind acceptance. Knots of anxiety, depression and unhappiness unravel and resolve into greater peace. One begins to know oneself as bigger than the problem. I teach cognitive behavioral skills of mindfulness, centering and focusing to allow a greater repertoire of responses to habitual problem areas. I provide a safe place to explore one's deeper self and resolve issues that block happiness and the realization of potential.

In the first session I focus on what is on your mind, knowing there may be more to discover. My experience is with a wide range of problems, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, work. Sometimes we move quickly. Other times we must take our time, patiently and with compassion. We talk about what you tell me, how this shows up in sessions, and we add important links from the past. The therapy has a foundation both in my expertise and in our forming a unique relationship with respect for what each of us brings to the work.
