I believe in creating a therapeutic environment, which is essential for an individual to be able to express their concerns without judgment. This allows the individual the opportunity to come to an inviting place where one can speak openly and freely about concerns and/or struggles. As a therapist, I assist clients with developing their individualized goals and offer tools that can be implemented in their lives. My goal is to offer guidance and support, so clients can take steps to become the healthiest version of themselves.

In my 11 years of practice, I have experience in the treatment of mental health issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment/relationship issues, behavioral issues, and life transitions. I consider myself an eclectic therapist. I incorporate evidence-based practices into my work with clients and individualize my techniques and approaches to best address their needs. I believe that my clients are the experts in their lives. Therefore, my work starts with understanding each individual client, holistically, to best assist them in meeting their desired goals in therapy.

When you work with me in therapy you might notice that you feel comfortable very quickly, in part, due to my friendliness. If you speak Spanish, we can speak Spanglish and use common sayings or "dichos." I can validate many of your experiences being of Latinx descent and normalize some of these things based on my background being a first-generation child of Mexican immigrants as well as my extensive experience working with people from different Latinx backgrounds. I am very open-minded and know you're the expert in your life. You can share as much as you feel comfortable sharing while we build trust and work through your traumas.

My therapy style is warm and direct. I help clients understand and articulate the challenges they face in a way that is meaningful and useful so that they are better equipped to make real choices that are equally satisfying and sustainable. I provide a space where clients can be truly heard, some for the first time. I specialize in working with individuals, families, and couples who are negotiating complex issues around identity or life transitions, but can also help clients focus on and work through more specific relational challenges that have arisen in their lives. Let's work together to create lasting change.

Navigating life can be extremely stressful. It is important to know you do not need to face these challenges alone, and therapy can be a useful tool to aid in working through difficulties. As a therapist, I am passionate about partnering with clients to help them learn and develop healthy coping and problem-solving skills. I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and build an individualized treatment plan- tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Choosing a therapist can feel like a difficult task, so I wanted to tell you a little about myself to help you decide if I would be a good fit for you. I have over 17 years of professional experience that include trauma, abuse, and the juvenile and adult justice systems. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space, free from judgment or rejection, for you to explore any challenges you may be facing and help you find new skills to deal with them. I know how hard it is to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and I applaud you for taking the first step. I would be honored to work with you.

I have experience working with the aging and disabled populations, those facing difficult health diagnoses, and caregiving challenges. I've also helped people address grief, and past trauma along with supporting those who seek to maintain health, independence, and dignity. My approach marries compassion, experience, and science. The therapeutic relationship is the priority as those who feel safe, validated, and heard are often open to genuine healing. I have been trained in various Evidence-based practices (EBPs) for various issues. I provide services in English and Spanish.

Do you ever feel pressured to “do it all” but feel depleted and stuck? If so, you are in the right place! Whether these feelings stem from relational trauma, perinatal stress, anxiety, or an overall sense of overwhelm, I believe healing is possible. I am a relational therapist who values the mind-body connection and incorporates somatic work (at your comfort level). If you are struggling with a new hormonal or metabolic diagnosis, I also specialize in working with women impacted by Hashimotos, PCOS, and Hypothyroidism. I believe humor and compassion are the perfect pair in the therapeutic setting.

Each person’s journey into therapy is a unique act of courage. I am a California-licensed marriage and family therapist and saw my first therapy client in 2004. I work with individuals in various stages of life and career transitions, stressed college students, people dealing with LGBT, gender identity, and coming out issues, creative writers and artists, and successful professionals overwhelmed with a busy life. With the right practical psychological tools, it's possible to bring a sense of enjoyment back into the routines of daily life. It's not always easy, but it is possible.

Trauma takes many forms; often in the guise of unprocessed grief and loss. Loss of employment, financial insecurity, divorce, separation, domestic violence and abuse; all must be mourned. We become stuck; often not understanding our own reactions to people, places and things. Our partners, children, colleagues and superiors can appear to feel unfairly entitled to what we have to offer. Our ability to tolerate distress is limited.
