Your problems have a secret language. They float around, waiting to be translated from “this is what’s holding me back” into “here is what is helping me to grow.” You see, they are more than things you take to therapy, they can help you to realize your potential. It sounds nice, but what’s the catch. There is none, because you are already your own healer, even if these words sound vague. You’ve developed the ability to translate your patterns into understanding. You know the power of insight. Through therapy, we can take things one step further from knowledge into wisdom.

Are you struggling with overthinking, perfectionism or self-doubt? Have you noticed that you’re just not enjoying life very much and your relationships (including with yourself) are suffering? Life is hard enough, add overwhelming emotions, relationship problems and difficulty coping with daily stressors and it can all become too much. If you find you’re going through the motions or pretending to be okay when you're not, maybe you've wondered if there’s a better way. I’d like to help you make meaningful change now for a better life, using practical and effective strategies.

Please note: Currently only doing telehealth. "The brave man (or person) is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." (Nelson Mandela) Journeying through life is not supposed to be a solitary endeavor. I have found that in times of joy and pain, it is better to have it shared with others. I value the courage that it takes to be willing to open up and explore inwardly and relationally. I provide a safe and validating environment for those who want to personally grow, explore relationship dynamics, or seek support with mental health issues.

Psychologically speaking, why do we do what we do? Where are we coming from . . . what are we moving toward . . . and how are we proceeding? Do our impulses, our actions or reactions, our habits, our thoughts, judgments, interpretations, or even our intentions support or lead to what we imagine to be our "happiness?"
I work with individuals, couples, and families in short- and long-term psychotherapy. Some clients prefer brief "solution-focused" therapy to help them with specific short-term issues, while others want to work more deeply toward longer-lasting growth and transformation.

I am a millennial therapist and life coach dedicated to empowering women to find their path, embrace their uniqueness, and live life on their terms. I specialize in helping individuals facing life-altering shifts such as divorce, breakups, career changes, and parenthood. As a First-Gen Latina, I understand the pressure many of us face to meet certain cultural and societal timelines. We get trapped in a vicious cycle of anxious, negative thought patterns, debilitating stress and worry, and unnecessary pressure to meet others’ expectations or follow a path that is not our own.

Creating a safe environment and atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and at ease is an important first step in our process.

Finding meaning in our lives, healing, and becoming whole again, as well as thriving (not just surviving) in daily life are examples of potential goals for our time together. Within that framework, we will customize our work to meet and embrace your unique personality and needs.

We all have hard times and moments of loneliness, but a good support system helps us be resilient. We all deserve support and care as we work through things, but reaching out to friends and loved ones can be scary. If you're having trouble finding or keeping support and intimacy, or if you feel consumed by fears and low self-esteem, then it can be hard to get the connection and love you deserve. As a marriage and family therapist, I can help. I focus on helping my clients create close, supportive relationships with their loved ones, (and with themselves) so that they have the support they need to overcome challenges and flourish.

So you want to go to therapy because you keep hearing from everyone and their dog that it really works and can make you "feel better" or "unstuck". Problem is, you have very little idea what therapy actually is and are hesitant about talking to a stranger and telling them things about yourself that you think are (for lack of a better word) fucked up. Well, you're not alone in that thought. In fact, I'd say a majority of people are in that boat as the most frequent question I get asked is: "am I weird because I do so and so?" and "is it normal that I do such and such?". Most of us think we're weirdos and everyone else is normal.

Are you struggling to manage your child’s behavior? Do you want to have more consistent, peaceful and effortless routines and schedules for yourself and for your child? Are you wondering if your child will ever grow out of throwing tantrums, or one day start eating wider variety of food? Are you tired, overwhelmed, feel like there just isn't enough time in the day? Parents are being uncharacteristically challenged in the current environment, and finding the balance can be challenging. My practice includes short and long term intervention helping individuals and parents identify and attain goals using the principal of ABA.
