I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked in both Mexico and the United States. I have over 20 years of experience in individual, couples, family and group therapy. I believe I am personally warm, understanding, emphatic, patient, caring, and compassionate with clients. And feel strongly that the nature of human beings tends toward growth and harmony. Along the way, the natural ability to self-regulate may unfortunately be interrupted. However, through the path of self-awareness, and self-responsibility we are able to restore our natural abilities and utilize our full potential, and live healthy life.

We are here to thrive, not just survive. As a licensed therapist, Shamanic practitioner and former bodyworker, I am here to help the soul searchers, truth seekers, and those on a quest to rediscover their authentic selves towards overall health and healing. I will support you on your journey to shed the layers of fear, shame, trauma and pain. I will help you on your spiritual or self healing journey, providing additional support as you encounter life's challenges. When the walls come down, and the truth of the authentic self begins to emerge, it may be difficult, but we will move through it together. We will identify triggers and blockages, and look into things such as unhealthy attachments, cognitive distortions (negative thoughts) and “less than healthy” belief systems. It doesn’t matter whether they came from trauma in childhood, abuse, unhealthy relationships, grief or loss, I am here to help. By identifying, processing, and releasing that which no longer serves you will allow the true healing to finally begin and set your feet on the path you were meant to walk.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 38 years. I enjoy working with adults of all ages. One of my specialties, is working with care-givers who have had a family member diagnosed with dementia.

I help you to balance the role of care-giver, while still maintaining a sense of your self. I will assist you to to get the necessary support, information, and resources to meet your own needs and maintain good self-care. Whether you are caring for a parent, spouse, child or friend, you deserve to have support focused on you.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and find more helpful ways of living. I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs and cultural backgrounds to help attain the personal growth you're striving for.

Sometimes it's helpful if your therapist has a base knowledge of aspects of your culture so you don't have to explain everything. Between cultural elements of the LGBTQ community, to intersectionality experiences for persons of color, my background and training aid in this understanding.

You might have an idea of how you'd like things to be different, but need a little help with knowing how to change. Maybe you are experiencing negative thoughts and overwhelming feelings, perhaps struggling to enjoy your relationships or are burning yourself out at work. You'd like to feel more at ease with yourself, more self-assured, and better able to get through a day with optimism about the future. It's easy to get stuck in certain mental, emotional, or behavioral patterns, and together we can untangle what is holding those patterns in place.

Often my clients have been in traditional talk therapy but something still felt missing or unaddressed. They come to me looking to deepen their mental and emotional well being with something more. Most of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people pleasing, and/or boundary setting. Nearly all of my clients have experienced something in their lives that's left them changed in some way such as unhealthy romantic relationships, chronic illness, or a traumatic childhood.

Life is full of surprises and not all should handle alone. It's human to feel overwhelmed with work demands, adapting to a new country, navigating peripartum, managing family life, or facing relationship challenges. It's challenging to experience self-doubt or pursue unachievable perfection. Feelings of anxiety, sadness, trouble sleeping, or impacts of past traumas might arise, making life much more difficult. This is where therapy can make a significant difference, offering a space for self-reflection and strengthening your relationship with yourself and others.
