Struggling with an Eating Disorder is a complex experience that deeply impacts us psychologically, interpersonallly, physically and emotionally. In the short term, the behaviors provide a sense of relief from painful life experiences. They "dull" the effects of trauma, oppression, interpersonal distress and intense emotions. They often help us cope with core wounds around not belonging, not feeling good enough, not feeling safe in our bodies and not having a sense of agency. The process of recovery can feel terrifying- like giving up a life raft. At the same time, the life raft begins to make us feel stuck, isolated and hopeless.

Are you feeling frustrated, confused, stressed, depressed, or lost? Are you working to create more meaning, fulfillment, and happiness in your life? Living a human life means learning to live with the human condition. That means challenges with mortality, relationships, conflict, emotionality, suffering, and change, among others. Therapy can help you respond to life events that may be challenging and confusing, events you may not be equipped to address. It can support the development of insight and behavior change to navigate life challenges in novel ways.

Courage, dear heart, as life will present you with surprises and in time, you will manage each one with bravery. Our families can push our boundaries; our relationships can challenge us; and our careers can stretch us so thin. Negative self-thoughts can keep us in our heads and repeating old patterns can feel like a roller coaster of emotions. Past traumas can intrude our present; social injustices can break our community down; and gender and cultural inequalities can be an exhausting battle. Our self-care can plummet and suddenly we are not our first priority. However, you are leaning in today and making an investment in YOU!

Our society teaches us to value independence, confidence and productivity – sometimes to the detriment of personal relationships and our own sense of self-worth. Almost daily we are bombarded with narrowly defined gender roles, and ‘rules’ around how we should look, act, think and feel. I enjoy collaborating with clients to reconsider the boundaries of their lives, how they create meaningful relationships, and in doing so, identify their preferred ways of engaging with the world around them. I have been a therapist for 10 years and in 2023 founded Avani Counseling, which serves clients all over California.

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.

You know that feeling.. Where you just don't feel like yourself. The demands of your life are feeling overwhelming and you feel like you have no idea what to do. You are tired and feel as if you are stuck in the same unhealthy cycles that cause you to feel helpless or hopeless. You have goals that you set for yourself last year that you never managed to get started on and your avoidance grows even stronger. Your relationships seem to be significant sources of stress in your life that hardly ever reach resolutions.
