Creating a new awareness of self in relationship to the world around you increases your ability to maintain focus and direction. Developing new relationships with your thoughts & feelings is what Mindfulness-Based therapy is about. As a licensed therapist, I use Mindfulness-based counseling processes to assist people in coping with the struggles of daily life. I have an integrative approach to counseling, focusing on your needs and concerns. I look forward to assisting you to discover more about you!

You are only human. This means needing secure, safe attachments with others in order to thrive. You want freedom from addiction, anxiety, depression, or trauma. You’re experiencing conflicts in your most important relationships. These problems often block us from feeling confident or thinking clearly. You may be out of energy trying to fix what's not working and need a new perspective to resolve these difficulties. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I support individuals and relationships through solution-focused and strengths-based approaches.

Many people seek therapy because they feel stuck, they need help recognizing and removing the road blocks so they can create the lives and relationships they want. I work collaboratively with my clients to do just that, to help them better understand themselves and their struggles so they are free to build the lives they want.

Welcome! I work with communication issues, trust issues, infidelity, intimacy issues, LGBTQIA+ couples and couples practicing ENM/polyamory. I also work with couples practicing kink/BDSM. I am a queer and neurodivergent therapist, and I have specialized experience working with ADHD and autism in the context of relationships and mixed-neurotype couples. I love to see my couples walking out of my office holding hands, looking at each other with more gratitude, with a new hope for the future. I have a trauma informed approach that helps my couples understand the origins of their thoughts and behavior within the relationship.

My experiences in the past have taught me the importance of witnessing great pain and great joy. I believe we cannot have one without the other. I want to equip my clients with the hope that it is normal to feel any and every kind of emotion but also give them tools to cope effectively and learn from those emotions.

I utilize body-based techniques with traditional talk therapy to approach emotional obstacles from multiple angles. I work in a collaborative, strengths-based approach where clients can explore all parts of themselves. I assist clients in accessing inner resilience and clarifying personal values to live a meaningful life. People of all genders, sexualities, and relationship types are celebrated here.

My goal as your therapist is to help you create a meaningful and enjoyable life. Whether you come to treatment to manage a pre-existing condition/diagnosis, or are looking to improve the relationships in your life; I am happy to assist you until you get to where you would like to be. In today's society; stress, anxiety, and depression can often take over our health, wellbeing, and relationships leaving one with an unsatisfactory life. In treatment we can explore the obstacles that are causing you pain or are holding you back from your full potential, and work together towards creating happiness and contentment.

My belief is that every human being strives for and has the capacity to fulfill his or her own potential. It is my role to help them realize their potential and believe in themselves to pursue their potential to the fullest.

Hello and Welcome. I have over a decade of practice in individual, adolescent, and couples therapy. I specialize in treating mood or anxiety difficulties, trauma, childhood trauma, relational difficulties, life stressors, or life and identity transitions. My passion is to help you live authentically- experiencing relief, resilience, self-compassion, and increased emotional freedom. We often learn strategies through life to keep us safe, but those strategies may hold us back in our present. It is in our relationships that we learned these strategies; it is through a therapeutic relationship that we re-learn, re-parent, and heal.

I have an integrative approach that is culturally responsive and attends to intersecting identities. I take into account the client's presenting concerns, preferences, and familiarity with therapy and introduce empirically supported interventions to match goals and treatment plans.

Therapy is so much more than the act of talking and assessing the mind. Therapy is a limitless place to explore one’s own reality and how it relates to others, and the world. Therapy can be found in somatic expression, in various forms of art, in connection with nature, and in the healing of self, and relationship with others. As an environmentalist, practitioner of yoga, and dancer, I value both traditional and alternative forms of healing that focus on the utmost well-being of the client(s).

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a wealth of clinical experience working with families and adults. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral treatment lens, with a focus on practical and applicable steps to improve my clients’ mental health. I am a married mother of two young boys, one of whom has autism, and can relate firsthand to the unique challenges of marriage and raising a family in today’s society!

Life is a journey. Along this ride, it may feel like you are stuck in uncertain and dark places longer than you'd like to be. If you're looking for a tune up to help you feel limitless, to regain your stride, I'm here to embark on this healing chapter with you. Whether that be burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship stressors, there can be many unexpected barriers along the way.

I grew up in Lake Tahoe, CA, surrounded by the beauty of nature, which gave me a holistic view of health and a love for the outdoors. My journey initially led me to pursue a career in acting, but a transformative experience working with a Nutritionist and CBT Therapist ignited my passion for psychology. I completed my Bachelor's at NYU with a focus on Psychology, Narrative Writing, and Child and Adolescent Mental Health studies. Now, as a Therapist Trainee at the Center for Mental Health Excellence (CFMHE), I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges and foster meaningful connections.

I believe everyone has room to grow and improve themselves and their lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, sadness, trauma, or have concerns about your relationships, I've found working through that process together can be incredibly rewarding and empowering. My therapy superpower is that people quickly feel comfortable talking to me - helping others through their journey by using an authentic, non-judgmental, and open-minded approach to therapy is my passion.

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.

I have been helping men, women, and teens work through a variety of mental health concerns for the last 14 years, with a specialized focus in working with trauma and addictions. Creating space for curiosity and compassion towards parts of ourselves that have been helping us cope, I love the opportunity to help people pay attention to their experience in new ways and find freedom from the things that have kept them feeling stuck.
