I work with women who have recently experienced a traumatic event and help them return to a sense of normal. I also work with women who have experienced traumas in the distant past but who have been feeling chronically anxious, depressed, out of control and/or hopeless. Perhaps you cannot remember the last time you did not feel anxious or depressed. Or perhaps your body being in stress for so many years has created health issues. Or perhaps you have turned to compulsive behaviors to escape or numb the pain such as over drinking, over eating, perfectionism, codependency, dieting, binge watching TV and more.

Bilingual (Spanish & English) services– Life can be difficult sometimes, when we experience anxiety, stress, sadness, and continuous disappointment or failure. Sometimes we manage to overcome them and other times we get used to living with those difficult emotions and negative thoughts, which negatively impact the way we perceive ourselves and the world. It shouldn't be like this! Suffering is inherent to life, however, it should not be greater than growth and satisfaction.

You’re tired of feeling ruled by this anxiety or uncertainty. From the outside, your life looks good—you have a lot to be proud of. But something still isn’t right: you might feel anxious, have trouble making decisions, or unfulfilled and disconnected in your relationships. You’re constantly criticizing yourself, second-guessing that text message you sent or what others are thinking of you. Somehow, it’s like life is happening to you, instead of you being the one in control. And although you’ve tried to address this on your own through things like journaling or mindfulness practices, you still just don’t feel like yourself.

You may be experiencing disconnection from yourself, depression, anxiety, confusion, or simply feeling that something is "off" or missing in life. I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy to help you reconnect with yourself and resolve longstanding challenges around relationships, self-esteem, family dynamics, or anything else that needs attention and care. My work is informed by my understanding of the interconnectedness of all things (both the seen and unseen). I believe that psyche (soul) communicates with us through symbol and synchronicity - and that we can listen through symbolic languages like astrology, dreams, tarot, and omens.

These have included psychological challenges such as depression and anxiety, as well as behavioral challenges such as adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors and a healthy lifestyle. Although these problems often call for different approaches, they share some important elements. We often end up feeling badly about our own thoughts, feelings, or actions and they often do not seem to make sense.
