As a bilingual Latino clinician, I have successfully used my clinical skills by applying Cognitive Behavior Therapy interventions and Motivational Interviewing, with individuals experiencing depression, PTSD and anxiety. My passion for clinical work, along with my interpersonal skills, has made me effective at building rapport with clients as they move through burnout, life transitions and through the stages of change. My ability to connect with clients at each step of the treatment process has helped them achieve successful outcomes, symptom stabilization, and self determination.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Tearing up or having crying spells? Family, relationships or work becoming more challenging? Or maybe, past situations are now causing feelings of sadness, anger, or shame because you can't forget the memory though you try. These are things that many people deal with on daily basis, however you don't have to do it alone. Therapy is an opportunity to learn ways of coping with things that can be emotionally draining. Counseling is not only what I do, but what I love! You will have the opportunity to share your thoughts in an environment free from judgment or criticism.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, our approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". we strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. We specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.
