I am a Bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked with adults, families, prenatal women, children and teenagers for over 14 years.
We all experience difficulties in life that challenge us, and perhaps even throw us off on our journey. Perhaps we feel stagnant with where we are in life right now. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship issues, life changes, or women's issues, you don't need to struggle alone. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you to bring awareness to your inner strengths to better navigate through this phase of your life.

My experience includes over ten years of working with young children, school age children, adolescents, adults, and families.
As a Christian counselor, my role as your therapist is to listen non-judgmentally and compassionately and help you create the changes needed to lead a peaceful, fulfilling life. My approach to accomplishing this is to keep our work God-centered and biblically-based, and to provide you with the tools you need to implement realistic, tangible changes. It is difficult enough to discuss sensitive, private life experiences and challenges without the added stress of feeling the need to guard ones' spiritual beliefs. Rest assured that this is a safe place to share all of the issues weighing on your mind, heart, and soul.

Therapy can help to decrease stress or anxiety, improve communication in relationships and make a positive shift in your overall well-being.

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative effort. I strive to build on the strengths of my clients and help them to develop plans to achieve their goals.
