Many of my clients are children who struggle with:* Attention and Learning Issues *Anxiety, Sadness or Mood Swings * A hyper sensitivity to people and the environment. Traditional therapies include medication or "cognitive" approaches. But these approaches do not directly address the fact that often the brain is stuck in an unsuccessful pattern that the conscious mind may not be able to change. My program integrates psychotherapy and coaching with Brain Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) to change these brain patterns and increase calmness, balance, and self regulation.

I wholeheartedly believe you can achieve a life filled with inner peace and fulfillment and that individuals tend to pursue therapy when they have exhausted their ideas and internal resources to accomplish this.

I'm so glad you're here and thinking about taking a chance on yourself! You may have been questioning whether therapy is right for you and I'm here to tell you, that is completely normal. I work with a lot of individuals who are trying therapy for the first time. Many people come to therapy due to feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, or anger. And many people stick around to figure out more about themselves and to work on creating a life that is worth living to them. I would love to support you in exploring what that looks like for you.

Have past therapies not worked and are you back to dealing with the same patterns that cause you to feel disconnected? Using the modalities of Relational Life Therapy and the Enneagram, a typology tool, I help you deal with those parts of you that don't want to do the skills you have learned in other therapies. My approach is compassionate and honest with the intention of helping you become mindfully aware of that which keeps you stuck and frustrated in order to guide you towards improved self-awareness and a more fulfilling life of connection, understanding, and love.

Hello! I am clinical psychologist with over ten years of experience. Trained as a generalist, I have worked across diverse settings, including community health, the VA healthcare system, inpatient and residential settings, and various educational settings. I am also bilingual and bicultural and provide services in English and Spanish to adolescents and adults. I have extensive training in evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/).

Do you feel burdened or like you are not able to live life with freedom, joy and peace? Whether we have hurts from the past or anxiety and depression that seem overwhelming; it can be helpful to have someone there who understands and provides non-judgmental, supportive feedback. When we experience challenges, crisis and difficult circumstances; important goals in therapy are learning to identify how our thoughts trigger our emotions and developing coping skills to process them.

I help people find solutions that enable them to make THE lasting positive changes they are longing for. Have questions about your career, family relationships, romance, or even your direction in life? Feeling stuck, like you keep hitting the same wall? … I can help! By finding healthy ways to deal with anxiety, anger, fear, and low self-esteem, my clients find more joy and peace in their lives.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience working with children to older adults, I have had the honor of seeing the power of human connection and supporting people in various walks of life. Currently, I work with young adults, adults and some couples on issues such as fertility, mood and anxiety disorders (including those during the perinatal period). I also work with adults struggling with self esteem, body image and adjustment issues (new parents and students leaving or returning from college).

Whether you’re grappling with intimate relationship issues, evolving familial dynamics, the pain of grief, or other challenges, my goal is to provide empathetic support and helpful strategies. I hope to collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that is sustainable, effective, and empowering. With an understanding of how frustrating it can be when others make assumptions about your personal issues, I focus on creating a space where clients can share their narratives without being judged or minimized.

We are a team of mindfully aware, always evolving therapists that show up authentically as our full selves. We believe in working with the whole person and helping you dismantle the beliefs of the past that no longer serve you. If you are not feeling your optimal self notice that, that awareness is the first step to getting you back on your path. Our approach is empowering that allows people to come as they are. Many people today are stressed, overwhelmed, and trapped in the fast pace lifestyle which puts our nervous system out of balance.

In these very challenging and demanding times, more than ever people are confronted with feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. My approach to therapy is to help them identify the thoughts and feelings that are the cause of these problems to help restore the peace and balance in their lives. I will provide you with the knowledge and emotional support you need to understand yourself and the issues that bring you to therapy. From a gentle and caring perspective, I integrate leading evidence-based practices within a mindfulness framework to offer you greater awareness and the possibility to make the changes that you want.
