"For your best mental health thru the lifespan." Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, or other challenges of modern living, I would like to help you find relief. Taking an integrative and holistic approach that incorporates traditional psychological methods with new innovations in EMDR, energy psychology (EFT), neuroscience, and mindfulness, we will work together to facilitate quick and lasting change. If you have long-standing trauma, depression, or anxiety that has been resistant to other types of treatment, you will receive rapid results using an integrative approach.

Do you carry around old stories of your hurt, betrayal, or heartbreaks? Do you know what it's costing you? You can learn how to release your old stories and upsets, learn to make peace with the past. It's life-changing! I’d love to partner with you in your healing. I can teach you techniques in one session to reduce anxiety on the spot. When you're emotionally hurting, you want an expert who is trained to help you heal and move forward.

Are you looking for relief and freedom from emotional issues such as, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and addiction? I can help you heal from past hurts, traumas, and relationships using the counseling modality that’s right for you. I have more of a solution focused approach as, in my experience, reliving, restating, or retelling the past prevents us from moving forward and keeps us stuck in our story. You have an amazing life to live and too many things to do, to allow your past to dictate your present and future. Freedom is possible!

I am bilingual and I speak English and Spanish. I use EMDR, ART, RTM, MESE, and NLP modalities to decrease trauma, depression, anxiety, and crisis. I use Emotional Focus therapy to increase connection and intimacy in couples and families. If you are questioning your relationships, I can help get to a healthy goal. If you are in a strained relationship, like a separation or going through a divorce, we can work together to transition back into a healthy lifestyle or start one.
