Personal power is necessary when bad things happen to good people. With over 18 years of experience in the mental health field, I've worked with individuals of all ages and their families. So whether it's the end of a marriage or a job; PTSD; depression or the roller coaster of ADHD, Bipolar Disorders, Behavioral Addictions and more, I'm here to help you step through the door of your "old" normal and into improved personal power and an increased sense of personal success that will become your "new" normal with a happier, healthier life.
I'm a nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, state Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified to work with Behavioral Addictions. I also have extensive training and 18 years experience in working with trauma and stress related disorders, including DID (8 yrs experience). I also have 18 years experience working with clients with active psychoses.
I am a first generation immigrant, and am Spanish/English bilingual, biracial and bicultural with a deep understanding of the challenges that life brings to all immigrants and their families. My training and experience in trauma informed care is the foundation upon which all my work is built.
