My skill-set and experience ranges from working with at risk youth, substance use and their families, children-teenagers, veterans and finding support for those facing end of life concerns.
Dark thunderstorms are hard to see out of. Especially, when you feel you are alone or worse is feeling lost. When finding your way back to you, adversity does not have to be limiting; it is a resource. Being ready for something different or for things to change is very scary. Except look at all the pain you have already been through. That alone has prepared you for what is next. It is humble to ask for help and although this can feel uneasy just know that you are stretching yourself and that is what gets you results. This work to me is sacred, and if ready then I am grateful to be HEAR for you.

What if you are anxious and/or depressed? If we are brutally honest, most of what hurts us comes down to this question: "Am I worthy enough to be loved; to be known?" I want you to know you are not alone! There is hope! Because here is the truth, most everyone is worthy to be loved and known, you just have to learn to believe it!

HABLO ESPAÑOL – Sometimes, life can feel tough, and you may doubt yourself even though you've worked hard to excel. It's normal to have these feelings occasionally, but if left unaddressed, they can become overwhelming. If you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma, it takes courage to seek help. I've been assisting individuals and families since 2007. I've also facilitated couples' groups, coached parents of children with special needs, and worked with adolescents and families on communication.
