I have over 24 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families and hold a four-year, post-masters Advanced Training Certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy from the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis.
Being a parent can be stressful, as you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help your child feel better, find emotional balance, increase their confidence and enhance their potential. It can be daunting to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure that you find someone who deeply cares and connects with your child and can work with you, guiding and supporting your parenting journey. Imagine what it would feel like not to constantly worry about your child because you know that they feel better about themselves, can better regulate their feelings and behaviors, and are more in control of their life.

Utilizing CPP to help families build strong, parent- child relationships and parents understand their children’s feelings and behavior.
I am a bilingual Spanish and English Licensed Mental Health Counselor, who enjoys working with children, adolescents and adults. As a parent myself, I understand that raising children can be challenging. When working with children I use play therapy to help children play out their experiences and feelings, and provide a means through which conflicts can be resolved and feelings can be communicated. When working with young children I use Child Parent Psychotherapy, and attachment therapy for infants through 5 years old who are showing mental health or behavioral problems.

I have worked with clients from Hawaii to Florida, and strived to contribute to their personal journeys toward fulfillment and balance. My work initially focused on children and families, and evolved to include lifestyle and behavioral counseling for adults, families, and seniors of all ages and stages of life. Over the past 5 years, I have focused on nurturing individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, and confusion. From grief, loss, or fear, to parenting, finding work life balance, or entering new chapters of life, change presents us all with burdens that should be recognized and appreciated.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, rostered on the national list of Child Parent Psychotherapy clinician's and I’m Eagala Certified as a mental health professional.
It’s ok to not be ok. When you’re a new parent, a parent with a child who has experienced a trauma, or if you’re just in need of support, you’ve come to the right place. Sometimes a little direction, education, support, validation— or just an unbiased perspective—can point us in the direction of the answers we already have within ourselves. Early intervention provides the best results for children struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, transitions, and those who have experienced trauma. It is my goal to provide interventions to support these individuals and families.

I practice from a very "client-centered" theoretical base and believe that clients are the expert on their problems. However, sometimes during crises, clients often forget that they have the skills and abilities to cope effectively. Therapy consists of helping clients assess their strengths and abilities and maximize their full potential to cope while facing life's challenges, turning these into strengths! Also, when suffering from Anxiety, I offer children, adolescents and adults specialized sessions based on Hypnosis principles to learn effective ways to cope.
