I provide therapy services to individuals, couples, and families. I use a cognitive-behavioral approach to address presenting problems. This technique is beneficial in helping to treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, relationship issues, etc. as thoughts and feelings lead to behaviors or actions. Treatment services are also provided utilizing trauma informed care and EMDR to help with symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I have been in private practice for 9 years now. I love seeing the positive changes that my clients are making in their lives!

Some of the many issues and populations I work with include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, loss and grief, self-esteem and identity issues, phase of life concerns, abuse issues, and the LGBTQ+ population.
I strive to empower individuals and help others achieve their goals through insight and developing personal strengths. I believe developing healthy relationships, finding life balance, and restoring an individual's inner world is vital in establishing one's overall well-being. Everyone goes through challenges and hardships in life. I respect how difficult it is to ask for help and receive support during these times. Building a therapeutic rapport, creating a safe place in the counseling process, and respecting every individual's life journey is important to me.

I am a bilingual Spanish/English mental health counselor who understands that talking about how you really think or feel is not easy, and sometimes can be scary. Opening up to a stranger takes courage, and I know that taking that first step can be difficult. You might doubt that things can get better, that’s why I want to provide you that space where you feel comfortable and where you can be you. Choosing a therapist is not an easy process, I am committed to developing our therapeutic relationship.

I put high importance on the therapeutic relationship I build with clients and providing a safe, supportive, and trusting therapeutic space.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Play Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we’ll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better. With Play therapy, we will allow the client to explore/express feelings and emotions through healthy play.

I offer services for ages 6 and up for individuals, families, couples, and diverse relationship structures.
Mental health therapy is about wellness, not just for the mind, but for one’s whole self. If you’ve ever felt stuck, like you can see the way out but just can’t get there, you’re not alone. Many of us have tried to reason and logic our way to wellness but neglect our emotions which tell us when things just aren’t right. Therapy can be many things for different people, so I work closely with my clients to find out how we can learn about, understand, cope with, or possibly overcome whatever it is that brings them to therapy. If this is what you’re searching for, let’s talk!

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
