I believe that therapy is a dynamic experience that can be extremely helpful for lots of people. The process of changing ones life for the better is often a difficult one that requires support and understanding. In my therapy practice I strive to be that supportive guide that many individuals need to get to the next level of existence. I believe that overcoming is not an event, it is a process. Whether one is overcoming depression, relationship issues, or traumatic life experiences, support and thoughtful guidance is often key in recovery.

My belief is that effective counseling develops from establishing a collaborative relationship with clients, as they are the experts in their lives. Through psychodynamic therapy individuals gain a self-awareness and understanding of the influence of their past on present circumstances, and enables individuals to explore unresolved conflicts and symptoms that arise from past dysfunctional relationships and manifest themselves in current issues going in their lives. My belief is that people want to be healthy and happy and sometimes just do not know where to start.

I had always known from a young age that I enjoyed working with children and adolescents, and I quickly figured out that Counseling was the right career path for me. I always valued helping others and providing a supportive surrounding for those who may feel lost, alone or helpless. I earned my Masters from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with concentrations in Children and Adolescents, and Latino Mental Health.

Throughout the course of my education, training, and experience, I developed an expertise in working with complex trauma, assessing and treating children with challenging behaviors, child maltreatment, sexual assault, and crisis intervention.
As a mental health professional with 17 years of experience, I have dedicated my life to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families overcome obstacles they face in life. I understand the importance of having a safe space in therapy where you can share your story without feeling judged. It is my hope we can work together in partnership to help you discover clarity, find meaning, and shift negative/destructive mindsets to a more positive/productive one. In addition, I believe everyone has their own intrinsic strengths to draw from, which is an essential part of the healing process.
