I speak English and Spanish, and offer a culturally sensitive space to explore issues of transgenerational trauma and multi-cultural identity.
I believe that therapy works best as a process of uncovering our truest selves. Oftentimes life hands us burdens of stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and pain that weigh us down and make it difficult to encounter the world in ways that we would like. I believe each individual has a unique and important story to tell, and I find joy in walking alongside clients as they begin to peel away the layers of life’s burdens to uncover the light of their authentic selves. I strive to offer a safe space for clients to author a personal narrative that feels genuine, and I operate from a gentle, trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective.

In life, all of us can use help along the way. There are many reasons to start therapy but ultimately, we all want to feel better and live happier lives! At any point, we can all struggle with stress, anxiety, sadness or have a difficult time managing certain aspects of our lives. We can also feel stuck in patterns or behaviors that make it hard to live the life we want to live and it can feel overwhelming to figure out what to do next. Whether you are searching for yourself or your child, therapy can help.

Hello and welcome to my unique practice, A Place Within. Although trained in traditional talk therapy, I also focus on creative therapies that integrate the mind, body, and spirit. These include sandplay therapy for adults and children, play therapy for children, dream work, art, and hypnotherapy. Rather than staying in the analytical areas of the brain, as talk therapy traditionally functions, these creative approaches integrate the whole brain into treatment.

La vida puede hacernos sentir perdidos, dañados y desconectados de nosotros mismos. Es posible que esté harta de sentirse confundida en situaciones cotidianas o aislada de amistades que no pueden entender. Puede que ni siquiera recuerde un momento en el que no se sentia así. De cualquier manera, una cosa es segura: esta lista para un poco de alivio. Esta lista para disfrutar de relaciones profundas sin que sus inseguridades se interpongan en su camino. Esta lista para encontrar un proposito. Sobre todo, esta lista para amarse a si misma nuevamente y para enfrentar su futuro con un sentido de propósito y esperanza.
