I am a Licensed Mental Counselor with a Masters degree from Purdue University and 12 years of experience working with children, adults and families. I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. I am fluent in both, Spanish and English and able to provide therapy in either language. My areas of expertise include: children who present mild through severe emotional and behavioral problems due to a history of trauma and/or difficult life events (i.e., death in the family, illness, divorce, other losses and family changes); working with parents struggling with parenting issues, adjustment to life events and parent/child relationship difficulties; and working with adults in a variety of problems including, adjustment disorders, post traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grieving, and post-partum depression.

Life today might not look the way you want it to. I’m here to tell you that that’s okay, it doesn’t have to stay this way. Whether anxiety or trauma is affecting your day-to-day life or you’re just ready to invest in your wellness in a new way, this is a place for you. I deeply believe that each of us has an innate ability to heal ourselves. By learning to understand yourself better — to no longer avoid or resist the way you are but instead to embrace it — you can experience the freedom and wisdom that results in real change.

Are you struggling feeling overwhelmed with life? Worried about the future and what’s going to happen? Do you ever feel like your thoughts just won’t quit? Do you have little to no motivation to do anything? Are you feeling burnt out and tired all the time? Has there been infidelity in your relationship, and you’re trying to work through it? Are you worried you won’t be able to trust your partner again? Are you having trouble connecting with each other? Do you feel hopeless in how to mend the breaks in your relationship?

Are you seeking a supportive space to heal, care for yourself, or explore the dynamics of your relationships? I specialize in guiding individuals, couples, and families through interpersonal and personal difficulties. Common concerns my advanced training equips me to work with include anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, intimacy issues, and trauma. My therapeutic approach integrates the evidence-based approaches of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering a holistic and personalized path to wellness.

I enjoy working with adolescent to adults experiencing transitions of life such as schooling/careers, parenthood, relationships, and lifestyle changes. These transitions often create feelings of anxiety, depression, difficulty regulating emotions and uncertainty. Life transitions can also influence how people may process their past experiences and trauma.

Email is the best form of communication for the quickest response! Hello! Since obtaining my Masters in Social Work from IUPUI, I have been an individual, family and school-based therapist working with clients of all ages ranging from 3-years-old and up. I now focus on teenagers and adults dealing with school, work and life stressors, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and trauma related struggles.

I am a licensed mental health and addictions therapist with over twenty years of experience. Over the years, I have truly enjoyed working with adolescents and adults who struggle with a variety of issues, including behavioral problems, teenage struggles, substance abuse, addiction issues, depression, anxiety, stress management, parenting concerns, and other mental health issues. My goal is to walk alongside each client to help support positive changes that can result in a more balanced, peaceful life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in trauma work, stress management, education and regulation of mental health symptoms/diagnosis, chemical dependence, and development of healthy interpersonal relationships.

I’ve been in clinical practice for over seven years, and have worked as a social worker since 2010. I work with all ages because I believe we all need a little support from time to time, no matter our phase of life. I strive to create a collaborative, safe space to explore openly and engage genuinely. Individuals may seek therapy with me for many reasons, and no reason is “more valid” than any other. Some of these might be: self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, major life changes, parenting, fertility challenges and/or pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustments, relationship challenges, personal development and growth.

Are you looking to improve communication skills, gain better insight into your mental health, or develop coping skills? Do you feel like the same situations keep repeating in life no matter how hard you try to prevent them? Are emotions out of control? Do you feel like things need to change, but you don’t know how or where to start? Is unaddressed trauma negatively impacting your day-to-day life or relationships? These situations can seem impossible to manage when impacting every aspect of your life or relationships; but therapy can help you explore, define, and gain a deeper understanding of your mental health needs.

I am a Pre-licensed professional (LMHC-A) and a Registered Art Therapist- Provisional (ATR-P). I enjoy working with adults and adolescents and I work primarily with individuals with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues. I also see those struggling with anxiety, depression, life adjustments, trauma, and obsessive compulsive tendencies. I hope to help individuals throughout the challenging road of recovery and walk along side them, providing support and compassion along the way. My goal is to help you address concerns you are noticing in the present, while also providing space to explore underlying causes.

The human experience is interesting to say the least - the suffering, joy, compassion, anger that we experience. Although all of us have our individual journeys and unique experiences, we're able to find connection with one another. As a therapist being able to connect with my clients and helping them navigate through the struggles in their journey, as well as celebrate their accomplishments, is something I consider to be special. I believe that all of us have unique strengths and have potential to find those strengths.

Life is unpredictable and uncomfortable at times and adding mental health struggles, addiction, and/or trauma makes it much more difficult to navigate. You don’t have to walk your path alone! A therapist can help you to manage the unwanted thoughts and behaviors you may be experiencing. They can also be a trusted person to assist in guiding you toward confidence and joy.

Finding help (and the right kind of help) for your child or adolescent or even knowing where to start with that can be overwhelming. The fact that you’re even reading this though says one thing: you have hope, and that’s the first step! Therapy can help your child learn how to navigate difficult emotions, gain understanding of their personal goals, and find confidence in who they are all in a safe and warm environment.

Over the past four years I have collaborated with my clients to manage their mental health symptoms and life stressors using clinically proven therapeutic methods. I am passionate about my career and have experience with adolescents and adults who struggle with family and relationship problems, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, trauma, self-esteem and motivation, and regulating difficult emotions. I want to help you determine why you are currently experiencing challenges and develop goals and actions to resolve these issues.

All of us have had experiences that challenge us and push us to our limits. When things are hard, we may start to wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” So often, though, what you’re going through is a natural human response to the stressors in your environment. You don’t need to be fixed; you’re not broken. In therapy we can work together to peel back the layers, take a closer look at your challenges, past or present, become rooted in who you are and the strengths you have so you can rise above and live a life you love.

You live life as an individual, but also as someone surrounded by all your life experiences and their impacts. These include social supports, family dynamics, partner relationships, cultural and social backgrounds, or impacts of gender and sexuality. If you're looking for support and guidance in a challenging time or seeking to make positive life changes, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

My clinical experience over the last 30 years has enabled me to develop effective treatments tailored to the unique needs of each of my clients. I am deeply interested in the individuals who place their trust in me and committed to finding the kind of practical and enduring solutions that truly enhance the quality of their lives. If you are struggling and feel ready to move forward to a more fulfilling life, I can help. I promise to treat you with the respect and care you deserve and to assist you with the full measure of my competence.
