I am committed to walking with you on your journey to live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a fact of life that everyone, at some point or another, faces struggles. Sometimes, in this society, it is deemed more acceptable to suffer in silence than to reach out and ask for the help you need. I believe that every experience you have had, every triumph, every setback, is important and gives meaning to who you are; your whole identity. I believe that every person has the answers they need, and sometimes it takes extra work to find them. I believe that a therapeutic space, where a person can be heard and valued as a person of infinite worth, is incredibly healing.

Please reach out and we can work together to create a treatment plan that will work best with your life situations and needs.
Life can sneak up on you, often looking much different than you had intended. Sometimes these differences are hard to navigate and understand. As a clinician, it is my privilege and responsibility to help you learn how to navigate these situations. Most individuals are much stronger and more resilient than they give themselves credit for. We can work together using your own strengths to identify hopes and goals for treatment, and find realistic approaches to working toward these goals. You have the tools within yourself to achieve your goals; I will help guide and strengthen these tools.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and therapy can provide the necessary tools to lead a wonderful and fulfilling life.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you feel irritated or angry for no apparent reason? Are you a married or single mother that can't seem to get it right when it comes to raising happy and well adjusted kids? Do you resort to unhealthy coping behaviors in times of high stress? It's time to get those feelings, unhealthy choices, and all the negative energy turned around. I can help.

I began as a life coach and became a therapist in 2017 because I wanted to help people in a deeper way. I adjust to your pace: maybe you are coming in with a concern about something that happened recently and you just want another person's insight on it; or maybe you have past trauma that you'd like to finally unhook from. With deeper work, I like to get an idea of your whole picture -- emotionally, psychologically and spiritually -- so I can help you reach whatever goal or resolve whatever issue you come in with.

I have experience with clinical disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as issues related to life transitions; I specialize in self-esteem development and identity exploration. I provide therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and adults as well as individuals, couples, and families. My philosophical orientation is based in Rogerian theory and how we can invite change into our lives through congruency, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. These qualities are the first tools with which we might build the foundation to a therapeutic relationship.

I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2011 and have extensive experience treating individuals with chronic health conditions, infertility and perinatal loss, perinatal mood disorders, pelvic pain, depression, anxiety, conflict in relationships, life and career transitions, healthcare clinicians, and corporate leaders.
First of all - I am so glad you are here. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable and uncomfortable, but it's when we lean into those places of discomfort that growth can be found. I am inspired by IFS, mindfulness, CBT, self-compassion, and the work around shame and vulnerability and infuse each modality into my therapeutic work. I also value integrating the coaching philosophy into my therapeutic approach and I ultimately believe in the power of supporting each individual as a whole, unique person to create space for healing and overall well-being.

I specialize in working with individuals with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and ADHD.
Hi! I’m a virtual therapist with openings this week! I grew up in a multicultural household where being the firstborn Mexican female held a lot of expectations and responsibilities, oftentimes, with little emotional support. While I identify as Mexican, I’m not fluent in Spanish. I know it can be difficult to seek services, but if you’re looking for guidance or a place to vent, you’ve found the right person. I create a safe and comforting space for all of my clients that allows them to talk about various topics without judgement. When I'm not working, I enjoy gaming with friends and reading. While we work together, my cat may visit!

Many of life's most difficult problems can be worked through with time and bravery.
As a veteran, I've seen people in all forms of crises and facing all manners of difficulties in their lives. Working through marital and family crises, life transitions, career changes, severe traumas, depression, anxiety, and all manners of things was an every day experience for us and learning to cope with these issues can be difficult. Finding jobs, mending relationships, getting through depression - all things that can be worked on and I would love to help.

I provide counseling to individuals, families, couples, teens and older adults helping to assess and come up with ways to move through life's challenges. Each client presents with unique needs and that is the starting point to assist with a client centered plan to make changes and move forward. I have varied experience; but most clients present with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship/marital, grief or loss, life changes, challenges of neurodiversity, addictions, and employment concerns. I have worked in the mental health field for 40 years and see how empowerment and guidance can help peoples' lives vastly improve.

I am most passionate about walking with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, identity, self-esteem, body image, relationship challenges, and adjustment (into college or into young adult life), but find purpose in all my counseling relationships. In those relationships, I find it equally important to grieve and sit in brokenness and pain with clients as it is to celebrate growth, healing, and health.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you are able to be heard and vulnerable, build skills, and focus on your strengths to help you deal with the challenges that life throws at you, your child, or family.
Life can be challenging, and at different times in our lives we are all in need of additional support, whatever the reason may be. If you are at that point and ready to explore therapy, I would be privileged to join you, and support yourself, your child, or your family. I have been working in the field for over 15 years and strongly believe that you are the expert on yourself and your family, together we will focus on strengths, to create goals that allow you and/or your family to grow and improve your daily living. I can help you develop skills for dealing with anxiety, mood disorders, depression, among other things.

At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully.

I have special interest for working with young adults going through transitional phases of life, as well as working with people with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and those in the LGBTQ+ community.
Your mental health matters! I'm here to help! Taking the next step can be intimidating and difficult, but a different perspective may help you create balance and a renewed sense of stability. It is my intention to help you expand your life beyond the “couch,” where even the smallest of adjustments can make a huge impact. One of the most crucial parts of the therapeutic process is connection. I approach each session with warmth and an empathetic, listening ear to provide you a space where you feel heard, understood, and hopeful for your future.

As a person who knows firsthand what it’s like to begin the counseling process, I understand how critical it is to connect with your counselor and the feelings that come with taking these first steps. As such, guiding my clients toward personal growth is a passion of mine. I firmly believe that each individual has the potential to overcome challenges and thrive. Therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" process, and my approach is grounded in empathy and respect. It’s imperative that you feel heard, as well as empowered while pursuing your journey toward the life you imagine for yourself!

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
