I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients including, young children, adolescents, and adults of various ages and stages of their lives.
I view the counseling experience as a journey. My goal is to walk with a client during this journey. Each person has their individual strengths and challenges. Together we will build on those strengths and face the challenges in order to reach your goals. This journey is centered around the client in a compassionate, nonjudgmental, safe, and empathic environment.

Hello, and it is nice to meet you. My clients tend to be high achieving adults, young adults or children yet they may not be reaching their potential for a number of reasons. Some clients may be new to therapy, others may have had 5+ years of working with other therapists and haven't yet achieved what they've set out to accomplish. I provide a safe place for you to explore your goals and teach you concrete skills to make meaningful changes.

Is your family constantly on edge because of the daily arguing? Are you the parent of a teen that does not understand you? Do you feel that to get in touch with your teen you need to text or Facebook chat? Are you constantly fighting with your spouse over money, discipline and jeolousy? As a middle school counselor I have immersed myself into the lives of adolescents and know how to speak their language. As a parent of two teens I understand the challenges of being a parent and spouse. Are you ready for a positive change?

I like to help women and men who want to know themselves better and value themselves more as they go through life's challenges.

Women, despite being the foundation of our society (I am a little biased, of course), are often given too much stress to manage effectively. We have to be employees, mothers, wives, friends, daughters and sisters, just to name a few roles that we play. When there is friction or "conflict" in any one of these roles, life can get complicated. I am passionate about supporting women in our many phases of life. I also serve the Latino (Spanish-speaking) community in a culturally sensitive manner.

We’re all just walking each other home - Ram Dass. You find yourself standing at a crossroads, the weight of past traumas, daily stresses, and unspoken fears heavy on your shoulders. The voices of doubt and confusion echo in your mind, turning what was once a clear path into a tangled maze of uncertainty. Each decision feels monumental, each step forward feels shaky, contributing to a profound sense of overwhelm. It’s dark here, and the face in the mirror feels like a stranger, each day a battle with fear. Maybe you wake up each morning dreading the day ahead, gripped by a fear that’s both familiar and indescribable.
