In work with children I use Play Therapy & work closely with parents.
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Anxiety or sadness. Grief, divorce or chronic illness. Some are tearful or angry—lonely—can’t get out of bed. Some may just be struggling to organize themselves to get out the door in the morning You may long for an enthusiasm you once had, or a partner or companion who feels like home. —Maybe you’re hoping to find that sense of home within yourself. Is your child shy or anxious? Have school mornings become a battle zone? I bring over 20 years' experience to the pleasure of helping children, adults & parents overcome whatever has them -stuck-

I work best with clients that are open to creative approaches or those who find their thoughts difficult to emerge merely through verbal expression. My clients are people of marginalized groups. My clients are those who need space for their voices. My clients have internal strength that they could not recognize in the moment. On my clinical journey so far, I have encountered young children and their families, adolescents and young adults, female groups, mixed-race clients, and elders at nursing homes. Issues that we worked with include grief, significant life-transitions, trauma, identities, family systems, and peer connections.

I worked for many years in child and adolescent mental health clinics and then in a school for behaviorally challenged children.
Have you felt like you are missing your partner, or have lost the ability to talk to each other? Do you long to feel more connected? If you cannot understand why so many of your interactions with your partner or children end up in arguments then I might be able to help. I work with families who are experiencing this kind of distance and escalations. My clients state that after our work together: they communicate better, feel more connected and 'in sync" with each other and are better able to meet each other's needs. I have heard comments such as, "I feel like I am falling in love again" and "thank you, I got my child back".

I speak Spanish, and have had more than fifteen years experience working within the foster care system, child abuse cases, delinquency cases, substance-abusing individuals, and teens/adults with a myriad of mental health concerns.
I am an experienced, compassionate, and refreshingly down-to-earth psychologist who believes that all people are special, unique, and deserve to be treated with respect and sensitivity. Yet, I am also quite capable of honest communication that addresses the immediate situation on hand. I specialize in conducting therapy with adolescents and adults, as well as conduct psychological evaluations with individuals of all ages, and substance use evaluations, etc. As I am a Credentialed Alcohol & Substance Abuse Counselor as well, I am quite familiar with the disease of addictions, and how this disease impacts upon family members.
