Life is a complex experience and can feel overwhelming and lonely but you don't need to navigate the journey alone. I provide clients with a space to explore vulnerable emotions, safely process experiences and past traumas, and sift through internalized societal messages. As insights deepen, we can work collaboratively to enrich their self-esteem, strengthen their sense of empowerment, and expand their coping skills. We don’t always get to choose what happens to us, but we can choose how we respond, that makes you the author of your next chapter.

I enjoy working with adults who have an interest in addressing mental health issues, including struggles with addictions. I also love to work with young people, ages 11 to 17. It is very rewarding to work toward a goal with a client and assist them in realizing their full potential. I have been fortunate to work with many types of individuals, such as those who want to deal with short-term or long-term problems. I am also bilingual in Spanish. Often people come to therapy because they want to solve an issue they have been struggling with for a long time, or sometimes it is something urgent that just suddenly arises.

Are you looking to overcome a particular problem, feel less depressed or anxious, improve your relationships with others, or better cope with every day struggles that life can bring? We all pass through different seasons in our life, and occasionally we get stuck in a certain season that leaves us unhappy, dissatisfied, conflicted or worried. Sometimes learning a few new tools that help us change the way we think can dramatically change the way we feel, moving us forward again.

Are you suffering from caregiver burnout? Are you worried you aren't doing all you can to best support your autistic family member? Are you anxious about your child's future? Do you feel isolated, stressed, or stuck? While autism is a neurodevelopmental disability, there is neither a physical nor ethical reason to treat it unless autism traits are affecting your quality of life, health, job, relationships, etc. Autism itself does not get better or worse with time. It's simply a different way of receiving and processing the world. Much of the stress parents experience comes from misunderstanding their child's support needs.

Many people come to a counselor not knowing what to expect. The hardest part about coming to counseling is being willing to open up to an outside person about your most significant struggles and stressors in life. Opening up to a counselor means getting unbiased support and feedback to empower you to make the best decisions for yourself and/or your family. I aim to foster your healing, grow your self-confidence, and improve your self-image.
