Accepting New Clients Now! Good Sense Counseling helps people grow their mental health by getting to know themselves well and building skills for a thriving life full of curiosity, confidence, resilience, and fun. Clients learn to clarify core values, set goals, identify and overcome barriers, build strategies, solve problems, and celebrate successes.

It is hard enough to ask for help when you know what is not working for you in life. It becomes increasingly more difficult when there is only pain and the source is unknown. I focus on helping you reach your therapeutic goals by listening and building our therapeutic relationship; and strive to create a safe environment for you to explore the source of your struggle and pain without judgment. I do this through a lens called Restoration Therapy by understanding the current pain cycle and helping you to establish a peace cycle.

Now accepting new clients! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by life, talking to someone in a safe space is a brave, first-step toward a deeper understanding of yourself. Perhaps you’re struggling with feelings from trauma, grief, depression and anxiety, or having difficulty communicating effectively in your relationships; or you’ve lost sight of your life’s meaning. Whatever the source of emotional pain, I can help you approach old problems in new ways.

Abuse is something that affects a lot of people and in various different ways. It is something that can be hidden from the world and no one will know the pain the individual is going through. It is quiet and insidious, leaving lasting effects. It can creep up on you and make you feel alone in the world full of people. It can leave you feeling misunderstood, alone, and/or broken. There are ways to work through the trauma, safeguard yourself, and heal from parts of the abuse. You will rebuild yourself esteem, sense of self, and confidence in the process of healing. Everyone's journey is different.

I believe everyone deserves to be content/happy in life and in their relationships. At times, this can be challenging and people tend to get "stuck." Asking for help can be hard, but so rewarding when you take the risk to change and build awareness. With professional skills, loads of compassion, and a collaborative effort I can definitely help adults, teenagers, and families in figuring out how to get "unstuck" and enjoy their lives to the fullest. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, grief, depression, and PTSD. I particularly like working with clients, helping them free themselves from the trauma of the past.

You’re caught in patterns of over-thinking, overwhelm, avoidance, and perfectionism. You feel stuck but you aren’t sure why or how to fix it. You’re used to taking care of everyone else, being the problem-solver and the overachiever, so it’s hard to ask for help or know what you might need. You. Are. Exhausted. You miss the days where you felt clearer, connected, present, and peaceful. You escape into another wellness podcast, or do a little “self-care”, but you know the relief is temporary. It’s time to make a change. Break away from patterns of worry, stress, overwhelm and finally feel satisfied in the life you've created.

Some seasons of life are more difficult than others; through these difficult times I look to honor your story, while valuing who you are. My primary specialty is grief and loss counseling, where I offer safety, warmth and empathy to aid you in the healing process. I also love working with college students, and specialize in concerns surrounding identity development. I work with clients ages 24-50 and have experience with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, childhood abuse, trauma, life transitions, lack of confidence, perfectionism or stress-management. I am also a trained EMDR therapist.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, my experience is well rounded. My opportunities have allowed me the privilege to help persons of all backgrounds, ages, races and cultures. I believe with adequate support & resources all persons have the power, within them, to make changes needed for life satisfaction. Originally from Mexico I know all to well how life can present barriers. I believe, my experiences as an immigrant, a victim of trauma, a single parent and divorcee are at the root of my skills as a helper.
