I have been treating adults and adolescents, ages 16 and older with substance use and mental health conditions for more than 30 years. My counseling approaches depend on assessment of your issues and which type can help you best. I will often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice as we explore what brought you to therapy, and then can decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. CBT can help identify how your thoughts and beliefs affect your emotions and behaviors, and help you learn to change them for the better.

I have experience with many issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and domestic violence.

I often meet clients when they are experiencing a difficult transition or conflict within the systems that matter most to them: typically family, friends, and self. I also make space for grief and loss, so that the experience is not isolating and intolerable. Through a variety of modalities I focus on the client's voice, experience, and barriers to personal contentment: this enables the client to be an active part of therapy, tapping into skills, solutions, and hope that might be out of reach without support.

The relationship between you and your therapist is a unique one, which cultivates the freedom to share any emotion, thought, or behavior, without fear of judgement. It is important to examine both the "why" behind our thoughts and behaviors, as well as how we can heal our inner or outer conflict, and move forward with improved insight, effective coping strategies, and a stronger sense of self. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, the bulk of my work so far has been with young adults and adolescents, though I often work with families and older adults as well.

Welcome! I’m Fray (like French fry). I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist dedicated to supporting others through unforeseen challenges in their lives. I’m often described as a warm, charismatic, and love to use laughter and humor to connect. As a young girl, I used to frequently witness my mother experience “ataque de nervios” which translates to “attack of the nerves”. In witnessing these events, I knew from an early age that I wanted to better understand what she was going through and to help support others through challenges they may not fully understand.
