I am comfortable working with individuals and couples as well as teens struggling with relationship, mental/emotional health and substance use and abuse concerns.
Accepting new clients. Life can be confusing. Whether it be driven by the reminder of past life experiences, fears of the future or just being stuck in a present problem or crisis, I will try to help enhance your judgment, bring you some insights as well as bolster your motivation toward an action solution to those issues. My ideal client is one who strives to be authentic and real to themselves and then their own world. Being open to feedback as well as having a willingness to take some risks in becoming a more whole, integrated and healthy person is also helpful.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples manage issues that often accompany separation and divorce using the principles in my book: “How to Divorce Cooperatively". In addition to divorce issues, I help clients build and improve relationship skills such as communication, decision making, boundaries, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution. My work with clients often focuses on life transitions such as cohabitation, parenthood/co-parenting, empty nesting, career change, substance use recovery, grief, and loss. I utilize an integrated approach drawing predominately from humanistic and family systems schools of thought.

I have a history working with adults, children, couples and families. I enjoy working with a diverse population. Change is inevitable in life however how one moves through it is up to the individual. Behavior is changeable but only by the person that has the behavior not by his/her partner, parent, friend etc.

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.

Change. Ultimately, that’s what it’s all about and the question is how do we make it happen for you? There’s a part of you actively seeking an answer right now, and this part is likely one that has helped you through challenges before. First and foremost, it’s often a good idea to take a moment and see if you can tap into some curiosity and maybe even a little gratitude toward this part of yourself. It’s supporting the effort to find balance and face whatever emotions are causing you to feel uncomfortable right now. This gesture may help center your mind (and body) as you prioritize your mental wellness.

Examining thoughts, feelings, and emotions connected to old patterns is a path that leads to self-discovery and understanding in how you are currently functioning. I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 11 years of experience in the field. My work spans across different developmental stages from adolescence to late adulthood, including group therapy work and couples therapy. Likely, the hardest part is beginning to really understand why things aren't working- I work with clients in a clear, approachable manner, so we can pinpoint the root causes and create a goal-oriented framework for progress.

Substance Use Therapists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
