My areas of focus are anxiety, anger management and trauma.
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.

Interactive Equine Therapy has proven successful for anxiety, depression, and various trauma, including PTSD, and pre-verbal trauma.
Over twenty years as an ordained minister and equestrian I noticed how horses were helping me, so I developed Integrative Equine Therapy. In a non-clinical environment, a horse and IET Therapist create a safe space. We guide, encourage and support you in removing blocks, building new neural pathways from the trauma center to the conscious part of your brain, making it possible to respond rather than react to triggers. We call this "shifting perspective." With IET, you can find clarity of purpose, meaning and joy. Brown University's independent data on our therapeutic approach shows the success of IET. We work with all ages.

I lead multi-family group therapy programs to help children/teens with anxiety, social skills, and emotion regulation.
When your child or teen's journey has become more bumpy than expected - sadness, irritability, or worry seem to have moved in without an invitation - a psychologist specializing in child/family therapy might help. Maybe it's friendships that are not taking off or too much stress. Perhaps it's outbursts at home or school. Your family might be going through some big changes and your child doesn't seem the same. Whether you have been concerned for days, weeks, months or years, working with a therapist - to get practical and emotional support - might be a good place to start.
