English
| español Hi! Hola! I specialize in child and teen therapy. I am bilingual. All are welcome at Spiral Roots LLC. You know that your teen or child is struggling. You can see it in their behaviors, hear it in their voice, feel it in their attitude. You may or may not know the cause of their anger or pain. You just know they need help. The weight of the situation is heavy on you. They will not respond to your advice. You are not sure if they will talk to someone. Maybe in the past they blew off other therapists. Maybe your teen is actively asking for counseling. Wherever you are in this journey, I understand. I can help you and your family.
I integrate cognitive, expressive arts, play, and nature-based therapies. I will engage the interests of your youth in a way that will best help them express themselves. Clients have told me that my “office is interesting,” “I do not feel like a checkbox,” “I feel heard,” “you see me,” “when I feel stressed, any stress, it goes away and I feel better."
Sometimes bad things happen. Anxiety is real. Life is hard. Going to counseling is not bad or weird. Therapy is a place where we can be curious. It is a safe place where we can discover and grow. I love seeing young people light up when sparks of insight ignite "Aha!" moments. I can provide all services in Spanish. Call me today! Check out Spiralroots.org
