You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, a personality disorder, another mental health challenge, chronic pain, trouble with relationships, or difficulties at your place of employment. You may feel stuck in your life or need to clarify personal values and goals. I am skilled and experienced at working with people facing a variety of mental health and related challenges. I specialize in working with people 18 years old and older. My approach to therapy starts with the idea that people are usually the best experts on their own lives.

If you are ready to have a life changing experience, then you have come to the right place. Therapy can take many forms. I view therapy through a collaborative lense. I want you to feel empowered to make the changes that will make your life more fulfilling. I recognize that you are unique because of the experiences you have had and that therapy is not a one size fits all. Change comes through small and simple steps. Finding joy and happiness comes through taking these small and simple steps.

Email is best for contact, calling may delay response time. I see clients in WA and OR some in person, mostly virtual. My ideal client...might have anxiety, dealing with relational issues, struggling with depression, might feel isolated or lonely or might need support in other areas of life. My clients might be somewhat scared to approach change and some may be goal oriented. Some clients that I see might struggle to really know the path they wish to take or how to begin their therapeutic journey. My client/s may wish to work on self care and self love and integrate that in each of their personal goals. My clients are resilient.

As a Doctor of Clinical Psychology (PsyD), I've helped thousands of clients of every age, gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation recapture their lives from bipolar & mood disorders, TBI, anxiety and depression, struggles with domestic & sexual abuse, PTSD, fears, trauma, and coping with situations surrounding death & dying. Having the highest level of medical credential in Psychology and Psychotherapy, you can rely on getting a treatment regime customized for you, whether it's using psychoeducation, gestalt principles, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The force that is derailing your life can be tamed or banished altogether.

I find that when people have someone who is non-judgmentally supportive, who holds hope for them, who sees them and hears them, and believes in their worth and abilities, they can have the space to finally breathe. And thrive. I am a direct and curious therapist, and I love to dismantle shame, ease the burden of anxiety, support neurodivergence, and help people step into their truest selves. I look to bring helpful dynamics into relationships of all forms and dynamics. I empower my clients to trust themselves enough to enjoy their lives again (or maybe for the first time) through skills, processing, and a therapeutic relationship.

People come to counseling for different reasons. Some need assistance to change, changing habits or patterns that no longer serve them, shifting focus or reframing experience to feel good again. Some need to heal, from a past or recent trauma, who are dealing with grief or loss. Counseling can speed up the change and healing process. We all need someone to talk with who listens and can accept us as we are, without judgement, to explore ways to make changes that allow us to look forward to the future with hope.

While I am comfortable working on a wide variety of mental health issues, the majority of my clients have belonged to the LGBT and Disabled communities.

Welcome! I am a bilingual English/Spanish licensed therapist with more than 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families and couples.

In seven years of psychotherapy work with children, adolescents, college students, adults, and families, I have found that unhealthy levels of stress can worsen problems related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and beyond. These issues often lead to additional problems at home, school, or work and ultimately affect relationships with friends and family. Struggling with difficult life transitions may have a significant and lasting impact on the mind. It can be hard to navigate these situations or to know where to turn.

I love to help people sort through their stories, experience their fears and live life authentically. We are all capable of creating a life we can be proud of.
