I work extensively with those who suffer from childhood traumas, anxiety and depression, and low self-worth. My warm, non-judgmental, and personal approach to the issues you bring forward will support you in developing your own resources and resilience in facing life's challenges. My work often integrates spoken dialogue; physical movement; bodily sensations; and mindfulness; to explore the nature of your current obstacles and to find effective ways to move into a new meaningful future.

Nobody exists in a vacuum. Although life can be isolating, you don’t have to do it alone. In a time of DIY and instant gratification, I propose connection, collaboration, creativity, and courage in the therapeutic process. Like you, I’m human! I’m a woman, a wife, a mother, an immigrant, a person of faith, a therapist. While I believe everyone is doing their best, I honor and foster a desire for healthy change. For that, I utilize evidence-based approaches to draw on purpose and encourage self-efficacy. I invite and treasure honest feedback, and use the present moment to nourish insight-provoking reflection, and a path for thriving.

I get this because I've worked with dozens of women over 40 struggling with these issues.
Are you a 30+ woman who is twice exceptional (intelligent and ADHD), feeling overwhelmed? Is it even harder because your parents are accomplished people, and you feel like you can't keep up with expectations? You are hardworking and others count on you. But there are days when it feels like it takes all you have just to get dressed and out the door. Your brain either supercharged or foggy, and you can't often predict which it will be. So you sometimes feel like an Impostor who is just "pulling it off". You had trauma, recently or in the past, which doesn't help. You are ready for change, but you need to be understood.

I strive to foster an inclusive, trusting, and safe environment for my clients to freely explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I greatly value an integrative and holistic approach to mental health and utilize a combination of evidence-based cognitive-behavioral and insight-oriented psychodynamic techniques. I believe in a personalized experience for each of my clients, viewing everyone’s journey as unique, and tailoring sessions to meet my client’s specific needs and goals.

We often find ourselves seeking help when something is wrong, but I work with families and children to help them see what is right. I believe that humans are fundamentally creative, innovative, compassionate, and fully capable of accessing their joy. The therapeutic process is not one size fits all, nor will it be successful when the therapist calls all of the shots. My clients are the experts, and I work collaboratively to find the best approach to achieve growth.

Life is a journey, and I want to help you enjoy that journey. Sometimes we face obstacles along the way— racing thoughts, challenging memories, irritability, relationship conflict, daily stress. Whatever it may be, you don’t have to struggle alone. I strive to create an environment where you are free to express your inner world and experiences in a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental space.

My practice is dedicated to supporting women in their strength and resilience to heal from abuse and trauma, and to learn to cope with life changes and developmental stressors. Healing from trauma allows us to be more present to enjoy life, relate better with our loved ones, and move forward to achieve our full potential. In addition, in my practice I work with first and second generation immigrants. For the last 17 years I have provided bilingual services in English and Spanish. I am trained in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Family Systems.

I am optimistic in my therapeutic approach helping ladies with reproductive mental health, and couples, families, and individuals (adolescents/adults) who struggle with issues that affect their daily functioning. My goal is to empower clients to understand themselves, to highlight strengths, positive traits, coping skills, and encourage the potential that emerges during the therapeutic process. Life today is stressful under good circumstances but when life throws us off balance we need a safe place to process our thoughts and feelings to regain wellness in our life.

Life doesn’t often go according to our plans. Unmet needs and expectations can leave deep and invisible scars. That doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re human. I work with individuals to increase self-acceptance and self-awareness, build empathy, and improve the quality of their relationships. My hope is to support your journey to express, explore, and discover who you are and who you want to be.

I help parents who are struggling with challenges with their young child (0-6 years) around any number of issues, including: sleep, feeding, potty learning, cooperation, getting through daily routines, discipline, challenges functioning in a group setting, developing positive peer relationships, learning to develop self-regulation, and managing sibling rivalry. I help parents understand what makes their child tick and how to meet their needs, especially when it comes to how to discipline using positive, not punitive approaches.

Georges Braque stated “Art is a wound turned to light.” I find healing is based on a core foundation of trust, compassion, and a willingness to embrace growth. What we create offers perspectives about our pain and wounds, the invisible and visible kinds, in ways we may not have seen. My endeavor is to guide and support you in expressing and rekindling the relationship between yourself and others in the midst of hurt. The stories shared may not be easy to tell. Even when words are not enough, there’s meaning in expressing what matters to you.
