I can help you build healthy relationships, heal trauma, cope with life stress and worry, healthy parenting, identity exploration and coming out, and gender transition.

In our practice, we strive to help others embrace their own humanity, live authentically, and create meaning from their experiences and stories. We believe that therapy is a place to laugh, to cry, to reflect, to empathize, to evolve, and to understand and honor ourselves exactly where we are.

I take a relational approach when working with clients. We have all been shaped by both our personal history and intergenerational history. Anyone who would invest considerable time, energy, emotion, and money into therapy desires clarity and awareness. Oftentimes, clients have never been given a safe place to process the underlying reasons for the present-day issues. Nor have they been asked the right questions that would help them reflect on the joy and pain that was and is present. This is needed to develop a sense of self. We were harmed in relationship and we heal in relationship. This is why therapy is so powerful.

I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, break-up/divorce, and self-esteem. Typical clients I work with are people that feel they should be at a different place in their life, are wanting to gain a better sense of who they are and what they want, wanting to improve their relationships, increase self-esteem and confidence, reduce anxiety and depression, and be "happier." I value self-growth ending in a healthy shift of life. I have a thorough and compassionate understanding of the positive aspects and struggles of relationships, families, and the single life-style.

Do you struggle with the messiness of being human? Do you want to embrace your own story, live authentically, and develop more self-compassion? Life can be really hard! I strive to create an environment for clients to explore their emotions and experiences in a safe, warm, and compassionate space. Some of the areas I support clients in are anxiety, navigating relationships, processing emotions, traumatic experiences, managing stress and conflict, and depression. I work with teenagers, as well as adults.

Learning to navigate the challenges in a constructive and beneficial manner produces a confident, well-adjusted person. I provide inclusive clinical interventions to improve overall functioning to couples, and individuals. Breakdown and unpacking narratives that no longer serves us with a focus on empathy support and a focus on self healing. Every journey is unique. The most essential tenet of this work is affirmation that you can trust yourself to know and make changes that will benefit your life. Soy hispana y hablo español.
