I've been a therapist for over 35 years, generating great confidence in my expertise. My style is personal and interactive and I love meeting with people. I draw from contemplative and cognitive-behavioral theories, utilizing Internal Family Systems theory as the primary fuel for healing and restoration. I respect the role of spirituality in a person's life, and honor all religious traditions. I help my clients explore their current struggles through the lens of trauma, honoring the delicate balance between nature and nurture. My goal is to help an individual find peace through embracing their authentic Self.

I believe that individuals possess the power to change, and that it is my role to help you become aware of how to understand and utilize that power. This philosophy of empowerment accepts the individual as the driving force in change. Further, this approach brings about effective long-term results, when individuals discover how to utilize their own inner strengths and gifts rather than having to rely on others for solutions to life's challenging circumstances. I believe empowerment is a gift for life. I look forward to helping clients reach their goals.

If you are consistently anxious, unhappy, dissatisfied or uncomfortable about one or all aspects of your life, you may need a “compass” to help navigate this life journey. The uniqueness of being a person of color or who’s family of origin is from another country, may also add layers that make you feel confused, conflicted and/or unbalanced with family, peers and even your professional life. You will unlearn what is no longer serving you well. I can help guide you to more clarity and understanding of all the intricacies of your narratives, so you can determine the path you want to take to be a better version of you right now.

This is a tele-health practice. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore their human experience and to make peace with themselves and their situation. Life will send curve balls. We get out of balance and move through life disconnected and unhappy, consumed by constant worry. We judge ourselves harshly and become filled with self-loathing. We can get stuck or frozen in trying to figure out what to do next. Therapy is a place to clarify your values and move towards a more congruent life. I can help you find your path, accept yourself, and build healthy relationships. You will receive evidence-based tools to build your skill set.

Accepting new clients and most insurances. Offering telehealth and in-person. Are you struggling with change or transition? Changes throughout our lives can challenge our sense of who we are and where we ended up. After years of struggle and pain, how did everyone else matter and not you? They say that change is the only constant, but for most, change sweeps into our lives creating crisis, relationship problems, grief, loss, trauma, depression or anxiety. Do the same hurdles keep stopping you from getting on with the life you always imagined? It can be stressful and overwhelming to navigate everything you have had to deal with.

You may be feeling that the strands of your life are unraveling and you want to make sense of it all. My private practice, Tapestry Therapy, is founded upon the belief that your life is like a tapestry, consisting of strands of stories that have been woven together to make one larger story. Our story is part of the larger tapestry of our family, race, culture, country and world. Through the work of therapy, we come to understand our stories and be empowered to decide how we will write future chapters. I utilize process therapy and Lifespan Integration, which is a somatic therapy, to help my clients reach their goals.

Therapy in English and Spanish. Do you find yourself struggling to meet expectations set up by society about roles that do not resonate with you? Or maybe, you feel distant and disconnected from your partner which makes you second guess your life together? You may be fed up of trying to please people all the time to meet those expectations. Or being exhausted by continuously worrying about the future of your relationship with your partner. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way.

My clients range in age from adolescent up and through adulthood. They are navigating substance use and are often caught between use (experimental or ongoing) and the desire for a more positive lifestyle as something in their life is not working how they would like. My clients also include the families of those navigating substance use, often finding themselves in search of a balance between supporting their loved one while still living their own fulfilling lives. Regardless of who my client is, each deserves a life free of the chaos they are currently experiencing.

I’m glad you have made it here. I consider myself a holistic therapist practicing from modalities rooted in holistic/decolonized healing. In today's world, I find that many of us have started to sense a level of disconnectedness both to ourselves and the world we live in. Maybe what brought fulfillment and connectedness in the past now feels empty. Or maybe you feel stuck in old patterns that bring about a sense of fear and self-doubt. If it feels like this is a time for change, it’s time to listen to your heart and allow yourself to begin your healing journey. I encourage you to do the work to find and stand in your power.
