LMFT

As a social worker, I am dedicated to helping and working with children, teens, and adults who are ready to deal with their mental health and who are interested in making the changes necessary to their lives at a pace that is comfortable for them. I believe that mental health is as important as physical health. I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have spent the last 10 years of my career working with adolescents and feel confident in my abilities to create relationships with them. I have experience working with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, transitions, and who are interested in developing better coping skills. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and am committed to a bicultural approach. I look forward to hearing from and working with you.

We all experience challenges at some point in our life. For some people, this means having to cope with traumatic events or chronic stressors. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship that is grounded in comfort and trust is essential for successful treatment. I offer a professional, judgment-free environment where you may explore your issues and past experiences. I will help you to overcome conditions such as depression and anxiety, improve dysfunctional relationships, develop a positive perspective, and regain control of your life. My integrated therapeutic approach helps clients to reduce adverse symptoms and increase resilience, insight, awareness, and personal growth. When working with children, I utilize techniques from play therapy or other age-appropriate approaches to reach treatment goals. When treating teenagers, I keep in mind their drive for independence as well as their need for continued parental support. I believe positive family involvement is vital when providing mental health services to young people. I am highly experienced in treating trauma-related issues. I also have advanced training in family therapy, play therapy, the psychology of lifespan development, sexual behavior problems in adolescence, and helping older clients find meaning and fulfillment in their life.

Do you often find yourself stuck in a loop of overthinking & self-doubt, unable to get out of bed or tackle everyday tasks? If ADHD, anxiety, & depression have you feeling trapped in guilt & shame, please know there is hope. If you struggle to get to work on time, feel overwhelmed with certain work or home related tasks, & find yourself feeling rejected or even criticized within your own relationship, let me help you to slow down, think, and reconnect with your emotions. Together, we can gently unravel the overwhelm and help you reclaim your life, one small step at a time. With my background in special education and solution-focused therapy, I tailor short, 30-minute sessions that cut through confusion. Using data-driven strategies, we target root ADHD symptoms, calm fight-or-flight responses, and ease procrastination, shame, negative inner voice as well as depression. Together, we’ll create a system that works for you—helping you feel organized, empowered, and aligned with your true potential. It’s time to stop masking and start thriving.

As a therapist, I have a calming presence. My work with you begins from this place of inner calm, and a deep knowing that in the midst of all the pain and suffering in life all is truly well. My role as your therapist is to compassionately and non-judgmentally guide you on your quest to ease your pain and suffering, heal your wounds, and call home your lost soul parts. With understanding and acceptance, I guide you in your search to discover your own place of inner calm, and your own loving, joyous, peaceful center within where you are your authentic self. To guide you on your way I use a framework of exploration, gaining insight, and taking action.

My philosophy is that you are the captain of your own ship! My role is to provide brain-based science and practical steps to help you steer toward the direction you want to go. Each session ends with a clear, collaborative plan. You’ll leave with practical action steps and the confidence to make positive changes for your brain, mental, emotional, and relationship health.show less

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, a life transition, or problems in your relationships? Do you feel sad or angry, and are you in need of help right now with complicated issues? I work to create a safe, enriching environment as we collaborate together to develop a clearer understanding of these concerns. We explore your goals in life and what gets in the way of experiencing a sense of fulfillment and purpose. I strive to listen and support the needs of my clients and explore with them meaningful changes they can make in their lives and in their personal and professional relationships. I frequently work with people who are dealing with significant transitions in their 20, 30 and 40-something lives. New stages in a person's life require a better understanding of old relationship patterns along with opportunities for identifying current relationships and personal aspirations.

I welcome the opportunity to join in your journey towards a better life. The internal turmoil and external struggles you may be currently facing are very difficult to endure. Sadness, anxiety or relationship difficulties pose real barriers to your ability to appreciate yourself and experience joy. The negative thoughts and emotions are powerful forces that taint the view of yourself, others, and the world around you. They cause unnecessary pain and suffering, as they filter your perception of the past, the present, and the future, in a never-ending pattern of defeat. With my professional guidance and your courage, we can bring more happiness, confidence, and satisfaction in your personal connections. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and insight-oriented interventions to help identify the negative beliefs that have prevented you from achieving your goals and experience happiness. Together we will build a caring and supportive environment to help you rise above your suffering and expand your capacity for work, love, and experience genuine connections. Through our encounters, you will learn new skills that will help you overcome the adversities that life presents. Please visit my website to explore my professional services to get started.
