Do you have things you've been afraid to tell anyone, including a therapist? Do you have "dark thoughts," and maybe you just want it all to stop? You've endured trauma, pain, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe you made some bad choices. You're afraid of being judged, rejected, or your therapist not being able to handle your "stuff". Therapy should be a safe place where you can be your genuine self, and talk about whatever is weighing you down. You deserve a therapist who will listen to and support you with empathy, compassion, and without judgment.

re you looking for help with relationship issues, counseling for your child or teen, behavioral issues or looking for help with your family's relationship?

Are you struggling on how to best support your child? The early years can be trying for children who struggle with feelings of anxiety, adjusting to blended family issues, or dealing with school concerns. When your child's needs surpass your capacity, finding the right helper who can provide the right support is necessary. Helping struggling kids and families is my passion! I primarily help children through a play therapy model, which ultimately helps them learn how to constructively express their thoughts and feelings, control their behavior, make decisions, and accept responsibility.

Everyone has the potential for greatness. It's a matter of how we learn to use life's experiences, challenges and triumphs to actualize the best of who we are. In exploring our history, communication habits, relationship and behavioral patterns, we earn more power in using this for good in our lives. Between balancing responsibilities, prioritizing relationships and simply getting out of the door every morning, it is easy to forget to make time for our own well being.

My counseling style is compassionate and direct. I use CBT, solution focused, and mindfulness therapies to help resolve negative thoughts and emotions and work towards more realistic and positive self-assessment. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help and I honor you for taking the first step! Many of us struggle silently with emotional pain, physical discomfort and racing thoughts related to anxiety, or lack of motivation due to depression. I believe everyone has the potential to learn new skills to manage symptoms, improve communication, self-motivate, and regain a sense of self-control.

You're an accomplished, hard worker, and people think you have it all together. But your internal voice reminds you that you feel inadequate, and you may struggle with sadness, anxiety, or anger. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma. You work hard to hide your deepest thoughts and feelings, and it's exhausting. You overanalyze your perceived flaws and past experiences. Perhaps you withdraw or lash out at loved ones. You try to push down negative feelings by staying busy and focusing on other things, but you don't feel so good inside when things are quiet. You feel "off". You're tired of living this way and ready for a change.

UPDATE: I am not accepting new clients at this time. Are you or your child feeling anxious? Stressed? Overwhelmed? Not sure where to turn? Life can be exciting, challenging, and sometimes scary. I would love to work with you or your child to find the positives in life, listening to each unique situation with compassion, understanding, and without judgement. Together we will create a plan to move forward and enjoy the moments.

I am passionate about working with 1st & 2nd generation Latinx individuals that were raised in a family of immigrants while living in the US. Unintentionally, this can create a lack of belonging in your communities which can leave a profound impact on your relationship to self. Your mental health journey is more than a story; it's a commitment to yourself to heal from intergenerational wounds and claim your unique strengths. Your longing for effective communication, boundaries, and self-love is welcome and encouraged here.

First, I would like to acknowledge your effort in reaching out to seek guidance. You have taken the first step in improving yourself. I understand it is hard when our initial expectations of how our life "should be" does not match what is happening in the moment. Many times, there are societal, familial and perhaps individual expectations that we feel obligated to fulfill. Sometimes these thoughts of a "normal" life interfere with what our true happiness could be, and this does need to be explored. Essentially, I would like to assist in shifting your perspective which will allow you to feel more balanced in your life.
