Hello, and welcome. Soy una terapeuta de salud mental bilingüe (inglés/español). I’ve been working to help children and families in various roles for 10 years. It is an honor for me to translate that experience into the mental health field. I have worked with various populations to help by listening, offering feedback, and by helping them to discover a deeper knowledge about their emotional wellbeing. Are you feeling hurt, depressed, or anxious? Do you feel trapped in abusive relationships, complicated family dynamics, addiction, or trauma? Are you torn between choices, feeling alone, or struggling with grief and loss?

Beginning your journey to improve your mental health can seem overwhelming at first, but is truly something we all deserve. In working with you, I strive to create a non-judgmental space in which empathy, respect, and warmth are highly prioritized. In this space, we will work to make the day-to-day more manageable while cultivating tools to navigate life’s ups and downs. I enjoy working with children, teens, & young to middle aged adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, family conflict/trauma, and other various issues.

Providing therapy for anxious "tweens", teens, and twenty-somethings for the past 24 years. When one member of a family is struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance abuse, or overwhelming stress, it can have a devastating impact on both the individual and the family members who love them.

I provide strengths based therapy to help individuals build effective coping mechanisms to address life challenges. I am committed to providing services that help you strengthen home, school, career and community partnerships by reducing overwhelm, stress and conflict.

Choosing to begin therapy could be one of the most important decisions you make for yourself or your child; a decision that will enable you to learn how to manage the stress of your condition or circumstance, giving you the energy you need to pursue your goals and live a more satisfying and fulfilling life. I provide a person centered approach, building on a persons strengths and incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, positive psychology and mindfulness techniques. I can provide support and treatment with issues including anxiety, depression, relationship, and behavioral issues.

As a clinical social worker, I know the relationship between client and therapist is the most important aspect of treatment.

I am also dedicated to helping teens navigate the difficulties of adolescence.

Many of my clients enter treatment expressing challenges in areas such as mitigating stress, enhancing their feeling of self-worth, and connecting with their most authentic version of themselves.

I help children, teens, and their parents work through many social and emotional conflicts. I provide evidenced based treatment approaches to help children with challenging behaviors, school related concerns, anxiety and other mood disorders.

Congratulations on starting your search for a therapist! I (and my colleagues) provide a safe, reliable and professional service to help my clients achieve their personal mental health goals.

The mindset becomes a self-fulling prophecy if one believes that they can accomplish a goal, chances are they will succeed! However, sometimes it becomes a challenge to see our true potential through the murkiest of waters. When this happens, the mindset shifts to I am not good enough, smart enough, (insert yours here). Together, we can work on changing your narrative in dealing with unhelpful thoughts, feelings and repetitive patterns of behavior that undermine your ability to enjoy life to the fullest. "Whether you think you can or think you can't; you're right!"-Henry Ford.

Wellness and emotional fitness are reachable, and achievable. Self-discovery is a pathway to emotional health.

Give yourself the time to discover the self-love, kindness and grace you deserve.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen/heard, and has the potential for growth. I am passionate about leading people through various transitions in their lives.
