I am a marriage and family therapist who works with clients of all ages on relational and personal issues.

***Currently accepting new clients***  Life can become overwhelming and at times we need someone to help us sort through things. Therapy is a very personal experience where you are able to talk and process through your own thoughts and emotions. Whether it be past issues you need help working through or current ones, therapy is a safe place to work on you. I am bilingual in Spanish and am trained in EMDR to work through trauma related issues. 

Are you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and worn-down by anxiety, depression, or unable to cope with life changes? Does a lack of social skills, coping skills and emotional regulation, or grief/loss making it challenging to get a hold on life? Supervised by Arlette J. Back, LPC-S, we can work together to learn new ways of coping and managing challenging situations that life throws at you. By processing and learning new coping skills, you can learn to express emotions in a healthy way and face life head on! Please consult with me to see if you or your child is fit for virtual sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy to be used with kids, teens, and adults, helping clients become aware of dysfunctional or negative thinking patterns so that they can view challenging situations more clearly. In honoring the client’s autonomy, I tailor the treatment to the individual and build a relationship with the client to help improve mindfulness, stress, and develop new coping strategies. As a therapist, it is my job to provide support by helping you channel and develop your strengths, learn better coping skills, and heal along this journey we call life. I invite you to a safe and collaborative environment where we can explore your issues together and find a path to feeling better!
