Please send me a message at [email protected] in order to schedule an appointment. I use my own scheduling calendar.
Since 2000, I have provided specialized counseling and psychotherapy services to clients dealing with intensely challenging life experiences (e.g., divorce, grief, domestic violence, marital conflicts, parenting stress) and mental health concerns (e.g., depression, anxiety, self-esteem/self-confidence, trauma, autism, attention deficits).
I am a proud Latina woman of color. My upbringing and life experiences have given me a deeper level of empathy and compassion for other people's challenges.
I believe in teaching and empowering my clients to be their own “therapists” and advocates and, in working with community partners, allies to address issues in our communities. I confront challenges with teamwork and solution-focused strategies and a good dose of humor.
My intake is a 45-60-minute interview where we get to know one another to understand what is concerning you. Therapy is an individual and personal process; there is no one-size-fits-all. I believe in providing unconditional support and encouragement to help you meet your goals and overcome challenges. I understand the struggles with trauma (both individual and generational), mental health issues (such as depression and anxiety), and stressors (like poverty, housing, and family problems).
