Mental health is the foundation of happiness and stability. Reaching out is often the hardest part, so congratulations on taking this important first step. I look forward to guiding you with my 25 years of practice experience. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor/ Certified Cognitive Behavior Therapist/ and Certified Domestic Violence Counselor. I utilize an eclectic treatment approach including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamics, Mindfulness Therapy, Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy among other modalities.

I am empathetic, compassionate, and an understanding professional who presents with a blend of clinical, and advocacy skills dedicated to improve the quality of life of the clients I serve. I strive to create a therapeutic space built on honesty, transparency, and collaboration, where clients feel empowered to grow at their own pace.

I specialize working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, family conflict, life transitions, relationships, and grief. Fluency in English and Spanish, combined with my deep understanding of bicultural values, enables me to work effectively and sensitively with families from diverse backgrounds.

My clinical experience and expertise reach across many areas including domestic violence, sexual abuse, the autism spectrum, developmental or cognitive disabilities.

I utilize all of these skill sets to develop appropriate treatment models that are specific to the unique needs of each client, encourage a climate for personal growth and constructive change. Creating meaningful change requires patience, a strong support system, and persistence, which is exactly what I help my clients navigate.
