With hope, humor and compassion I take a systems approach to look at life. We are all part of one system or another and those systems affect our lives. How we were raised has a significant role to how we show up today as an individual. The communities we grew up in help shape our beliefs and thus in turn determine how we choose to exist. Often we were raised by people “just doing the best they could” and that is okay, however a slight reframe of that may allow you to vision how and why to do something different. I say that “we received what we received” from our parents and not necessarily what each of us needed. It is now time to give yourself what you need, after all you are in charge, so why not give you yourself exactly what you need. We are able to author or re-author what we want our lives to be and we can take what we had, accept it and move through it so it no longer holds power over us.

The journey of learning about oneself is just like life, it will be a multitude of emotions, experiences and most of all, I hope it to be exactly what you need. I am the type of therapist that will gently ask you the questions to help you uncover the truth and allow you the space and time to do that. I meet you where you are and allow you to do the work with me supporting you along the journey. We create a safe enough space for this to happen and I ask you to come ready and willing to do the work.

I use hope, so we have something to look forward too.
I use compassion to meet everyone so they know safe enough exist.
I use humor to help us keep things in perspective.

Join me in helping you create the life you were born to live!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and I am dedicated to supporting you in building strong, healthy relationships. I provide counseling for adults, couples, adolescents and families. I strive to give my clients the tools to cope with challenging events and integrate new ways to manage life’s stresses. I approach each client with compassion and empathy and I am dedicated to providing a safe space for those seeking deeper and more nourishing connections. I recognize the impact that stressful and traumatic events can have in our lives and I believe, given the right tools and insights, we can find ways to work through these challenges to live a more authentic and meaningful life.

I practice from a person-centered, trauma informed framework. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, meeting them where they are, and creating goals that support their current needs and hopes for the future.

When working with couples, I take time to understand their perspectives, and I aim to identify areas of strength as well areas where the couple could integrate new habits and tools. I utilize research-based approaches such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) during the sessions, in hopes of creating opportunities to increase connection and manage challenging interactions. While working with families and individuals, I integrate traditional psychotherapy methods with experiential tools found in art therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. I believe in the mind body connection and have seen how powerful art can be in externalizing and processing difficult trauma narratives. I also utilize a therapy technique called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with survivors of trauma; EMDR is a method of psychotherapy that is proven to be highly effective in significantly decreasing emotional distress after a traumatic event and can be effective in the treatment of complex trauma, phobias, anxiety, and PTSD.

When working with clients, I focus on identifying and implementing culturally relevant, systems-focused interactions by utilizing my extensive training in art and trauma therapy. I incorporate my formal art training and experience as well as evidence-based therapeutic practices to meet the needs of diverse populations. I have also worked extensively with individuals, couples, families impacted by childhood abuse and sexual assault. Throughout these collective experiences, I have witnessed the power of art and mindfulness as effective tools for safe healing from trauma, victimization and other life issues. I am also bilingual and speak both English and Spanish fluently. My areas of expertise include trauma/post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress reduction, marital conflict, postpartum anxiety and depression, and managing life’s challenges. I also have extensive training and experience in virtual therapy.
