Do you feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you? Are you overwhelmed by life stress, & having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? The good news is we are extremely resilient beings. We have the capacity to heal from past wounds, to grow, to set healthy limits, and to cultivate our best lives. Each of us deserves to live honestly and authentically, and free from suffering. I am a trauma-informed therapist with over 25 years' experience in the fields of social work, counseling and mental health. I specialize in treating attachment, relational and developmental trauma. I'll support you in exploring what has led you here, and look ahead to where you'd like to be! You can create the life you truly want. I'm on this journey with you! Outside of private practice, I work as a school-based mental health therapist. I am also a mom, partner, caregiver, dog person and nature lover.
My clients can expect to be accepted & respected exactly as they are. As my client, your needs and wants are primary. You and I will co-create a treatment plan based on your desires for yourself and your own personal growth.
My biggest strength is my capacity to be fully present to my clients - their words, their feelings, their experiences - in an environment of unconditional, non-judgmental acceptance. I am LBGTQA+ affirming, and believe in cultural humility in my approach to therapy. I am also Spanish-speaking.
Adults of all ages, gender identities, and lifestyles who are struggling with past traumas leading to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
