(she/her)
You have the wisdom and power to bring change and peace into your life, and I am here to help you find your strengths and reclaim your power. Using a client-centered, straight-forward and empathetic approach, I can help you confront and integrate painful experiences so you can move forward as the hero in your own story, healing the root along with the symptom and taking all aspects of life and the environment into consideration. Together, we will build your self-worth and find confidence within your Self as you navigate life and all of its complex transitions. Specializing in complex trauma and the abandonment wound as both a personal survivor and clinical professional, I have over a decade of experience providing trauma-informed educational services, mental/emotional health therapy, and grief counseling to all age groups from elementary-aged children to elders transitioning into death. Services I provide include: strengths-based talk therapy, art/creative therapy, psychoeducation/coping skills, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Depth/Jungian psychotherapy, and shadow work.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we will get to know each other as we build trust to co-create a safe, confidential container for you to share, process, and integrate experiences and energies that form your unique, individual identity. We will identify any issues you want to work on or discuss during our time together, and I will explain the therapy process as we get to know the style and strategies that work best for you. Shame is shed when stories are told in safe spaces (Ann Voskamp), and safety/comfort are the main priorities of the safe space we will create together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With over a decade of experience working with all ages from elementary school children to elders transitioning into death, I am here to support you and your entire family. I am a bilingual English/Spanish PhD candidate of Depth Psychology and specialize in creativity, imagination, and spirituality. Everyone needs support along the way, and it would be an honor to walk along side you on your journey. Taking the first step isn't always easy, and I'm proud of you for being brave. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me!
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have worked with all ages as an Elementary/Middle School School Social Worker, Trauma-Informed High School Teacher, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Community Health, Medical Social Worker in an Oncology Clinic, and Depth Psychotherapist. I am here and happy to support you and your entire family as you experience the ebbs and flows of life's journey.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a wonderful tool for calming/coping strategies and re-framing negative thought patterns for all age groups. Identifying your core beliefs and learning/practicing skills that quiet harsh, intrusive thoughts will help you move through the world and navigate your relationships with confidence and grace.
Strength-Based
Together, we will identify your internal strengths, gifts, and talents along with your external resources and supports so that you can build self-esteem and reclaim your sense of self-worth.
Jungian
Uncovering unconscious beliefs and integrating the Archetypal forces that drive our thoughts/emotions/behaviors can lead to a fuller life of wholeness and understanding while giving us insight into how we view ourselves and interact with others. Recovering repressed past experiences, hidden energies, and neglected strengths that have been banished into the Shadow will help you build a foundation as you become acquainted with your higher Self.
Existential
Understanding how you fit within the world and how your world is shaped by the decisions you make is a form of empowerment that can bring peace, understanding, and balance into your life. Together, we can identify how practicing free will creates meaning and purpose in your life.
Faith based therapy
Faith is a vital part of our existence and how we move within the world. Identify how your beliefs impact your decisions and relationships as you begin to build meaning and purpose in suffering, love, and your personal calling.
