A better life for you or your loved one? That's my goal in therapy with you, offering TELEHEALTH—strictly confidential. In times when you find yourself dealing with life's curveballs, fighting the world with no options ahead; we're here to work with you. Call, text or email, and let us help. I'm a Licensed Psychotherapist (bilingual) with a genuine desire to help you REGAIN control. With 29 years in the field, I've concluded there is HOPE; things CAN change; there IS a BETTER life for you or your loved ones. I've seen patients improve, rebuild, and take on life with a new perspective. Let's get to work! My certifications include Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART for Trauma/PTSD patients to resolve past trauma with accelerated results); Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (Behavior Modification, Depression, Anxiety, Panic); Reality Therapy; Mindfulness Skills; Christian Counseling, Certified Hostage Negotiator, etc; skills I’ve used with adults, couples and families. All services are offered in English or Spanish via-telehealth in a secure, professional environment. Your first phone consultation is free and confidential (HIPPA and time-restrictions apply). Call us to coordinate the next step as we turn stumbling blocks into new Stepping Stones on your journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Within our first session, I will take the time to go over your history, possibly identifying triggers to the symptoms you are experiencing today. My goal in our first session is to establish rapport, and listen to what’s in your heart as we embark in this journey to recover, heal from past and resurface the person you used to be. Throughout my years of experience, I have seen it happened often and often. I always promise full confidentiality, and in our first session I always recommend a quiet, private place in the comfort of your home or office. (headphones or earplugs always recommended)

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Over 29 years of experience proving psychotherapy services (in English or Spanish) within the most isolated places such as a state prison for over 15 years, to the comfort of a community mental health center and private practice for the past 14 years. Currently state-certified as Qualified Supervisor for Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns (RMHCI).

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral approach uses cognition (thoughts) over emotions that results in behaviors. I've been completed intensive training on this modality, making it one of my favorites. Over 29 years of experience in the field have convinced me that this is one of the most effective intervention/strategies.

Christian Counseling

Strong Christian background since childhood and currently active in church setting. Solid Christian faith that has helped shaped me into the therapist I am today. Would love an opportunity to share with others how faith can embrace reality and sooth strong emotions in the mist of any crisis.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

This modality offers the opportunity to embrace and assess two different perspectives to help make sense in a given situation, empowering the participant to make assertive/healthier decisions and practice positive behaviors.
