Struggling to be kind to yourself? Difficulties keeping up with your relationships, work, and health? Looking for some guidance on finding meaning and making the most of your life? Are there obstacles in your path, past traumas, anxiety, or other stressors holding you back from being your best self? Allow me to be a compassionate counselor, healer, and guide on your life journey. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, terminal and chronic illnesses, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life uncertainties, addictions, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen or offer helpful feedback. Many psychotherapists attempt to use their preferred modality as a "one size fits all" treatment. While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best custom plan for your needs and desires, incorporating the therapeutic techniques we deem most useful for you. Join me in a completely safe, judgment-free, and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, laugh, and become your best self. No better time than the present to create your desired future, schedule an appointment with me today.

I have worked as a Mental Health Therapist for 30 years and I love my work as much today as the day I started. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Addictions Professional. I am honored to join people where they are at on their journey. I focus on positive goals for getting back on track or even transformation. As I realize the courage it takes to come to therapy, I focus on the patient/therapist relationship. There must first be an experience of safety and trust. Then, of course, the therapeutic work will follow. I utilize a warm, relaxed style with fierce reflection or gentle support as needed. I believe that everyone benefits from a therapeutic experience to attain the best version of themselves for the best quality of life. 1 utilize humor combined with therapeutic skills which makes my approach unique. Laughter isn't always appropriate, but it can be very helpful with reframing and bringing down barriers. With so many years of experience and training, I have a broad skill set and utilize multiple interventions to create a unique treatment plan for each person, couple, or family. Some of the modalities that I frequently utilize are: Solution- Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psycho-education, Systems Theory, Emotion Focused Therapy, Behavioral Modification, Skills training and Motivational interviewing/coaching.

I am holistic - mind-body-spirit-soul and I help you achieve good health on all levels. I can help in a lot of ways but I first listen to what is important to you to address first. I help strengthen the body by recommending natural herbs to relieve anxiety and depression, physical pain, and herbs to boost the immune system, and I recommend physical exercise, I help balance the emotions with psychodynamic therapy getting to the roots of the problems, and I teach special kinds of meditation that calms the monkey mind and bring you more peace and fulfillment., and a deeper connection with the kingdom of heaven inside of you. and creative visualizations to help boost your confidence and self-esteem. Since I have a PhD in both Clinical and Organizational Psychology. I am also skilled in helping people succeed in business. and my therapy license in marriage and family counseling and a master's degree in marriage and family counseling which helped give me the skills to teach you how to have a happy and successful marriage with good parenting communication. I also use all of the creative arts to inspire you further. I also offer a free 15-minute conversation by telephone where you can decide if we are a good fit for each other. I have studied many different kinds of modalities to work in so if one doesn't work for you, we can switch to another. For instance, some people just want to be listened to and don't want advice, whlle others want a lot of advice and direction. yet others want me to help them go inside to help them find their own answers. I try and balance these three but you can voice if you think I am moving too far into one or another and I can then move to your comfort zone and needs. I am recommended by Laura Elena de Ortiz MD

When you think about your future, are you excited? Anxious? Terrified? All of the above, and more? It is normal to feel any combination of feelings when navigating life's many transitions. The future is yours and you get to create the path you want for yourself. Roadblocks from your past can be worked through and overcome. We can't stop life from having transitions, but we can learn to grow from whatever shows up on our path, and learn to love ourselves along the way. You deserve to live a life you enjoy and I'm here to help you figure out what this looks like and how to create it. I'm here to listen to you vent, help you gain insight, and implement effective coping strategies. We can work through your past and create the future you deserve. We're going to keep it real and maybe even have some fun. If talk therapy isn't your jam, I'm also an art therapist. The process of creating art in itself is healing and restorative. You deserve to have someone in your corner, rooting for you. I will be that person, if you let me! Let's set up a time to talk and see if I'm the right person to help you take on the future mindfully and with confidence. Feel free to call me at the number above or go to my website to email or text me.

Stress, anger, depression, and anxiety can really impact your overall functioning and quality of life. Are you facing issues that you need help to work through? Do you have a life goal that you would like to achieve? Is it difficult to adjust to lifestyle changes? I recognize that our problems seldom exist in a bubble and that more often than not they are a direct reflection of our upbringing, past trauma, and/or our environment. Clients often cherish my ability to balance warmth and unconditional positive regard with challenging maladaptive beliefs. Investing in counseling can yield long-term rewards to influence healing, intimacy, and wholeness. Acquiring necessary tools for healthy growth can be invaluable to achieving an authenticity of self. We will endeavor to enhance your life through increased self-awareness, personal growth, and self-acceptance utilizing the modality most beneficial to you. Deciding to go to therapy may be a difficult decision. However, therapy can help you process complex emotions and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others. Therapy can also help you learn new ways of coping, especially during a pandemic. I welcome the opportunity to meet you and I'm honored by your consideration to allow me to journey with you.

Question: "In what way is a therapist like a pair of shoes?" (Read on for the answer) You deserve to be listened to without judgment, criticism or having to defend yourself. My role as a bilingual (English, Spanish) therapist is to be an active partner providing a non-judgmental environment focusing on your strengths and goals, thus readying you to move in the direction you desire. I provide an integrated approach in a warm, compassionate and supportive setting with creativity and humor. I enjoy delivering services to children, adolescents, and their families. I focus on a variety of issues that include behavioral problems, depression, anxiety, school-related problems, parent-child relational discord and breakdown in communication. However, my practice is not limited to these situations. Sometimes life events become overwhelming. It is good to know there is someone you can trust that gives unconditional positive regard and solution-focused interventions to ease and/or eliminate the stresses you encounter. I am here for you! Answer: "The therapist has to FIT you!"

When counseling, I look at the whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time. I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.
