"Sometimes you just need someone to talk to... someone who isn't your spouse, your child, your parent... who isn't a friend or family member, neighbor or co-worker... someone who can give you support by listening without judgement or challenge you, as appropriate, if necessary... someone who can give you feedback that isn't biased by their relationship with you... this is the beauty of the counseling relationship."
"Life can be stressful and I believe we are designed to cope with things together not alone. Counseling can help navigate some of the many transitions we face on our journey. I love what I do and believe that together we can develop a strategy and treatment plan that is strength based to achieve your future goals!"
"My passion is helping others to find and embrace the best version of themselves. I want to help you discover your strengths, enhance them, change negative thought patterns, learn ways to manage your emotions, build healthier relationships, and help you find ways to be satisfied with your own wellbeing. You must know, there is a freedom in discovering YOU and being comfortable in your daily life or doing what makes you feel good!"
"Feeling like your life is missing something, like you're going in circles, or frustrated because you don't know what to do next? Do you often criticize yourself, or expect yourself to "just get over it?" Do you sometimes feel like you want to scream? Let me tell you, I too, have lived through uncertain, challenging times and second-guessed myself, so let's talk?
I offer sessions in English and Spanish, specializing in helping people with diverse backgrounds re-energize their lives"
"Sometimes words fail and we need a way to express ourselves and the issues present. Art is an avenue to the self and creative expression is a means to cultivate self-awareness and provides space to represent issues being brought up in therapy. To be willing to be uncomfortable and explore a form of expression that we may not have done since childhood, takes bravery and openness. This may be a new way to look at life and understand how we are dealing with it. Unfolding with gentleness we seek the truth of our own being and how we want to face life in the here and now."
"Are you tired of feeling like you're never doing enough, like you're not living up to your potential or what you "should" be doing? Feeling like no one can understand what you're going through? Do you hold yourself to incredibly high standards and feel like you're always doing/giving/taking care of others? Do you struggle with religious or relational trauma? Are you Queer/LGBTQIA+ identifying? Together we can listen to what you need most, ground through the breath and the body, and practice techniques for alleviating trauma responses while discovering your authentic self."
"I’m here to accompany you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I view counseling as a vehicle. You are in the driver's seat, firmly in control of the steering wheel, brakes, and accelerator at all times. As your therapist, I step into the passenger seat, equipped with the tools and expertise to serve as your trusted GPS navigator. I'm here to help you navigate the twists and turns of your path, offering guidance, support, and perspective along the way and make sure your gas tank stays full. Just like a GPS, I provide insights into the route options available for reaching your desired destination—the destination you define for yourself."
"I believe that counseling is a partnership between client and counselor and so our therapeutic rapport is paramount. We work together to determine what you need and how to get you there through new coping skills and new perspectives. Powerful changes can take place in counseling, and it is always a joy for me to witness them."
"I help make the client journey pleasant from initial contact to scheduling, including Simple Practice portal setup and billing. I ensure the facilities are welcoming, clean and comfortable for our clients and their families."
