If you are hurting and in need of help, there is hope that you can heal, have real peace
and joy, and make a better life. I believe we heal in relationship, and you’re not meant to
be alone in your pain. As your therapist, I will come along beside you to support you on
your journey to healing and wholeness. Together, we will work toward healing the parts
of you that are hurting and feel broken.
I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience and training working with
adults and teens, both in English and Spanish. I provide psychotherapy in a warm,
supportive, nonjudgmental, compassionate, professional environment. I value and honor
the uniqueness of each individual and believe it is important to hold a safe space for
your courageous process of healing.
I am a Christian and believe God is the source of our healing and so my approach to
treatment is on the whole person: mind, body and spirit. I have extensive experience in
treating clients struggling with anxiety disorders, panic attacks and phobias, obsessive
or over thinking, single incident trauma and complex trauma, emotional wounds from
childhood, postpartum moods, grief and loss, depression, chronic illnesses, difficult life
transitions, relationship problems, identity and self-esteem issues.
Sessions are designed to build upon my your already existing strengths and resources. I
work with clients to increase self-awareness and resilience and create positive changes
to meet personal goals. I teach clients how to reduce stress and enhance their ability to
cope with and grow from life’s challenges. I help clients discover and understand the
roots of their problems, improve their relationships, and develop the insight and skills
needed to make the best choices to create a better tomorrow for themselves.
I utilize a variety of approaches to work with you in a way that fits who you are and your
needs. I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist and draw on various models of therapy
including but not limited to Christian counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction,
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, sensory techniques, somatic mind-body and brain-based
modalities, Internal Family Systems therapy and EMDR. I am committed to learning the
latest evidence-based techniques to create an individualized approach that helps you
heal and move forward with your life.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV
