I would be honored to work with you through your current life stressors and life roadblocks. I am a solution focused therapist who is ready to walk alongside you during a time in need. It is difficult to lean on family and friends when life gets tough. Allow me to be someone who is readily available to help you work through life’s challenges. I have 11 years of experience in working with children, adolescents, families, individuals, and couples. I specialize in domestic violence and immigration, but have many years of experience in working with several populations and difficult situations.
I have experience with behavior modification, depression, anxiety, bereavement, loss, anger management, stress management, family and relationship conflict, crisis & trauma, immigration, domestic violence survivors, and many other areas of life.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I am also licensed to provide psychiatric services in the Spanish language. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
