We are taught to constantly be on the go, but at times we need to stop and look inside to find what it is that is keeping us from actually moving forward. Sometimes we simply need to remember how to come home to ourself. I am here to offer a safe container to do just this. 

You are the expert on your life; you have the knowledge within to choose the right path. It is my job to walk beside you and shine a light. Containment and clarity: this is what I can offer to you as my client.

I provide therapy in English and Spanish to individuals, couples, and families. My approach is collaborative and personalized. We decide together what will be best for you. Depending on your needs and preference, our work can be very goal directed and practical, using short term therapeutic approaches. Or it can be expansive, open-ended, and inquiring, offering a more holistic approach. 
Take the first step to embark on this quest towards healing and self-discovery. Reach out to me today for a free 20 minute consultation. ​
