I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (fluent in Spanish). I take a client-centered and strength based approach in helping individuals gain insight, coping skills, and strategies to improve their quality of life one session at a time. My priority from the beginning is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to begin to explore what brings you to therapy. I have over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations struggling with depression, grief, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship problems. I specialize in supporting individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unmotivated. Life can be challenging and my goal is to help you gain insight and identify your personal strengths that can lead to motivation and change. I utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Family Systems. Life's sudden changes can often lead us to feel stuck and seeking counseling is the first step towards change and healing. I am here to provide a trusting environment where you can be heard, supported, and set goals for treatment. I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation to explore your specific needs and concerns that bring you to therapy.
