Seeking Counseling

Counseling was not my first, second, or third career, but it is the right one! I have degrees and have worked in the following areas: International business, education, and private and public sectors. I believe that all these experiences along with my multicultural background (I'm fluent in Spanish) have prepared me to be an understanding and relatable therapist. My purpose in all my careers was to always serve and know that what I did as a job was also helping others. After many years of working full-time in various fields and in college obtaining multiple degrees (and a huge student debt), I am happy to say I am where I need to be. Now, my learning focuses on becoming a better clinician each day. I am EMDR-trained, certified in DBT, and specialize in CBT, and I incorporate aromatherapy and various mindfulness interventions.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation for each potential client. I believe this allows for the opportunity to see if we are a good fit for each other. After that, if you are ready to move forward, I will set you up on the client portal so that you complete the required documentation for your first session. I pride myself on being easily accessible to my clients; if at any time you have any questions or concerns, I am a text, call, or e-mail away. Sometimes, progress is hard to see if it is not immediate and drastic. But, just like losing weight, progress is not always obvious. I believe in "progress over perfection” (some may not believe they’ve made progress if they do not see perfection). Let’s celebrate and acknowledge the baby steps; after all, progress is progress!
