I believe everyone is unique and I value the importance of building a strong relationship with my clients as it is essential to their personal growth and healing. It is of great honor to work with clients living through different life journeys. I enjoy working with clients in partnership to create goals that are the best fit for them in a safe, nurturing and confidential environment. I have experience working with a diverse population of individuals from all paths of life. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, children, individuals experiencing relationship challenges,survivors of child abuse, miscarriage/infant loss, infertility issues and postpartum depression. I also specialize in working with children and families and am bilingual in English and Spanish to meet the needs of a more diverse and culturally sensitive population.
“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness; it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude."  -Brene Brown.
I enjoy working with children who are survivors of trauma and adults who are processing traumatic childhood experiences. I am passionate about encouraging clients to become the best version of themselves and incorporate the insightful change needed to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. In my personal time, I enjoy nature, gardening, earthing, and utilizing various meditation techniques to keep myself grounded. I love spending quality time with my husband and children. Being in a healthy mental space is essential to providing clients with the best service they deserve.
