Welcome!
​

I offer individual therapy, couple's therapy, and workshops for new parents adjusting to the transition to parenthood

I am currently offering Telehealth appointments exclusively

I specialize in women's mental health, prenatal & postpartum depression and anxiety. I am also trained in EMDR which is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma. 

If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions below, I would encourage you to call me for a free consultation. 

Are you recently pregnant or home with your newborn and struggling to adjust to the emotional and physical changes that you are going through?

Are you and your partner having trouble navigating parenthood and staying connected? 

Are you having a hard time thriving in your life because you are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder?


Are you are struggling with stressors that are affecting your work and relationships?

I can help you find the solutions and strategies to get through this difficult time in a safe and non-judgmental space. Give me a call to discuss therapy treatment options. Finding the right mental health professional for you is an important component in getting better and decreasing your stress.
 
Counseling offered in English and Spanish

About Me

I am Bicultural and Bilingual in English and Spanish. I offer culturally sensitive therapeutic care in my practice.

I believe that we all have a deep longing to feel heard and understood. I have 16 years of experience working as a mental health therapist in various settings such as non profit organizations offering counseling in schools, juvenile detention centers, as well as with a health care organization. 

My career began as a child and adolescent therapist and has progressed onto work with adults. I specialize in working with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting support, maternal mental health, grief and relationships issues.

After the birth of my two daughters, I was inspired to open my practice and specialize in the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. While my babies brought me joy, the postpartum period also awakened me to the challenges, unmet expectations and untold realities that this adjustment can bring to your life. As a result, I feel very passionate about guiding and supporting mamas and couples through the emotional changes that this time can create.

I am trained in the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders by Postpartum Support International -  a nationally recognized organization that works to increase education and awareness around the emotional changes that occur in women during pregnancy and postpartum.

​I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to assist my clients in the treatment of their trauma. EMDR is an effective treatment for a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, grief and mourning, depression. 

I am a certified Bringing Baby Home educator by The Gottman Institute

Licensed with the Board of Behavioral Sciences since 2011
