Sometimes we're faced with the why's (why is this happening), the what if's (what if it doesn't get better), and the how's (how am I supposed to get through this), and a lot of times these can take over, leaving us completely feeling well...hopeless. The truth is we are more resilient than we think, we can be stronger than we currently feel, and it's NOT always going to last forever.
I'm a Marriage & Family Therapist licensed in Texas & California. I'm bilingual & have an extensive background in treating individuals, couples and families in a variety of settings. I've contributed to local and national articles on the topics of relationships, families, self worth, and stress management. I also offer supervision for LMFT Associates in CA.
I create a relational, connective space for you to bring the "why's, what if's & how's", I help you tune into your resiliency & energy to gain back the emotional stability you're seeking. I specialize in bringing families together, assisting you uncover barriers to rifts with one another, and helping you reconnect to a bonded unit.
