I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialty in the Latino community and diverse groups. I'm familiar with cultural dynamics, and I have 23 years of clinical work. I believe in first building a strong working relationship. I will use one of several therapeutic modalities, depending on the issues presented. These modalities may include Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. A combination approach can be utilized as well.
I'm known for being a good listener, caring, understanding, friendly, and motivated to empower and motivate clients by identifying their strengths. I have earned the necessary credentials, experience in private practice, clinic, hospital emergency room, psychiatric assessments, crisis intervention.
I have worked with countless individuals, couples, and families. I've always been interested in personal development and helping others through their journey. I look forward to assisting you in yours.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
