"When someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without taking responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good...When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to perceive my world in a new way and to go on." Carl Rogers

I come from a contemplative background, offering a compassionate, loving approach to work alongside people who are moving through difficult transitions in life, and needing support and or tools.

My approach is client-centered; meaning every person has a unique way of working toward wholeness and health and thus, no one form of therapy works for everyone. I enjoy utilizing a full-spectrum approach to help access one's unique and limitless inner wisdom to help increase awareness, to repair, reclaim, and nourish oneself, revealing the sacred brilliance that is innately alive already. I work with a variety of treatment modalities including mindfulness therapy, art therapy, poetry therapy, play therapy, and talk therapy, to help shine a light on what wants to be seen in order to promote health and meaning. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, major life transitions such as grief, loss, divorce, life purpose, and spiritual issues. I work with children, adolescents, women and groups.www.sacredspacepsychotherapy.com

At Root Connections Counseling, I focus on grief and bereavement, couples work and sex therapy, as well as men's work and redefining masculinity. As a bilingual therapist, I offer my services in both English and Spanish. The name Root Connections comes from my philosophy of psychotherapy. Oftentimes, we patch up larger fixes with temporary Band-Aid solutions. At Root Connections, we aim to drop deeper into the root of the issue, finding solutions from the ground up. When we heal our roots, we can walk away with a richer sense of self and strength for all areas of life.

Join me on a collaborative and solution-oriented journey to find your full meaning, potential and passion.
