Meet the Collective

I hear so many of us feeling pressure to "be" something more than ourselves. I want to help you live with authenticity, ignoring the pressure to conform. That could look like finding inner peace or working on relationships with others. Whatever brings you in, I want to support your growth.

My approach is rooted in my social work values and my lived experiences as a Mexican-American woman. I enjoy working with anyone interested in learning more about themselves, and my practice interests include:

• Identity exploration (gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, etc.)

• College students and young adults

• Survivors of trauma

• Friendship and Romantic Relationships

• Helping professionals and activists

• Nature walks/Eco-therapy

Transitions can bring incredible growth.  But sometimes, we can't see the possibilities because change is hard and often painful. 

I'm here to support you through your transition journey. I will provide a safe space for you to reflect on the past, envision your future, and create a present that supports growth and peace. I often help people navigate these life events:

• Entering or leaving the military community (anyone who's served -- including those who don't wear the uniform: family members, former spouses)

• Recovering from painful relationships

• Becoming a new parent 

• Launching young adults into the world

• Divorce

• Grief

My calling and passion are working with clients that are dealing with chronic illness, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship/marital issues, or working to overcome the challenges associated with divorce. I enjoy working with children, preteens, teens, adults, and geriatric clients.  When you take that first, daunting step of reaching out for assistance, I will be here to meet you right where you are, and help you get to where you want to be.

Providing you with a judgment free space to work through your current challenges, and helping you build the best version of you as an individual, couple, or family are uncompromising ethics and values that I live by. Focusing on solutions-based goals, using Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, or Christian Counseling, you will learn ways to conquer your greatest challenges, overcome your fears, and walk out a more successful, self-assured individual, couple, or family, ready to take on any new challenge life presents. Life sometimes seems unbearable, but you are not alone!

Having worked as a chronic illness nurse for almost 10 years, and in hospice social work, I know that life can be incredibly cruel. Facing day to day challenges, in a world that does not seem to offer much hope, can leave you feeling defeated and hopeless. I am here to walk your journey with you, and help you find solutions that will help you overcome your current challenges. If you are ready to start your healing journey, give me a call or drop me an email, and we will walk this path together. My primary areas of focus are:

• Grief Counseling

• Chronic Illness acceptance

• Depression and anxiety

• Self harm

• Relationship/Marital Issues

• Divorce Recovery
