As a licensed marriage and family therapist and supervisor with more than a decade of experience in a variety of settings, including private practice, public education, corrections, and community centers. I work closely with children and adolescent youth who have experienced physical or emotional trauma, including their parents or guardians in the process to ensure the best possible outcome. In my work with children and families, I encourage growth and teach my clients the necessary skills to succeed in life. I believe that when we communicate with open ears and conscious hearts, healthy relationships will follow.

I strive to help every child feel that they have control over their lives and also help them develop the necessary skills to be happy, healthy, and make positive decisions. I also tailor my approach to fit each individual, unique client.    I earned a BA in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine, and an MA in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pepperdine University.  My area of concentration in graduate school was trauma in children and adolescents.  To continue my education, I have completed extensive training in treating children with trauma along with training in evidence-based interventions, children and family interventions, ethics, and more.

I have always been amazed with mental health, so being part of it and helping others is something I enjoy doing! Being part of an amazing team and learning new things on a daily basis have been very rewarding for me.

I am happy to answer your questions, plan for appointments, help resolve concerns and make your visits positive.

Works with: Couples, Individual, Parenting & Family

It can be hard to be a good parent and spouse, to meet the expectations of friends, colleagues, and family, all while trying to meet our own needs. No wonder we find ourselves lost, unfulfilled and disconnected. I provide couples and individuals the support and consistency necessary to thrive in recognizing their strengths, build confidence in who they are, and develop tools and increased awareness to create lasting growth.

Through my training and education, I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in facilitating change.

I have a passion for working with couples, parents, young adults, and adolescents. I've worked with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-empowerment, relationship/family concerns, divorce, blended families, parenting/co-parenting, and other mental health issues.

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment to assist you in creating change to live a quality life. I bring not only knowledge but compassion and heart to my work.

Works with: Children, Adolescent, Young Adults, Parenting & Family  

We all have been a child once and know the impact those small (and big) experiences have on the person we grow into, which is a lot of pressure and stress for parents. I love to work with children and families to support with decreasing this stress and increasing positive loving moments between you and your child. Children and parents both need love, boundaries, and to feel confident and competent, but how can that happen in the busy and chaotic world we live in?

I want to help you and your child feel these things and get each of your needs met as well as heal from traumas and ruptured attachments.

As a child and family therapist, I utilize a holistic and individualized treatment that uses TF-CBT, PCIT, CPP, art therapy, play therapy, CBT, and mindfulness. I have worked with all ages, specializing in 0-5 and young adults, and have worked with survivors of incest, trauma, sexual abuse, and racial trauma, as well as those with co-occurring disorders.I understand that often the world feels unsafe and we are given evidence that reinforces that; I too have been there and know the hardships that come with admitting to needing support and facing the anxiety, depression, and traumas that lie within. I am here to provide a safe space without judgment; only with care and support in you reaching your goals.

Works with: Children, Adolescents, and Family

As a Bilingual therapist (English-Spanish) who takes pride in working with clients of diverse backgrounds. I have a passion for helping children deal with big emotions. My approach to working with children is based on the understanding that play is a window into the child’s mind. A child’s behavior is telling a story of what is going on inside. Many times, when our kids are reaching out for connection, they will behave in ways that create the opposite response.

Because children’s verbal skills are not fully developed, they use play as a means of communication. Teenagers are at a crucial age where they long for belonging but have not yet formed a solid identity. By developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my adolescent clients & utilizing cognitive-behavioral, as well as solution-focused techniques, my goal is to help your adolescent thrive during difficult times.

Asking for help and guidance can leave you feeling vulnerable as a parent, but you are not alone. You have already taken the first step by searching for guidance. I am happy to join your journey in understanding your child’s behaviors and helping them discover their full potential in life.

Works with: Children, Adolescents, Young Adults, and Family

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist who enjoys working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families.  I am passionate about supporting families in realizing their full potential for love, growth, and peaceful relationships.

I have experience working with individuals dealing with presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief & loss, behavioral difficulties, and trauma. My goal is to provide an accepting, warm, and supportive environment for my clients to feel safe, heard, and valued. When working with children I utilize child-centered play therapy. This approach allows children to process challenges and communicate through their natural language of play. In addition to traditional talk therapy, creative interventions including art and expressive therapies are used to best support teens and young adults. I offer a warm, accepting environment that promotes growth, self-reliance and hope.

Works with: Children, Adolescents, Young Adults, and Family

Childhood and adolescent years can be a stressful time for children and their families. Therapy can be a time and place for children and youth to receive emotional support, enhance stress-management skills, and nourish their mental and emotional well-being during these formative years.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) registered therapist with experience working with young adults and children in both community and private mental health settings. My priority is to help create an environment in which clients feel safe, seen, and heard and I partner with parents to ensure they and their children receive the best possible support. I provide empathic listening and incorporate mediums such as music, art, and play to help clients learn to identify and explore emotions, process trauma, reduce stress & anxiety, and develop healthy relationships with the self and others.

I understand that it is difficult to watch your little one struggle. I look forward to collaborating, in order to best help your child get through life's hurdles, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding how therapy can benefit your child.

Works with: Children, Adolescents, Young Adults, and Family

Whether you are a parent looking for a way to help your child grow or gain support during a transition, or a young adult asking important questions about your past or worried about your future, as a registered therapist at Insight, I provide the support you need. I have a passion for working with young adults and children, striving for a safe space to process difficult life circumstances. For my young adult clients, we can learn new ways of taking care of and showing up for yourself. For my child clients and parents, I provide a safe space for children to play and process stresses in their lives that is essential for holistic healing.

I am passionate about collaboration with clients where we can learn different ways of coping, being, and living. Together, we can create a space for you to experience a non-judgmental environment with acceptance, empathy, and authenticity. Here, you will be able to explore, process, and understand who you are, how you got here, and where you want to go in the future.

Whether you are starting therapy for the first time, returning to therapy, or looking for a new therapist, all clients are welcome, and you can begin your journey with me today. In addition to my experience, I also have a background in religious studies and am passionate about seeing clients from various cultural, religious, and LGBTQ+-affirming backgrounds.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist and supervisor, the most important thing in therapy is that your child is comfortable, safe, and engaged during therapy. Building a relationship and making sure that your child is comfortable is the best way to true learning and growth and minimizes any stress on your child as much as possible. I also work on the reduction of behaviors that interfere with quality of life, while building replacement skills that increase independence and functioning. My approach is always client-focused. I work with patients on building their self-esteem and problem-solving abilities while empowering them to gain self-awareness on how to navigate their feelings, behaviors, and thoughts.

I have extensive training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). EMDR is a psychotherapy technique that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.

EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. Using the protocols and procedures learned in EMDR, I help clients activate their natural healing processes.

I am a bilingual and bicultural licensed clinical social worker/supervisor with more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults (college-age up to 25), and their families from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I take an active role in my work with patients using cognitive-behavioral and family systems techniques in a supportive and compassionate environment.

I have training in EMDR and TF-CBT. I am also certified as an Individual and Group Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Facilitator and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe therapy should be a safe place for a client's journey of openly expressing thoughts and feelings to help develop personal insights.

Works with: Children, Adolescent, Young Adults, Parenting & Family

Each and every one of us is looking for exactly the same thing- we all want to feel safe, loved, understood and empowered. We want this for ourselves, and those of us with children or teens desperately want this for them as well. Choosing to commit to therapy is a brave and exciting decision, and I strive to work side-by-side with my clients to help them become the happiest, most fulfilled version of themselves.

I believe that there is no “one size fits all” approach to counseling, and I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to discover what helps them to best explore their own strengths and needs. I have experience utilizing modalities including but not limited to play therapy, art therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, and mindfulness.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages and have experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, gender & sexual identity exploration, behavioral difficulties, grief, and life transitions. My goal is not to claim absolute knowledge or a complete understanding of your family’s experiences but to work as a team to bring about healing and growth.
