About Us

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who has a medical (University of Colorado School of Medicine) and science (University of Colorado at Denver) background that led me into the psychology field. My Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology was earned in 2012 from the University of Denver. I have previously worked with at-risk youth and with diverse populations in private practice representative of all socioeconomic situations. Specific therapeutic strategies/modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT); Solution Focused-Brief Therapy; and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I work mostly with individual adults to guide insight and perspective. I am very directive and no nonsense in my approach, however, my style still embodies caring and dedication to your success.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from the Illinois Institute of Technology. My past professional focus has been underserved populations including individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty and those involved with the justice system. With a focus on strength-based practices, I offer individual, couples, and group therapy for relationship issues, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and substance use disorders. My approach to counseling is to develop a collaborative relationship in which my clients feel safe, encouraged, and empowered to become the best version of themselves they can be. My role is to provide psychoeducation on evidenced-based practices and interventions that promote wellness and recovery while reducing uncomfortable symptoms. My modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

In 2006, I completed my B.A. in Women’s Studies at Arizona State University. That degree served as a catalyst, launching me into the field of psychology. I studied marriage and family therapy at Regis University in Denver, CO and completed my graduate work in 2012. I have cultivated and honed my therapeutic skills in variety of residential and outpatient settings. I am committed to treat high risk families, couples, individuals, and children. My work has lead me to encounters with clients from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing many challenges including socioeconomic hardships, addiction, and trauma. The grace, acceptance, and strength of my clients inspires me and continually shapes my practice. My particular interests and specialties tend to fall within women’s issues, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship Issues. The belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care and a chance to be the best version of themselves informs every element of my work. With respect to professional orientation, my approach is grounded in client-centered, humanistic, systemic, solution focused, cognitive behavioral, multicultural and trauma informed approaches.

I earned my BA in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver. I believe it takes a great deal of courage to be willing to reach out for help with the issues that are getting in the way of your life. I believe an effective way to change and heal is being authentic with another person who is present for you in a therapeutic setting. As a seasoned therapist, I have experience and feel comfortable working with individuals 15 years and up and couples who are facing anxiety, depression and substance use issues. Once you share what you would like to address, I will provide you with options to choose from among the skills and techniques I have learned over the years. To partner with you in achieving your goals, some of the techniques I utilize are rooted in CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I hope to accompany you on your journey.

Before pursuing a career in professional counseling, I worked as a case manager and advocate serving teenage mothers, under-employed young adults and families in crisis for 10 years. I also served as a counselor at The Baraka School, a Kenyan boarding school serving middle school boys from Baltimore City. As a licensed professional counselor, I worked with Traci Berry McGhee for 15 years in private practice in St. Louis, MO and at Imani Therapy, a wellness center for women and girls. There, I provided counseling, would speak at school engagements, and facilitate SistaKeeper Circles and groups, retreats and workshops. The mission was to encourage young women to find their purpose and encompassed Prevention, Intervention and Awareness, focused on the issues that impact women and their communities.
I have experience and provide individual and family treatment for issues including marriage relationships, self-esteem, identity issues, life-transitions, depression, anxiety, and parent-teen relationships. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapeutic techniques and strongly believes in the concept of ‘ubuntu’ – I am who I am because of who we are. I strive to provide a supportive and trusting environment for each person to make decisions, problem solve and move forward toward professional and personal goals.

I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Currently, I focus on supporting individuals who are looking to improve relationships, are experiencing or experienced intimate partner violence, childhood abuse and neglect, sexual abuse and issues of acculturation and immigration. I am trained in EMDR, IFS, Sensorimotor psychotherapy, DMSN, Cognitive behavioral therapy, and Motivational Interviewing; and my approach in therapy is largely strength based. I am also a TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) certified provider. I integrate TRE to support clients processing their trauma in their body using trauma release exercises.
I was born and raised in Venezuela. My background was in Teaching ESL (English as a Second Language), and I taught in an inner-city school for several years in Venezuela. The families I served faced many challenges (poverty, gang and drug exposure, trauma) and they had little to no access to mental health services. After years of teaching, I moved to the USA where I worked as a teacher again in an inner-city school. This inspired me to engage in social justice work with a special focus on mental health. I returned to school and earned my degree, from the University of Denver, in Social Work with a concentration on Family Systems.
As a therapist, I truly enjoy joining people in their healing journey. I strongly believe people are resilient and capable of healing despite the hardships of the past.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree from Texas Woman’s University. I believe that problems are often the catalyst to initiate counseling and when overwhelmed, it often becomes easier to focus on problems rather than solutions.
My counseling approach utilizes systems theory to identify problems instead of seeing problems residing within the individual. The system generates the problem and the two are maintained by each other, and behavior is understood in the context of its’ environment. Together in a caring and respectful environment, we will discover your goal for the best version of your future.

I have worked primarily at agencies and have helped individuals and families in crisis as well as providing traditional individual therapy. I have worked with children (8+) to adults of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. I am also able to provide therapy in Spanish.

My theoretical orientation is an eclectic approach of Person-Centered theory, Existential Theory, EMDR, and regularly use of Animal-Assisted Counseling and Sand tray techniques. I strive to help people be the best version of themselves, regain attunement with themselves and others, and increase awareness around their passions in life.

I’m a good fit for people that want to address issues holistically and/or focus on doing work on a few select topics or events. I’m also a good fit for many culturally diverse people. Working with me is best mostly in-person because I heavily lean towards somatic therapies that lose a lot of impact even if I can do them online. I can teach some coping skills but tend to focus on trying to resolve the entire issue rather than just address it. Awareness is half the battle.
