Personal Statement

Are you looking for someone genuine, caring and non-judgmental? Are you ready to feel better and achieve inside out healing? My clients experience fast results and are able to lead more fulfilling and free lives. I would be honored to help you in your journey and feel very motivated to see your healing come to completion! I see trauma as the common denominator in my clients and focus on a holistic approach to treat trauma through EMDR.

I have treated depression, anxiety, marriage challenges, abuse and trauma, grief and loss, OCD, acculturation, PTSD, addictions, children/adolescent's behavioral and attention issues, etc.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin 20 years ago, and since then have been counseling individuals, couples and families. Through the years, I have been training in various modalities including CBT, Narrative therapy, Positive Psychology and mindfulness, and have found my niche in EFT and EMDR forms of therapy. EFT research shows that 70-75% of couples move from marital distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements. EMDR research shows significant improvement in emotional distress after only 8 sessions.

On a personal note, I am married (16 years) and have three amazing children, one of them has special needs. Having Mateo has made me more compassionate and tender in working with children with different learning styles and needs. I also love to work with clients with various backgrounds especially tweens/teens and have seen tremendous success in family therapy. My other specialty is Couples. I love the intensity of the relationships and each session witness the transformations that take place from chaos and disconnection to love and peace.

There is always hope for everybody!
