Life's detours, blindsides and curveballs have been my greatest teachers, the times of most personal growth and transformation. I am here to help you navigate yours.
I am now trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and incorporating these techniques into my work as well as my CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Mindfulness and Psychodynamic approach. I will also be integrating Ketamine and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy into my work in the near future.
I have a bucket-list of 101 goals, which includes creating/building the next global social enterprise and helping humanity heal (do good and build wealth). What can I say, I DREAM BIG! I eat, sleep and dream personal development. I started with Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in 1997 and currently rereading Outrageous Openness by Tosha Silver.

I have accomplished many of my Life goals and although my dreams and goals sometimes change as I myself change and grow, I am looking forward to achieving most by the time I reach the young age of 101.
I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA by hard-working Mexican parents and a compassionate and perseverant Mother.
I lived in Los Angeles for 15 years, Ojai Valley for 6 years and in 2014 after 20 years, returned to my hometown of SB.
I received my Master's degree in 1997 and became an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in 2009. I have worked successfully with clients from all ethnicities and across all socio-economic levels. I am also fluent in Spanish.

I have also been through times of discontent, despair, depression, doubt, extreme stress and overwhelm. And know what it's like to feel stuck, lonely, confused, unsure and scared. Sharing what I have learned with others who like myself, know there is more to Life than what most of us are living, brings me great joy and fulfillment.

I look forward to helping you rediscover, create and reach your own Life goals, dreams and passions.
If you are looking for a place to be validated, to be understood, to cry, to laugh, to have fun, a place to educate yourself, empower yourself, a place to find strength, courage, hope, meaning and ultimately identify and move towards understanding, growth, strength, resiliency, healing and transformation then I am honored to work with you and look forward to helping you on your Journey,
Dreams without faith (belief) are fantasies. Dreams with faith become possibilities.
