I am a licensed therapist passionate about helping people live authentic, intentional, value-filled lives. Getting to what matters and figuring out what is standing in your way isn’t going to be easy, but I promise I’ll work hard with you and that we’ll even share a few laughs along the way. My style is pretty laid back but I still think it’s important to have structure in our work so you have a clear idea of what we are working on and where we are headed. Our relationship is one of the most ...
I have been a therapist for 15 years and have experience with substance use counseling. I feel that it is a privilege to walk beside clients as they navigate their lives and that they trust me to be part of the process. It is not lost on me how much the power of being a safe space to land is. I feel that everyone can use the support of a therapist to help teach them new skills, refresh their mind on old ones, and look at how a positive mindset can have a big impact on things! I'm a therapist ...

I attempt to facilitate procession opportunities, education, and coping s...

Are you terrified of judgment in therapy because of a ""non-traditional"" lifestyle, relationship, or job? Are you exhausted by the demands of a system that never seems to give you a break? Are you experiencing feelings of guilt and shame of starting this journey because growing up your concerns were minimized or taking care of yourself was viewed as selfish? I am a bicultural, anti-racist, social justice-oriented, Latina therapist with a focus on supporting folx in navigating the stress and ...
I studied to become a therapist in order to advocate and work directly with people for change. In therapy, we do this together by looking at the main issue at hand. With gentleness, we address the context of the issue such as its history, the impact it's having, and the ways you'd like to see it changing. Approaches we can use are mindfulness and problem-solving. We utilize curiosity, reframing, and iterating to practice new ways of thinking and doing. As a Latina, I also appreciate how cult...
Being a teen or young adult can be exhausting. Just because you’re young, it doesn’t mean you don’t have real struggles, like loneliness, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or even hopelessness about what’s next in your life. If you’re navigating any of these challenges or feel overwhelmed by the transition into adulthood, I’ve got your back. I’m here to actually listen to you and understand what you’re going through, from the major life events – both good and bad – to the “small” stuf...

College can be amazing—and brutal. I remember when I was in college: papers, jobs, family stuff, breakups… and how stress can wake up old hurts. I’m Brandon Rodriguez, LCMHC (EMDR-certified), and I help students who feel stuck by trauma, panic, bad memories, or constant worry. How EMDR helps: we identify the moments your brain keeps replaying (accidents, losses, bullying, assaults, chaotic homes, medical scares). With simple bilateral techniques—like brief sets of eye movements—we help your n...
