I specialize in working with women on empowerment and claiming their sexuality whether it's a new phase of life or in recovery from trauma & abuse.

With playful challenge, I focus on working with what's happening in the present moment. My biggest influence comes from a body-centered lens using mindfulness and awareness practices. This is due to my training and belief that we hold our experiences and greatest guides within our bodies. Whether this is a small or large part of our work together, we will sculpt our time so that it best suits you, your goals and your progress.

La Clinica de Esperanza, LLC,/The Clinic of Hope, LLC, is a bilingual, bicultural therapy clinic in Lakewood, Colorado, offering individual, couples, and/or family therapy sessions, either in Spanish and/or English, for both mental health and/or substance abuse counseling. We offer EMDR in both languages, as well as groups in Spanish regarding trauma, parenting, and grief/loss issues. Finally, we have a small DUI program offering Level II Education and/or Level II Therapy, groups at nights and/or weekends.

We used multi-systemic therapies, especially Structural Family Therapy, Bowen, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered, as well as a combination of these.

We accept Medicaid, various insurances, victim compensation referrals, and EAP referrals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Colorado Addiction Counselor II (CACII) and work with individuals age 15 on up. I run therapy groups and work with couples. I specialize in treating substance abuse/addiction, depression, and anxiety. I also love working with individuals going thru life transition, examples include but are not limited too: entering college, break-up/divorce, career changes, arrival of a new baby, questioning life's meaning/purpose, illness/death. My approach blends both Western and Eastern Psychology; I have a strong foundation in mindfulness training and Dialectical Behavior Therapy both of which work to increase one's resilience and acceptance in the world while decreasing self-doubt and disconnection.
