"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver

I am passionate about helping people to live a values-based, full, authentic life. I love to support people who are exploring their relationship with themselves and who a passionate, creative people seeking out more purposefulness in their lives.

You are exhausted and overwhelmed. There’s too much to do and you never feel like its enough. Your brain never stops thinking. You always feels behind. Your body is aching. You can’t keep living this way.

If you are a parent, maybe you are yelling more at your kids than you’d like to admit, and the guilt you feel after losing your temper is real. You feel ashamed that everything sets you off. You really wanted to do this differently than how you were raised.

Maybe you feel like you’re failing at life or parenthood; you aren’t proud of how you are coping. And your relationships are struggling. You and your partner feel more like roommates. You feel like you’re drowning in parenthood. Life feels too heavy.

If you are looking for a space to unload your stress, take care of your mental health and feel like yourself again, you are in the right place. Please email to schedule a consultation- my Headway calendar is not an accurate representation of my availability: [email protected]

As an LPC, I’m here to support you through life’s messy moments. Asking for help takes courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you find your way forward.

It is one of my core beliefs that every person is the expert on their own life and experiences. As a therapist, I aim to be a witness to your journey and a source of feedback, clarity, and support. Through evidence-based techniques and compassionate guidance, I help clients develop coping skills, improve self-awareness, and cultivate resilience. I have a background in schools and special education, a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, emotional space where you will feel comfortable, relaxed and know that you are being heard. I want you to be able to express yourself freely without any fear of judgement. Healing takes place when you are able to be open, honest and vulnerable. Throughout my practice, it has been an honor to help facilitate extraordinary transformation in the lives of my clients. Believe me when I say that, “Anything is possible,” as I have witnessed my clients overcome trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and hardcore drug addiction.

Often, our feelings of shame, hurt and fear rob us of the opportunity to experience true joy and fulfillment in our lives. Do you find yourself running from these feelings or always fighting against them? Instead, I can help you embrace them and work through them. It is through this process of transformation where you learn to find acceptance, meaning

and purpose in your life. This leads to living with self-authenticity, and this is when you experience true joy and fulfillment. I look forward to being your catalyst for change. Together, we will take this journey and progress at your own pace. I encourage you to take the first step and make an appointment. Your life is worth it!

Welcome! I’m Ramon, a Drama Therapist supporting children, adults, and families. I believe creative arts offer a deeper language when words aren’t enough. No artistic skills are needed; we simply use play and metaphor to explore challenges from a comfortable distance. Children process emotions through play, adults bypass the analytical mind for authentic expression, and families discover new ways of connecting. My approach is evidence-based and open-minded, providing a judgment-free space to explore your experiences at your own pace.
