Hi, I'm Eli, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Hi there! I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 6 years of experience in the field. In my experience, I have worked with children, teens and adults healing from trauma, abuse, attachment injuries, and neglect. I also support parents who want to strengthen parent-child relationships, understand how early experiences shape their parenting and build healthier family dynamics.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotions that seem difficult to manage on your own. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard without judgment and supported through life's challenges. Whether you're navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the tools you need to move forward. I work with both adolescents and adults, recognizing that every stage of life brings unique experiences and obstacles. Together, we'll create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore what's weighing on you, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being fully yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged, while also being supported in making real, meaningful changes in your life.

Clients often share that they feel at ease talking with me, but also appreciate that I’m honest and help them look at things in new ways. I’m not here to just nod along. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and figure out what actually works for you moving forward.

I take a collaborative approach, which means we work together to make sense of your experiences and build tools that fit your life. Therapy does not have to feel cold or overly clinical. It can be a space that feels genuine, supportive, and even a little lighter at times, while still doing the deeper work.

As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering individuals, particularly those navigating midlife transitions, multicultural experiences, and healing from challenging personal histories.

My area of focus is with high-achieving adults and athletes who seek self-discovery, optimal performance and skillfully practicing the art of living well. Having grown up in a high achieving environment, becoming one myself and then raising my own high achievers. I have intimate knowledge of the highs and lows and the guilt and shame that follow. There is a way to have a "balanced" life. "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." - Jon Kabat-Zinn

I am a compassionate listener who is focused on helping to improve our patient's quality of life.

Healing from trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions can feel overwhelming, especially when you've spent years carrying burdens that were never meant to be carried alone. You may feel stuck between who you are and who others expect you to be, weighed down by painful experiences, family dynamics, cultural expectations, or the pressure to keep everything together while struggling internally. Whether you're coping with complex trauma, sexual trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-doubt, or significant life changes, you deserve a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor serving individuals (including adolescents), couples, and families. I specialize in anxiety, trauma recovery, perinatal mental health, relationship challenges, parenting, and major life transitions. I offer support to those in ministry, missions, or helping professions (including fellow counselors) who may be navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, or carrying unique emotional, relational, or spiritual burdens. I am also trained in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy for helping the brain and body heal from distressing experiences, and certified in Prepare/Enrich, a premarital and marriage assessment.
