I am a mother of 4, a wife, and a 21yr active army veteran. I enjoy helping people in many capacities from mental health, life coaching, real estate consulting, and community service. So, if you are ready to embark on this journey, allow me to accompany you as a sounding board and guide. I’ll bring my compass and I can't wait to meet you.

Hi, I'm Christian, a Licensed Clinician Social Worker, eldest daughter, and proud first-gen Latina.

I am a licensed therapist passionate about supporting adults as they work toward healing and personal growth. My experience includes working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, trauma, grief, ADHD, conduct disorder, social anxiety, and family conflict. I believe every person has the ability to develop emotional resilience, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where that growth can happen. I especially value working with clients from diverse backgrounds and walking alongside them as they move toward self-healing.

I have been active in the mental health community since 2019. During this journey, I have had the honor of working with clients from an array of backgrounds and various life experiences including and not limited to survivors of sexual violence, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals experiencing housing instability, and overall assisting people as they navigate their personal healing journey.

As a working parent and spouse, I can relate to how stressed and overwhelming dealing with daily life can be. I’ve spent over 15 years in the counseling field helping individuals, families, and couples navigate everything from daily stress to mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma related disorders. I’m practical and realistic in my approach and love to walk through life with the clients I meet.

You may be used to being the strong one—the person others rely on—but lately you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself. You may be dealing with depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition that’s left you feeling stuck. If you’re tired of just getting through the day and want to feel more like yourself again, therapy can help. I work with adults across all life stages who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and major life changes.

I am committed to helping adults see that change is possible with help and support.

My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

I help clients regain their sense of power, purpose, and passion in every aspect of their lives. I believe each one of us have been given the ability to transform our lives to where we are not just living, we are thriving! I hope to help clients by connecting them to what they truly want out of their relationships, starting with how they see and relate to self.

I believe meaningful support begins with meeting you where you are. As a counselor with 25 years of private-practice experience, I take a warm, grounded approach to therapy, one built on genuine connection, shared understanding, and respect for your lived experience.

My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported as you navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful change. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and what matters most to you, so our work together feels practical, collaborative, and connected to your everyday life.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time or returning for additional support, you do not have to have everything figured out before we begin. We can start wherever you are and take the next step together, at a pace that feels right for you.
