You do not have to keep carrying the weight of emotional exhaustion on your own. If you are feeling constantly overwhelmed by chronic anxiety, trapped in a heavy cycle of depression, or struggling to move forward after a traumatic experience, real relief and lasting change are entirely possible.

At Michigan Depression and Anxiety Therapy, I provide a safe, inclusive, and deeply compassionate space where your whole identity is honored, embraced, and safe. As a warm and empathetic, first-generation Mexican-American therapist, I understand how culture, family dynamics, and systemic experiences shape our mental health. I am proud to provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy and offer bilingual counseling fluently in both English and Spanish (terapia en español para adultos y adolescentes).

My clinical approach is highly collaborative, gentle, and tailored specifically to your unique life experiences. Rather than simply managing your symptoms on the surface, we will work together to heal the root causes of emotional distress, process past wounds, and build resilient, lasting coping skills.

I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health concerns, including:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & Complex Trauma: Safely processing past experiences so they no longer control your present day.

• Generalized Anxiety & Panic: Quieting the frantic inner voices, reducing physical nervous system tension, and breaking free from constant worry.

• Clinical Depression & Burnout: Unpacking feelings of hopelessness, severe emotional exhaustion, and disconnection to help you reconnect with meaning and vitality.

To help you get back in the driver’s seat of your internal world, I utilize advanced, evidence-based psychotherapies that go beyond traditional talk therapy:

• EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A highly effective, specialized trauma treatment that helps your brain naturally reprocess and release painful, stuck memories and distressing life events.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS): A powerful framework to explore your internal world and harmonize your inner parts. We work to transform a critical, frantic, or hopeless negative thought cycle into a self-compassionate, regulated nervous system.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Mindfulness: Practical, day-to-day tools to help you identify negative core beliefs, reframe triggering experiences, and find grounding in the present moment.

Finding a qualified specialist shouldn't be limited by your zip code. I offer 100% online therapy sessions, providing maximum convenience, privacy, and comfort right from your own home.

While my private practice is rooted in Waterford, MI, I proudly provide virtual mental health services to adults and adolescents living throughout the surrounding communities and the entire state, including:

• Oakland County Localities: Waterford, Clarkston, White Lake, Pontiac, Auburn Hills, and West Bloomfield.

• Statewide Virtual Care: Fully licensed to provide online telehealth counseling to anyone residing in Grand Rapids, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Kalamazoo, or anywhere else in Michigan.

It takes immense courage to realize that your current patterns aren't working and that you are ready to heal. Therapy requires practice, patience, and a playful gentleness with yourself—and you don't have to figure it out alone. You already carry the healing answers within you; my role is simply to help you uncover them.

I accept most major health insurance plans and offer competitive private pay options ($120 per session) to keep care accessible. I am available most weekdays and Saturdays to accommodate busy schedules.
