A place to learn, grow, and find liberatory healing after being impacted by religious adverse experiences and 2SLGBTQIA+ minority stress. We are passionate about providing liberation-oriented services to those who have been oppressed because of their gender and/or sexuality.
Who am I? What is important to me? What do I believe in? What do I want out of life? I know firsthand what it is like to face these questions, especially when rebuilding after disappointment, trauma, and loss. In my own experience and in my experience working with clients, I have found that the most difficult times of our lives can be the catalyst to our greatest growth, and eventually, a sense of peace we had not thought possible. My primary areas of focus are working with clients struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and spiritual concerns. I integrate acceptance and mindfulness-based practices with evidence-based approaches to tailor a therapy experience that best fits your needs and goals. I believe those of us who struggle the most have the greatest resources for making real change, for building rich, full, and meaningful lives. Let’s work together to navigate life's difficulties, and in the face of challenges, be present, open up, and do what matters.
We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment services for a wide array of psychological issues to help you and your family reach your fullest potential. Our mission is to work collaboratively with our patients and their families to provide them the tools necessary to succeed in life.
Feeling stuck or constantly stressed takes an enormous toll on one’s body. It leaves you exhausted, frustrated, and extremely overwhelmed. The activities you do everyday become interrupted and difficult to complete. If these feelings resonate with you, it’s time to create alternative ways to bring balance into your lifestyle. Music therapy can assist in increasing the awareness of your mind body connection and help you live the life you deserve. Music therapy provides you the ability to create deep connection, in creative ways, to the daily stressors and challenges that provoke anxiety and negative thinking. Music therapy, mindfulness, and other creative modalities are intertwined within sessions to create new insights and understanding of ourselves when encountering our challenges. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I will assist you throughout your therapeutic journey to navigate these overwhelming feelings, work with sound and space, and support your creative self. Together we will explore and develop ways to improve your quality of life and reestablish balance into your life. Call now to discuss for a free consultation.
Do you feel like you want to realize your true potential, but nothing you do is working? It must be so frustrating to know you can do more but not be able to get there. Creating a meaningful life is challenging, and we can often feel like we are failing, losing our sense self, struggling in relationships, or feeling anxious and empty. Not knowing the solution can be really scary, but we can work together to find the light in your darkness. I offer a culturally relevant approach to navigate these concerns. My passion has been to work with individuals and couples to become improved versions of themselves. I create an easygoing space grounded in understanding, transparency and humor where you can bring your true self. I will challenge you to grow in a way that reflects your goals. During this journey, we may face some unknowns, but I hold this uncertainty with you and encourage you to embrace the discomfort with me. I do not think this is easy by any means but I want to face this with you. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation. I am available from Sunday to Thursday from 3pm to 10pm PDT. I truly look forward to meeting you.

I believe that being in therapy is about creating space for positive change. When we can slow down and make room for ourselves, we can grow and create lasting adjustments that make our lives more balanced and enjoyable. I work collaboratively with clients, providing a safe and non-judgmental space to explore issues, problem solve, navigate life transitions, develop new and creative coping skills, and strengthen one’s relationship with themselves and with others. I specialize in helping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction recovery. I also work extensively with artists of all kinds who are experiencing creative blocks or stagnation in their art/creative practices and life. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art materials and the creative process to help people express, process, and integrate their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Art therapy is for everyone, not just people who identify as artists or have experience with the visual arts. Clients see me for talk therapy and or art therapy. All sessions are tailored to the preferences and goals of my clients. My approach is holistic and person-center, integrating traditional talk therapies and art therapy with mindfulness/body-based practices. I am a patient and compassionate therapist, who values humor and direct communication, dedicated to supporting my clients in their healing process and personal growth, enacting the changes they desire to see within themselves.

At Spark the Change we whole-heartedly believe people can make changes to improve daily functioning, manage stress , and become their authentic selves. Let us help you on your journey and spark the change! "Change the way you look at things & the things you look at change" Wayne W. Dyer
I am a New York State licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice, with an office in Mamaroneck, NY. During the covid pandemic, I am working with all clients using tele-health. I have had extensive training in Mindfulness, Acceptance & Compassion Based Therapies (aka 3rd Wave Therapy) From my diverse experiences I have learned that: The way you speak to yourself matters. Negative self talk can be detrimental and it can be changed. Shame is a major contributor of emotional suffering and mental illness. This emotion thrives in secrecy. Compassion is a reliable way of improving your relationships, with yourself and others. Life is hard, and many times unfair. Knowing what you need, and developing the skills to support those needs, helps make the best out of life's difficult situations.
