Mercedes has been very helpful to me! She’s taught me new ways to handle my anxiety and sadness. She helps me understand certain situations from a different perspective and reminds me the different ways I can respond to the situation without hurting myself or invalidating my feelings and boundaries. I can honestly say that I’m in a better state of mind because of her!

Entering into a relationship with a Licensed Mental Therapist is an important decision to make. We look for someone with the hope that we can feel better and live happier, more balanced lives. I believe that my role as a licensed mental health therapist is to assist you in reconnecting with strengths that you already possess, to help you in developing new skills and techniques that empower you and meet your goals. I have been in practice for over 16 years and have helped with individuals ranging from adults to children. As well as families and couples who are dealing with parenting issues and guiding individuals through life transitions.
I have extensive experience in crisis interventions and have been part of residential treatment programs as well as part of a team treating individuals with treatment resistant depression. I have years of experience using various modalities, including Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Taking this step in your wellness is courageous and I look forward to guide you through this journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
