I have been a Psychotherapist for the past 29 years, I consider myself "seasoned" and not old. My favorite saying is "Trust the Process". I am Hispanic and Bilingual, I treat everyone with the upmost respect and like for you to feel comfortable as it will be easy to talk about what is happening. I specialize in Individuals, couples, Substance abuse and end of life. I sometimes say it gets worse before it gets better, as we have to deal with the difficult issues we have swept under the rug in order to be able to move forward and see things from a different perspective. Mindfulness, CBT, Solution focused therapy.
I specialize in CBT and solution-focused therapy, Mindfulness, but more than anything, I'm just an enthusiastic and down-to-earth person who wants to help you feel better, trust the process and we will work together.
If your shy, do not know what to expect, and ashamed of talking about what is going on, we will go slow, and work on making you comfortable and explain the process and what to expect.... we can work together so as you may feel comfortable and be able to work on achieving your goals... Trust the Process.....
I look forward to working with you.

Carmen is understanding and empathetic. She’s almost always on time and opens my next appointment for me in a timely fashion. She makes me feel heard and helps me to problem solve. She’s a great family based counsellor.

Insightful, approachable, practical, and empathetic all describe this remarkable therapist. I’m relieved and more confident to get through my challenges with each contact and hopeful for the future.

Amazing listener. I feel like I'm talking to a friend rather than a therapist. She makes it easy to vent and access and get a grip on my life!

Carmen just gets me. She has approached therapy with me in a playful and unorthodox way and talking with her feels like a weight has been lifted.
