LMFT Specializing in Reunification & Couples Therapy

For over a decade, I have dedicated my career to helping families heal, reconnect, and rebuild trust through reunification therapy. But my passion for this work isn’t just professional—it’s deeply personal.

I understand the pain of parental alienation and estrangement because I’ve lived it. My own journey with reunification was filled with roadblocks, not because I didn’t want my daughter’s father involved, but because co-parenting in the midst of hurt and trauma can feel impossible. Despite my efforts to create a healthy balance, my daughter became stuck between two worlds—two different parenting approaches, two conflicting influences—leaving her caught in emotional turmoil. I searched for services to help, only to find that reunification support was scarce, misunderstood, or inaccessible. That painful experience ignited my mission to fill the gap and ensure no other family feels as lost and unsupported as I once did.

Reunification isn’t about choosing sides—it’s about choosing love. It’s about recognizing that a child’s well-being should never be a battleground but a shared responsibility. Parenting with love, fairness, and unity is the key to breaking generational cycles of conflict and division. My work is centered on helping families navigate these challenges, providing a space where children can thrive rather than be torn between opposing forces.

As the founder of The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, I specialize in attachment-based therapy, EFT, EMDR, Gottman Theory, trauma-informed care, and high-conflict family dynamics along with other Evidence Based Approaches, collaborating with courts, attorneys, and families to create solutions that prioritize the child’s best interests. I am also an author, currently publishing a book, "When Parents Divide: A Story of Parental Alienation and Estrangement in the Reunification Journey", which explores the emotional and psychological impact of divided parenting and the necessity of reunification.

I hold a degree from UC Santa Barbara and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Mount Saint Mary’s University. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am committed to making reunification therapy accessible to diverse communities.

My work is not just a profession—it’s a calling. I am here to help families find healing, to help children feel safe in their relationships, and to remind parents that love, not division, is the foundation of a child’s future.

If you are struggling with parental alienation, high-conflict co-parenting, or need guidance in reunification, you are not alone. I invite you to reach out and begin the journey toward healing and connection.
