I'm a bilingual therapist who has had the honor of sharing in unique journeys of inspiration and transformation. Challenges and stressors can change who we are and where we want to be. If you've noticed something is different in your quality of life and want to take steps to improve, you are not alone.

I’ve been working with Sylvia for a little less than a year now and I can honestly say she’s provided top quality care. She actively listens to the issues I may be having at that point in time and not only does she offer quality advice but great tools for managing or mitigating those issues. Furthermore she’s very accommodating to my schedule and will meet with you when it best suits you. Without a doubt Sylvia is the best choice I’ve made in choosing a therapist.
