Driven by Compassion, Led by Experience to support wellness

Our Mission

At Summit Therapy LLC, our mission is to deliver vital mental health support to individuals in rural areas, those frequently relocating due to military service, first responders, veterans, and their families. The pandemic exposed a critical shortage of mental health services, and we are here to bridge that gap.

We are also deeply committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all, especially those from marginalized communities. We prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring that everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or cultural background—receives compassionate, accessible care. Our goal is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are often underserved.

Founder

As the founder of Summit Therapy LLC, I combine a strong foundation in public health and clinical social work to address the unique mental health needs of our diverse and underserved populations. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) at Walden University, equipping me with leadership skills in ethics, and critical analysis, essential for effective mental health care.

With a Master of Social Work (MSW) specializing in Advanced Clinical Practice, I am well-versed in research models, diversity issues, and clinical interventions. My experience allows me to approach mental health with both a broad public health perspective and a deep understanding of individual needs. At Summit Therapy LLC, my mission is to provide inclusive, compassionate care tailored to those in rural areas, military families, and minorities, ensuring everyone has access to the mental health support they deserve.

Why The Name?

From a therapeutic standpoint, "Summit Therapy LLC" embodies the idea of reaching new heights in personal growth and mental well-being. Just as a summit represents the peak of a mountain, our practice is dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges and ascend to their fullest potential. We view therapy as a journey where clients, with the support and guidance of our skilled professionals, can navigate life's difficulties and achieve their own personal "summit" of mental, emotional, and psychological health. Our goal is to empower each person to reach their highest point of healing and self-discovery.

More about the Founder...

Background:

I was born in sunny San Diego, California, and proudly raised in Mexico, where I developed a deep appreciation for culture and community. My journey has taken me from the vibrant island of Puerto Rico to the rugged beauty of Alaska and Overseas allowing me to call many incredible places home, thanks to my husband’s military service. As a firefighter spouse and someone who has dedicated over 13 years to serving active duty service members and veterans in various roles within the federal government, including work with the homeless veteran program, I understand the unique challenges that first responders, military personnel, and their families face. With a passion for helping others and a heart rooted in diverse experiences, I am dedicated to providing culturally sensitive care to support the mental and emotional well-being of Black and Latino communities, as well as veterans and first responders.
