Hello there and welcome to Kokoro Balance Integrative Services! Thank you for visiting my website.

At Kokoro Balance, I integrate clinical insight with leadership and organizational experience to help individuals and teams restore balance and resilience. With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and healthcare leader, I provide therapy, coaching, and workplace consultation that bridge the connection between emotional well-being, performance, and purpose.

Whether supporting professionals navigating stress and transitions, helping teams strengthen communication and engagement, or guiding individuals toward personal growth, my goal is to create a grounded, compassionate space for sustainable change.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and bring a bi-cultural perspective to my work, ensuring every client and organization I serve feels understood and supported.

What is Kokoro?

It can be translated to mind, spirit, heart, will, feeling, intention, thought, or core. Usually mind or heart is used, and in reference to the true nature and intention of human spirit. It refers to the core of the human being. It is believed that if the core of the individual's personality is not truly involved in an action taken by the human being, then that action is doomed to failure. But if the person's Kokoro is projected into action, then success is ascertained and nothing is impossible.
