I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan where my Mexican father and my Spanish mother taught me the importance of love, being true, and building community. I am honored to walk in the path of Patricia Cooper and Jaclyn Henretig, caring for the well-being of the Santa Barbara community one phone call, client, trainee, associate, supervisor, Center supporter, and human at a time.

With the generosity of the Santa Barbara community behind us, CCEC is able to provide confidential and affordable counseling services to individuals, couples, children, teens and families.
CCEC's mission is fulfilled through the generous gifts of the trainee and associate therapists in our Clinical Training Program.

They advertise if you just need counseling, just somebody to talk to call us. That is incorrect they take into consideration everything that you don't want them to take into consideration and then deny you service. If you're problems are too difficult for them to handle they deny service. If I was to try to get counseling there again I definitely minimize any mental illness problems that I had so that They wouldn't feel overwhelmed and would be able to Council me. Bottom line is I feel that you can't be truthful these people so better not even go there.
