Ms. Bayer is a Bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience in the field. She works mostly with adults whether individually or in couples. Her specialty, based on her own background as a Latin married to an Anglo, includes working with mixed marriage couples, as well as parenting in a different culture.

Besides dealing with those issues, Ms. Bayer finds it very rewarding to help people who are experiencing difficulties at work, whether in terms of performance, dealing with a difficult boss, developing leadership or emotional intelligence, or wanting a transition. She is an active participant in your therapy, and uses cognitive therapy as well as family systems thinking in terms of her approach.
