Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have training in CBT, Seeking Safety, and Motivational Interviewing. I have been working as a Mental Health Clinician for the past 14 years. I have experience working with teenagers and adults. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have been told to have a calming and grounding presence. I use mindfulness to integrate the mind-body connection to help individuals find balance.

My approach to therapy

It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
