After more than four decades as a therapist, I've learned something important: most people don't come to therapy because they're weak. They come because they've been strong for far too long. Life has a way of asking us to carry more than we ever imagined, whether you're caring for aging parents, grieving a loss, adjusting to retirement, managing chronic stress, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else.

For more than 43 years, I've helped adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, major life transitions, chronic health concerns, and the challenges that come with every stage of adulthood. I provide a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking practical support and lasting change.

No two people arrive in therapy with the same story, so I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Together, we'll look beyond symptoms to understand the experiences, patterns, and life circumstances contributing to your stress while recognizing the strengths that have helped you get this far. My goal is to help you build practical tools that fit your life, values, and goals so the progress you make in therapy continues long after our sessions.

My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused approaches. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, family conflict, trauma, chronic illness, or a major life transition, we'll create realistic strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and confident moving forward.

You don't need to have everything figured out before your first appointment. Our first session is simply a conversation. I'll take time to understand what's been weighing on you, what you'd like to be different, and how I can best support you moving forward.

Clients often describe me as warm, patient, and easy to talk to. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, understood, and equipped with practical tools you can rely on in everyday life. Therapy should help you build greater confidence, emotional balance, and hope that meaningful change is possible.
