Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! If you are seeking change, healing, or evolution, you are in the right place. As a psychotherapist, I am passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, self-understanding, and intention. Many of the clients I work with are struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, questions of identity, or a sense that something in their lives no longer feels aligned. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and identities, including members of the LGBTQ+ and Latino communities. Seeking support is a meaningful step, and I am glad you are here.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I believe therapy can be a space not only for symptom relief, but also for developing a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. I strive to create an affirming environment where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported in living more authentically. My work is informed by psychodynamic, relational, and mindfulness-based perspectives and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to get to know you as a whole person, as well as the symptoms or challenges that brought you to therapy. We'll explore what has been happening in your life, your relationships, and your personal history. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where you can speak openly and feel genuinely understood. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns, strengths, and areas of concern while developing a shared understanding of what you hope to gain from therapy. The first session is not about having all the answers, but about beginning to develop a deeper understanding of your experiences and determining whether working together feels like a good fit.
