Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Much of my experience includes working within the LGBTQ+ community which has allowed me to work with diverse client populations that have equally diverse experiences as it relates to race, ethnicity, age, gender, and sexuality. My clients are often young professionals navigating life transitions, family, and career demands while also trying to establish and embrace their own sense of purpose, satisfaction, and belonging. Clients may be searching for relief from the competing tensions of duty, success, and authenticity in our fast-paced world.

My approach to therapy

My work relies on a person-centered approach to help you gain insight on your social and behavioral patterns, develop skills to increase feelings of empowerment, and reduce feelings of shame, anxiety, guilt, and self-doubt. I do so while also exploring how culture, society, and your own personal history impact your understanding of your own identity.

What you can expect from me

I aim to create collaborative and non-judgmental spaces to help you develop practical strategies for positive change and resilience. If you are looking to build healthier boundaries, manage stress, process your experiences, or simply find more balance in your life, please reach out to me for a free, 15-minute consultation. I look forward to working with you.
