Great to meet you!

I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep passion for supporting individuals and families through life’s most challenging moments. My background includes extensive experience in crisis intervention, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and behavioral challenges.

My approach to therapy

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. I take into account the full context of a person’s life including: relationships, environment, and identity to better understand how those factors shape emotional well-being. I am client-centered and strengths-based, which means I work collaboratively with you, honoring your unique story.

What you can expect from me

The journey to healing has its ups and downs, but with the right support, moving forward is entirely possible. Whether you’re seeking clarity around your own emotions or looking for ways to strengthen relationships that are meaningful to you, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we will work toward deeper understanding, resilience, and lasting change.
