Great to meet you!

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns shaped by past trauma, or unsure how to move forward in life, you're not alone. Therapy can be a powerful step toward relief, clarity, and confidence. Whether you're navigating relationships, major transitions, or simply want to feel more in control of your emotions, I'm here to help. My practice supports adults and young professionals who are ready to heal, grow and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

My approach to therapy

I'm a licensed therapist offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. My approach is warm and collaborative, using evidence-based methods like CBT and mindfulness to help you develop skills to create meaningful change. I also speak Spanish and Portuguese and welcome clients who feel more comfortable connecting in their native language.
