Great to meet you!

Life can throw overwhelming challenges our way, but you don't have to navigate them alone. As a trauma-informed therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I specialize in helping adolescents and adults break through the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My background spans intensive crisis and threat management, school counseling, and private practice, which allows me to bring a unique, highly strategic perspective to clinical care.

My approach to therapy

I utilize EMDR, cognitive behavioral strategies, and specialized anger management techniques (CAMS-II) to help you get to the root of your distress. Whether you are dealing with deep-seated trauma, acute anxiety, or major life shifts, my approach is collaborative, direct, and solution-focused. I provide bilingual (English/Spanish) services tailored to meet you exactly where you are.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity to get to know you and the reason you want to come to therapy.
