I'm an LCSW with six years in the mental health field. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues, working with both adolescents and adults, including bilingual and Spanish-speaking clients. Having been a therapy client myself, I know how daunting it can feel to start, and my goal is to make it a warm, affirming, and empowering experience.
I blend psychodynamic, CBT, narrative, strengths-based, and parts work approaches, tailoring the mix to explore how past experiences shape present patterns, reframe the stories you tell about yourself, and identify the strengths and "parts" of you that are already working hard to help you cope.
Above all, I aim to create a space that feels affirming and human. Therapy can hold heaviness and humor at the same time, and I believe healing happens best when you feel safe enough to be fully yourself — including the messy, funny, contradictory parts.
We'll spend our first session getting to know each other — what's bringing you to therapy, what you hope to get out of it, and the strengths and barriers you're already navigating. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and with a clear sense of how we'll work together.
