Great to meet you!

Throughout my career as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, with a special focus on maternal mental health and its impact on the parent-child relationship and overall family dynamics. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a deep respect for each individual’s unique journey.

Being fluent in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Bulgarian, I am able to connect with families from various cultural backgrounds in a meaningful way. My language skills and multicultural perspective have equipped me to provide culturally competent care that honors and embraces each client’s identity and lived experiences.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I offer a supportive, collaborative, and trauma-informed space where clients can feel safe to explore challenges and discover new ways of coping. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a compassionate, relationship-focused style that promotes healing, self-awareness, and emotional connection—particularly between parents and young children. Whether working individually or with parent-child dyads, I emphasize the power of the therapeutic relationship and the importance of strengthening secure attachments.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to feel heard, valued, and supported. Together, we will work to uncover your inherent strengths, develop practical strategies, and cultivate deeper self-understanding. My goal is to empower you to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence, while fostering growth and lasting, meaningful change.
