Great to meet you!

Healing and change are possible, even when it feels like nothing works. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are becoming. Some are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or past relational pain—including dysfunctional relationship patterns—while others are moving through life and women’s transitions, parenting, and shifting roles that can bring exhaustion, guilt, or a sense of losing oneself. You want to feel understood, regain clarity, and reconnect with what truly matters—without trying to “fix” yourself.

My approach to therapy

I work with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—often carrying the impact of trauma, anxiety, depression, or painful relationship dynamics. Many are navigating major life transitions, healing from narcissistic or relational abuse, struggling with self-esteem, or feeling disconnected from themselves or their relationships.

I bring a warm, intuitive, and integrative approach, blending attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic awareness with attuned listening. With over ten years of international experience working with culturally and clinically diverse populations, I support individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and women’s wellness. Therapy is offered in English, Spanish, and Italian.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we’ll take the time to get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. I’ll listen deeply to your experiences, challenges, and goals, and together we’ll explore what has or hasn’t worked in the past. You can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where we begin to identify patterns, clarify your needs, and outline a path forward that feels empowering and aligned with your life.
