Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful, fulfilling lives. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults facing grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, and addiction recovery. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and use evidence-based approaches.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based, focused on creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I use evidence-based practices like CBT, IFS, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you process challenges, build insight, and develop practical tools for change. I’m warm, direct, and collaborative, offering honest feedback while respecting your pace and unique journey. Together, we’ll focus on your goals and work toward meaningful, lasting growth.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting a clear picture of what’s going on in your life right now and what feels most important to address. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your needs and begin identifying patterns or areas we can work on together. We’ll also start outlining a simple, realistic plan so you leave with a sense of direction and clarity. My goal is for you to walk away feeling understood and more grounded about your next steps.
